About
Public "unconference" weekend with food, hang-outs, discussions, workshops and presentations of all sorts local-first p2p protocols: Cabal, Cable, Earthstar, Willow, p2panda, Irdest, Secure Scuttlebutt, PPPPP and more!
We want to ..
- Meet and hang out around offline and Tempelhofer Feld
- Discuss our ideas on local-first protocols - technically, politically and socially
- Take notes together and gather what we've learned
- Have communal lunch and dinners every day during this weekend in offline
- Give public workshops for developers around the protocols we're building and how to use them
- Share what we've been thinking about and doing in the last months in form of small presentations, anything from projects to recent cooking recipes
- Create a space for spontaneous things to happen in smaller groups, similar to an unconference

Sharing the Earthstar Encryption Project again.
> Earthstar is a tool for building undiscoverable, offline-first shared data storage. Users decide which devices their data are stored on, what the infrastructure of their network looks like, the shape of their data, and how they can interact with it.
> Storing and collaborating digital data is an essential part of every day computing, from photo-sharing amongst family members, to document co-authoring between colleagues. Earthstar is a tool for building undiscoverable, offline-first shared data storage. Users decide which devices their data are stored on, what the infrastructure of their network looks like, the shape of their data, and how they can interact with it. The proposed project adds a number of useful features, notably end-to-end encryption (including metadata), P2P discovery in local networks and efficient data synchronisation.

The Anti-Parler: Principles for decentralized social networking
Last year, the Beaker Browser team spent 6 months on a p2p social network. We dropped it when we realized that we hadn’t solved the hard problems. We had only solved, as I say in the thread below, “p2p tweets.” Today I’m going to talk about those hard problems. p2p, peer-to-peer, syndicated
Introducing P2P Matrix
TL;DR: we shipped a major update (v0.1.1) to https://

Sarah Friend, Saraswathi Subbaraman (Circles): CirclesUBI: Towards a Community-owned Basic Income
Is it possible to create a community owned currency that can exist both globally and locally without relying on the sovereignty of nation-states? And if it were, how would you build it? Circles is a cooperative project working at the intersection of cryptocurrency and UBI, trying to rethink money as a commons and as means to commoning. We are developing a p2p universal basic income using the Ethereum blockchain, and bootstrapping it with a Cafe that accepts our currency – currently gearing up for a research pilot in Berlin in 2019. We hope to shed light on the overall possibilities of alternative currencies, as well as the limitations of working within the blockchain space, given its political economy.
Presentation starts at 00:03:40 - The question and answers are really good.
Since the p2p network relies on people hosting and seeding I do see how a "boolean flag" for checking if the visitor is "hosting" would be a nice thing to have for some hyperdrive owners have put a lot of effort in gathering and publishing their content on the network.
And therefore I could understand that this could be used as a form of "paywall" to control the access to "freemium" content. I think this would be only fair if used in moderation. To call it "extortion", is a bit exaggerated as the whole network literally depends on us sharing each others content.
However, there are indeed privacy related issues. This API, together with our public IP addresses could be used to create a way for some hyperdrive owners to start tracking their visitors.
If the "gratitude" feature would be part of the main Beaker interface, within Sharing Hyperdrives, I will leave open here.
Perhaps it should be made "optional" for the visitors, within the permissions dialog, to disclose to the owner of the hyperdrives to announce that they are hosting the drive or not. Beaker browser itself should not show any explicit banners or notifications. That would be up for the hyperdrive owners to interpret.
Technically, I would even add a datetime stamp so there are more variants possible in how the hyperdrive owner can process is visitors are seeding or not.
This is Fine: Optimism & Emergency in the P2P Network
The last fifteen years has seen a surge of interest in decentralised technology. decentralization, internet, p2p, syndicated
If this was an actual p2p site we would still be able to use the dat or hyperdrive id now to get the contents - oh the irony
Installed #Beakerbrowser today. Feeling like I'm joining the p2p party at the end of the evening, around 6 am, where only the hard-core diehards are still left hanging out around the bar.
