Hi dear admin. I had an irrelevant question on my mind for a very long time ( 3 to be precise.)

1. What is your degree?
2. What is your age?
3. What is your sex?

Tnx.

Screenshots aren't resized properly on anamorphic videos, e.g. https://animetosho.org/file/horriblesu...mkv.399304 . Seems like like it gets stretched twice.

Another bug - links to (some?) comments get stripped on main page (e.g. https://animetosho.org/view/jacobswagg...mment70008 vs https://animetosho.org/view/jacobswagg...mment70008 in [view all] comments page). Probably AniDex-only thing.
Edit: works properly now.
Edit2: Links to comments on HS-sourced torrents are broken.

File is anamorphic
03/05/2017 14:27 — RSB2
I know. Video stream is 720x480 (3:2 or 1.5 ratio) flagged as anamorphic 16:9 (or 1.66666). Screenshots are better be 16:9 since that's how video is supposed to be displayed (and video stream has that information), but doing 3:2 screenshots is also reasonable since that's how raw video is. System does neither and makes screenshots in 50:27 ratio (or 1.85) which is wrong and that's why I pointed that out.

Anybody heard about the SAFE Network here? https://safenetwork.org/ https://safenetforum.org https://github.com/maidsafe/

It's gonna be a fully decentralized storage and communication network, designed explicitly to make it impossible to eavesdrop on users, or to block it.

Data is spread across many computers, almost like torrents, but everything is encrypted, so nobody knows what's on theirs. The network takes care that everything is stored redundantly, but not wastefully, and when things get popular, there will be more copies: a DoS attack will just make it faster, basically. Files are split into blocks like torrents, and the master copies of those blocks will be stored on "vaults" (software you can run and earn money with) depending on their hash v.s. the vault's hash. What this means is that you can expect each block of a file be stored on a different computer: your favorite 8GB rip can download in parallel from 8000 different computers (if you can handle the bandwidth, that is.)

Your "account" is just another data block on the network, addressed by the hash of your username and password together. The twist: nobody knows that data block is your account, or that it's even an account, and no password is ever sent to anybody, not even encrypted. Good luck, copyright trolls :)

It's also a replacement for the web, so you can build websites, just using different paradigms. You won't necessarily use a server, you see, so we'll have to use mutable shared data (one of the fundamental types on the network) for dynamic content.

To keep things civil, uploading will cost some coins (the thing has its own cryptocurrency), but storing data (running a vault) will earn you the same kind of coins, so no worries. If you will, think like it's a private tracker, except anybody can join, and nobody can shut it down.

It's also a framework with an API, so you can develop apps to run on top of it. The whole thing is open-source, anybody can look, play, develop.

Anyway, this thing has been in development for quite some years, but now we've seen several alphas and test releases, each testing a new part of the required feature set. The devs are very professional and devoted, and they are 100% unwilling to compromise on the vision, that's why it's been taking so long. When something is not working, they go and find a way, no matter how much work or time it takes, basically.

Disclaimer: I'm *not* working for them, I'm just super excited, because nothing like the Nyaa shutdown could happen when it will be built on this thing :)
03/05/2017 12:28 — Anonymous
Most ppl on this site and otherwise will think you've gone insane. They can barely understand how http or bittorrent works yo.

That being said I'm 100% percent behind techs like maidsafe, zeronet, ipfs. Problem lies like always between chair and keyboard.
Without mainstream adoption these will always be useless. There won't be people to download from there, hence to people to release there which equals no traction.
Maybe, MAYBE if some really draconian laws (and enforced too) appear then people will migrate. And I mean arresting thousands of ppl and such.
Until then why should they. Nyaa went down . Big deal. Plenty of torrent sites around (tokyotosho,anidex, anirena). Plenty of release groups (animerg, hi10dl, kametsu) that offer ddl or even http. Not to mention AT. 1 script change and it's business as usual. If you're a hipster you can even try IRC and XDCC. There's only like a gazillion tutorials and hey, no ads. Free clients too: xchat, nettalk.

So yeah, maidsafe will remain a tech demo until some really serious shit happens.

If you're really passionate about this kind of stuff look into hyperboria for a truly awesome idea. Also as an aside google "libswift multiparty" for some neat protocol.
03/05/2017 12:42 * — timo97
Yea, I'm mostly targeting this post to those who can understand it and care about it, but somehow have missed it so far. I'm not expecting much, but still it's worth getting the word out :)

You are right, it needs to get to the point where users don't need to understand or care about how it works. It will take some time. If a random qualified person here gets excited and joins the effort, that may make it a week or two faster.

As for the adoption, it will be super fast, exactly because of torrents. Once something is up there, it's accessible for anybody with minimal investment (client install is already one-click, and it's just the test nets!), except no worrying for copyright trolls and governments, and no dead files. It's a no-brainer, especially for the lazy-ass bastards who's the majority.
03/05/2017 13:36 — timo97
Hyperboria is awesome, and something like that is the future for sure. However, it needs to pass a threshold of adoption locally for it to work at all. On the other hand, things like the SAFE Network, that build on the existing internet infrastructure, can smoothly scale up from sparse global adoption.

Libswift is barebones bittorrent, right? It looks like a good idea, but it doesn't provide something fundamentally superior to bittorrent (e.g. privacy, that stuff would stay seeded, etc), so I doubt it could take over.
03/05/2017 13:43 — codemon
You got both points right. The ideas are there. What's missing is the traction from user side. That will be, in time.
As you may have heard Turkey banned Wikipedia (rofl) so that time might be sooner than we expect.

