IPZN and the future of ZeroNetJS #109
Description
A few years ago, I started this project as a tiny summer holiday free-time-project, but had to give up mainly due to lack of active contributors and the fact that I still had school at that time.
Recently, @blurHY has contacted me about his ideas of creating IPZN, which seem to align very well with those of this project.
The existing ZeroNetJS code will likely serve as a ground-base for building the InterPlanetary ZeroNet client, which will utilize both the existing ZeroNet network, as well as the in-development IPLD integration, which will allow us to do things way beyond what ZeroNet can do, possibly leading to a completely new ZeroNet-Network.
Among others, the IPLD/IPFS network could add capapbilities such as immutability (permanent, verifiable archival), interoperability (imagine github on ZeroNet, but with push access - this is partly already possible with IPLD-git), and security (by attaching block-hashes from well-known cryptocurrencies to posts to improve timestamp reliability, to allow for more complex permission management)
The future plans are being discussed, but as far as I can tell, this definitivly has the potential to be something big
