New ZeroNet version: 0.4.0 + ZeroMe decentralized, P2P social site
It took a little bit longer, than I previously planned, but the new version (0.4.0) and the social site (ZeroMe) is out!
If you are new user you can download it from https://zeronet.io, if you have already installed it, then you can update it using the ZeroHello homepage.
After you updated your client to the latest version, a link to ZeroMe will appear in ZeroHello’s “More sites” list.
What is ZeroNet?
ZeroNet is a network that allows you to create websites without any central server on hosting provider. It’s using Bitcoin’s cryptography and the BitTorrent network.
Why?
- We believe in open, free, and uncensored network and communication.
- No single point of failure: Site remains online so long as at least 1 peer is serving it.
- No hosting costs: Sites are served by visitors.
- Impossible to shut down: It’s nowhere because it’s everywhere.
- Fast and works offline: You can access the site even if Internet is unavailable.
Changes in 0.4.0:
- Merger site plugin. (What is Merger sites?)
- Live source code reloading: Faster core development by allowing me to make changes in ZeroNet source code without restarting it.
- New json table format for merger sites
- Database rebuild from sidebar.
- Allow to store custom data directly in json table: Much simpler and faster SQL queries.
- User file archiving: Allows the site owner to archive inactive user’s content into single file. (Reducing initial sync time/cpu/memory usage)
- Also trigger onUpdated/update database on file delete.
- Permission request from ZeroFrame API.
- Allow to store extra data in content.json using fileWrite API command.
