"Anyone a remailer, anyone a mint" is one strong approach.
I know this suggestion has been made before, probably by myself, but it seems the remailer programmers may be missing a good opportunity in not pursuing the inclusion of remailer code in the popular Gnutella cleints (e.g., LimeWire). They advertise they are looking for new "content communities." http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/formgroup I don't see any reason why email can't be added as a new form of content.
I haven't heard this before. It's a good idea.
I've tried to contact limewire about working with them on some distributed resources coding concepts. I found them unreceptive. They suck.
I've started on the very beginnings of a GNU Distributed Computing client to attack the RSA RC5 and factoring challenges.
Jeez, why waste time on such an old-hat idea? I'm serious. The latest factoring and RC5 challenges do nothing new. Neither does using a bunch of machines. Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt. Better that you and other programmers spend effort on exactly what this thread is about: putting interesting features into Morpheus, Gnutella, etc. Better yet, using this P2P power to do a better version of either. But factoring challenges are old news. You're about 5 years too late (not that it was terribly interesting even 5 years ago...). --Tim May
