if thats true why does it ask me to port a port when i want to invite someone ???

Personally, I’m looking more for p2p than for f2f – plausible deniability, and when you minimize the amount of contact between yourself and others + the technical data you have to swap (passwords etc.) you minimize the chances of compromising yourself and your partners.

But, centralized components of a p2p network are dinosaur relics that will doom a network to extinction, so I’m really impressed by the decentralization of the Alliance network!

For daily life, I’d like to stick with something simple and decentralized (like gnutella), and I hope for a new network that is also secure, encryped, and anonymous (like unmentionable networks).

For matters which required real security though, f2f would be my first choice by far; I can see this thing as having a lot of legitimate applications even in the business world!

Thank you for all the time and programming; kickass results; hurrah !
