hello,
I got an email from bitcointalk saying that my account got attacked and the follow information may have been leaked.


Anyone else got this email?
Or is this email some kind of a scam?
The email says it's a PGP signed message.

thanks
greg

Hello,

Yesterday I stumbled upon some old P2P networks.

Freenet - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet
Winny - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winny
Share - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_(P2P)
Perfect Dark - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Dark_(P2P)

After reading through I noticed how similar the above technologies are compared to bitcoin. (i'm not a dev)
They all use decentralized distributed data storage, nodes, forgery warning, encrypted cache which seems to be the blockchain, associated keys, hash for search and validation etc.

From my limited tech knowledge it seems the only major difference is that the bitcoin network has a "proof-of-work" trust system since it's money being transferred.
So in a way bitcoin has turned a shady "dark net" into something trust worthy. Quite brilliant.

what do you guys think?
