Thank you for your comments. These are valuable, and they seem to confirm my 
(short) experience with it.

I am more interested in the protocol. People are already using RetroShare, 
right? It's FLOSS, it has some sort of a protocol underneath. So it is 
possible to create new implementations that do not make errors of the original 
one.

*IF* (and that's a pretty big "if") the protocol is solid, of which I have no 
way to ascertain.

So I guess this is my question: does RetroShare's protocol seem solid and 
sensible? Should we invest time and effort into it?

As it is the first DHT-based communication and filesharing application/system 
based on strong encryption that is actually usable -- at least from what I 
have seen.
