About ZeroNet

I don't see it as a big threat, because you are in full control over your hosted content. If you found a site suspicious you can remove it anytime.

Also planning to add a FAQ page to the documents to keep this questions answered: https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/56

eventually a more detailed answer will be provided.

yes I did , and im curious to know the answer as there wasn't one on the site, if you have any input on the matter i would be thankful , as i cant find an answer

I suppose it is entirely possible for someone to unknowingly host malicious or objectionable content.


Initially, you would have to visit the page(s) yourself as you do not host any site you never visit. It may be that upon first visit there is no malicious or objectionable content. However, the site could later add something you would not want to host without your knowledge and the changes would be pushed to you.

I see ,Thank you for your input

Anyone know if there's an index or search engine for ZeroNet? Or if you know of any good ZeroNet torrent/file sharing sites please share. Thanks.

best place to ask is on ZeroTalk or ZeroBoard

Torrent indexers: http://127.0.0.1:43110/ZeroTorrent.bit/
There might be more of 'em

Cool, I'll try them out.

Some random thoughts:

ZeroNet has the potential to make TPB more resilient by decentralizing the site itself. The whac-a-mole game they've been playing with domains recently is not sustainable. ZeroNet hasn't really answered the question of scale and indexing torrent metadata. Do you host the entire site as one site, or break it up into mini-sites via category (tv, movie, porn, games, etc)? When TPB keeps adding content, how do keep the site performing well for everyone? I've thought that the site can be owned by TPB, but all the contributors are user accounts where the uploaded content is owned by the users. The TPB owners have final say and could delete any contribution (e.g. malware, fake torrent, child porn, etc). 

Fortunately, the source code is open... so anything you need can be coded with smart people and money to fund those smart people. 

With a decentralized site, you don't have hosting costs, so that potentially could be redirected toward site development, or ZeroNet features. 

WebTorrent has a role to play as a PopcornTime replacement. This will allow for true cross platform consumption of web media... Never liked the idea of having to download a Windows EXE to stream media.

TPB relies on a code base that is incompatible with ZeroNet, and it is highly unlikely Winston will ever re-write it to work there. The best you'll get is if some enterprising individual built their own mirror.
