Welcome to the world, rentanode.nl! I'm delighted to hear that there is another company focused on helping customers use Tahoe-LAFS. I've already had two potential customers ask (on twitter) if it would be possible for someone to lease service from both rentanode.nl *and* leastauthority.com and spread the ciphertext across both services. Because of the architecture of Tahoe-LAFS, it would be easy for us to make that possible. Let's talk about making sure it can work. With our current setup, leastauthority.com always provides the introducer, and since you said the customer can provide their own introducer for rentanode.nl, then the easiest way to do it would be to use LAE's introducer. Note: decentralized introduction, either by running multiple redundant introducers per #68, or by some more advanced gossip protocol, will probably be coming out in a future version of Tahoe-LAFS. Presumably that would make it even easier for customers to combine our services. Regards, Zooko P.S. I think the announcement of rentanode.nl should be a headline in the next edition of the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News! https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/68# implement distributed introduction, remove Introducer as a single point of failure _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
