That's my point Mike.
They can throttle you now and you don't know about it other than slow speed. Servers that join networks up can strip and censor words and images if they so wished. The idea is fine but it's wide open to be slammed as a tool for the terrorists and shut down before it gets anywhere.
It may be great for emails, and e-commerce, but in my view it's pointless for normal websites. Why would you bother breaking up a website, encrypting it, then joining it back together. 

There are already many ways to protect emails, websites and talk out there.
How many of us are using them.

Hi Chris,
This is the bit I don't understand. How can it bypass the carriers? I connect to the internet via my local telephone exchange, owned and controlled by BT, as most people do. BT also happens to be my Internet Service Provider ISP) or carrier. They could shut me down any time they felt like it no matter who my ISP was. How do we get around that?

Hello Colin,
From what I heard of the video, payment is in kind i.e. use of part of the disc on one’s computer as all info is backed up across individual computers and payment is also in making some info available that can be shared.
It bypasses the carriers, so in order to destroy it they will have to remove telephone network. Chris

This does look good, some points however.
What is the cost in the future, will it increase - the poor may be left in the dark. 
What will the speed be like?
And do you not think that when loads of us use it, the government will immediately crack down on it and inform all carriers to block it's use. 

Just points to ponder before we get too exited.

Colin.

    Hi All,
    It was me who started the thread about Internet security with the
    idea of using TOR. Several people responded pointing out that
    whilst we use servers security is still non-existent!

    I have just watched this from Chris Pead and this seems to have
    cracked the problem in that it doesn't use servers to send data.
    Although it is not up and running as such it is attracting a huge
    amount of interest from people concerned about keeping their data
    safe. There are two videos one which is the two Scottish
    developers are interviewed by Max Keiser and the other is an
    animation that explain in simple terms how the system will work.

    I thoroughly recommend watching it and suggest watching the
    animation one first and then watch the interview.

    I would appreciate feedback from all the computer geeks back to
    the list rather than me personally.

    I think this will also be of special interest to the ECG!

        MaidSafe is a game changer. To see why, watch this excellent
        12 minute overview of the system. Without servers, no one can
        shut down or intercept any one.

        Kind regards,
