25C3 was amazing! Thanks to everybody who presented and attended! Especially big thanks to the German Privacy Foundation and the i2p team.

The video of our lightning talk is embedded above. You might not be able to see the slides in the video (that’s what the interrupt is about) so if you want to see the slides you can see them here.

Hello!

Exciting news: Tomorrow, we leave for the 25th Chaos Computer Congress in Berlin, Germany! We will have a table and hopefully be giving a lightning talk so come by and have a chat with us!

Also: After a brief period of flux.. Anomos is working again. We began to switch from our hacked-up public key system to a proper SSL/Certificate system a while back and got bogged down with school work so things were off track for a while, but now we’re free and have had some furious spurts of coding and now it works again with proper SSL! Comments on the last blog entry indicate that the GUI is broken again (bugger), but I can work on that, I doubt it will be anything too major so we can show off the fanciness for 25C3.

See you there!

Rolly out!

Hey all! Rich here.

I’m going to be going to the Free Culture 2008 conference in Berkeley, California this weekend and hopefully giving a quick talk about our project! If anybody is going to be there, you should stop by and meet me and we’ll hang out and have fun!

Just letting you all know, we are progressing along quite well. We have now done successful intercontinental test downloads from multiple anonymous sources! Anonarchy is nigh!

And our most exciting announcement is just around the corner!..

Me and John just got back from the Last HOPE conference in NYC. We got to talk to developers from both BitTorrent and Tor (thanks for the shirts and stickers!) who gave us tons of good input and ideas, some of which we’ve already integrated! Good times were had by all!

Thanks for everybody who came to see our demo on the 2nd floor. If you missed it, I’ve put up a copy of the pdf, which you can download: Anomos.pdf

John has been diligently hacking away at the codebase recently and it’s coming along really nicely. Clients can now securely connect to the tracker and handshake to securely connect with each other. Data encryption up and down is in place, and the Relayers are being worked on so it shouldn’t be long until a slightly hacky but working alpha is available.

I set up an Anomos Wiki which we will be using for documentation and guides at somepoint, but there isn’t any content there yet. I’m also thinking about setting up a phpBB forum or a Google Group so we can handle development discussions.

Rich out!
