Exciting news, everyone! We are pleased to announce that Anomos is now receiving funding from the NLnet Foundation. The magnanimous individuals at NLnet have been a driving force in the development of open information technologies over the past 12 years, supporting inspiring projects and groups like Tor, GNUnet, The Free Software Foundation, and CAcert. I encourage you all to take a look at the other projects they’re currently supporting. If you share our belief in the principals of open source, open standards, and the free exchange of information, you will certainly find things of interest there.
This funding represents a huge step towards the sustainability of the Anomos project and will allow us to devote more time to its development. Now more than ever we’re looking to bring in new developers. We’re holding weekly developer meetings and would be glad to take time one-on-one to bring dedicated individuals up to speed.
Along with producing a complete implementation of Anomos, one of the primary goals of our partnership with NLnet is to work towards verification that the Anomos protocol and our implementation are sound. To facilitate this, we are writing a formal protocol specification and a paper on the level of anonymity which we believe the protocol supplies. We don’t expect to get everything right the first time, but by enabling a dialogue between users of the software, ourselves, and security professionals we hope to strike a good balance between security, performance and usability.
Thank you, NLnet, for providing us the opportunity to continue our work.
I’ve had you guys on my RSS feed for some time now. Just want to say this is great news. All the best for the project.

newer Bittorrent sources supports dht, will be switch Anomos
to Bittorrent 5.2.2 ?
Trackesless or Bootstrapping was realy usefull without Tracker
on windows i get errors with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “btdownloadgui.py”, line 3055, in
File “Anomos\controlsocket.pyc”, line 105, in create_socket_inet
AttributeError: type object ‘RawServer’ has no attribute ‘create_serversocket’
i using Python 2.5 …
when will be fixed this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “btdownloadgui.py”, line 3055, in
File “Anomos\controlsocket.pyc”, line 105, in create_socket_inet
AttributeError: type object ‘RawServer’ has no attribute ‘create_serversocket’
So when can we expect to start using it as a pre-built BT client?
and where can be find the Tracker software?
seems then this AttributeError comes only under Windows
damianond: I’ve made a change which should fix this issue, but as I’m not on windows I can’t test it right now. Also, this is legacy code for the BitTorrent GUI which we just haven’t gotten around to updating yet.
Golum: the tracker software is included with everything else. See git.anomos.info for the source and http://wiki.anomos.info/wiki/Testing for how to test it.
Phoenix: Thanks for testing that, I imagine it’s not doing “the right thing” on either platform, but only Windows was calling create_serversocket
Anomos has a Build in Tracker?
I thinked we need a webbased Tracker..
get again errors:
raceback (most recent call last):
File “btdownloadgui.py”, line 3055, in
File “Anomos\controlsocket.pyc”, line 106, in create_socket_inet
TypeError: unbound method create_ssl_serversocket() must be called with RawServer instance as first argument