Also hope you're happy, I made an account here cuz of you. Now admin knows I called him a 17 y/o girl.

you will be excited a long time cause darknet (Zeronet/IPfs/i2p) won't replace bittorrent any time sooner.
03/05/2017 13:19 * — timo97
It's all about utility v.s. cost. Bittorrent is becoming costly because nobody has a few years to throw away in jail. With that pressure in place, and as long as the alternative is just as easy to use (and maybe even superior in some other ways, too), there's no reason it wouldn't get adopted fast.

"Without a user base these new technologies don’t catch on, so that keeps the current status quo intact."
03/05/2017 16:07 — Anonymous
When torrenting becomes impossible, ppl will use filehosting sites. And then that becomes impossible, ppl will use streaming venues. As long as ppl can access things over HTTP, darknet won't become mainstream.
03/05/2017 17:35 — timo97
File hosting sites are a pain: full of ads, paywalled, forced to wait, slow download, and so on.

Streaming sites are a mess for the same reason, but how should I don't know, I'm not using them (AnimeFTW is pretty neat and clean, actually; there may be others.)

However, the SAFE Network will be as easy to access as the clear web, so people won't need to consider which one they are using, because it will all look the same: you open your browser, then browse away. Except, nobody can see what you're doing, and nobody can ban what's up there.
03/05/2017 18:14 — Anonymous
ppl would have stopped using them long time ago because of those cons. But there's still a considerable amount of ppl who still uses those mediums, despite all the pitfalls.
03/05/2017 22:32 — timo97
Torrents are "complicated" compared to a streaming site, but if you can just open your browser and click a link, then watch away, then I'm not sure what you say would the showstopper be for SAFE streams versus HTTP streams. Which is how it should be: the technical details need to disappear for it to become mainstream, and exactly because that's the goal is why I think it will become mainstream.
04/05/2017 03:12 — Anonymous
You can already one click download torrents via browser just like ddl. And you can also stream torrents on browser. There's even option to use TOR for that. Bittorrent have evolved in the past 3 years.
04/05/2017 12:26 * — timo97
These are the very simple points I'm arguing:

* Torrenting has been becoming more and more dangerous all over the world.
* If a new thing can fix that without making things complicated, it will spread fast.
* If the new thing solves other issues as well (e.g. unseeded torrents), it will spread even faster.

The SAFE Network is my personal upcoming favorite because it's designed from the ground up with these in mind:

* privacy: nobody knows who you are and what you're doing,
* security: everything is encrypted and signed, so you'll never get fake stuff,
* performance: popular stuff gets mirrored until demand is satisfied,
* robustness: data gets replicated automatically; churn is expected, not an exception.

Linking to a SAFE document will be no more complicated than linking to HTTP: you'll just use a different schema ("safe://") for e.g. that video in an HTML5 player. If the user already have the client installed, they won't even notice (or care) where the content is coming from. Zero fraction, basically.

It'll probably have a "pay the uploader" feature, by the way, where the original uploader would get some coins for each download (though not for the cached copies, only the masters, so revenue would reach a plateau, eventually). This would incentivize uploads for providers of popular content.

You know how little it would take to reach worldwide adoption? HorribleSubs releasing their stuff on it, that little :D

You had me up to "gameified with a cryptocurrency for no apparent reason".

Also the need for a transport daemon on every host, and the lack of inclusion in cURL, WGET, any language's standard library, Windows' protocol handler, etc. etc.
04/05/2017 22:51 — timo97
"No apparent reason" v.s. "incentive to store crap" is a big difference.

You don't need to run a vault (storage daemon) actually; downloading works well without that, so you can use apps on a phone, for example.

I can't remember bittorrent was included in curl, wget, etc either.
04/05/2017 15:01 — Anonymous
Oh, and also the idea that I somehow need an account just to use it.

Imagine if I needed an account with the HTTP consortium just to use http?

yup that is pretty much what happend in germany. torrent is punished harshly (and thouroughly) that is why everybody switched to file hosters and streaming.
04/05/2017 07:21 * — admin
because nothing like the Nyaa shutdown could happen when it will be built on this thing :)
Except people generally won't, because it yields way too much control an owner has over their site.
Even if you ignore that, these P2P systems are too fundamentally different from traditional setups, and adapting a working website is no small feat.
Combined with the fact that everything's super new and very immature, and userbase adoption very low, it'll be a long time before anything serious ends up there, if ever.

Still, it may only need one motivated individual, and anime is one of the few niches where the community is open to obscure technologies.
But, as one who runs a website, I can't see such a thing happening any time soon.

Thanks for the info though, and apologies for the negativity.
04/05/2017 09:08 — codemon
Other people were much harsher, myself included. The community has to go there eventually but now is really not the time. Too many people cant basically understand torrents and complain bcz they have to use magnet links for instance. Just look at the HS discord feed.

All you need to download a torrent is the hash but you have to spoonfeed them, if it's not clickable don't hold your breath for the majority to rebuild the magnet URI scheme from the hash.

And for all these techs to work you need people for peer to peer. No community = no go. Hence You cant start it with them (at the moment) nor without them.
04/05/2017 09:29 — admin
Just look at the HS discord feed.
Not a very good way to judge the general population though.
People who don't have issues are less likely to post, so what you're going to see isn't really representative.
04/05/2017 09:45 — codemon
I mean disqus up there, but you probably got the gist.
The dude asked HS to upload torrents cuz he wouldn't use magnets, even though they work fine on their own.
Some clever fellow even asked him if not using magnets was a religious thing.
But, granted the HS disqus feed is full of newbs and many shitposters so not really representative.
Only went there for teh dramah since nyaa shut down.
