"open source project applications can use to connect up clients and transfer information in a peer-to-peer decentralized manner." How big is this in your opinion on a scale of 1-10?

If it scales and has the properties as advertised, the potential is massive for improving privacy and censorship resistance.

I aways take this type of claim with a grain of salt. I've seen this before, many times. But I really hope this catches on.

Interesting stuff.. "A cloud based virtual private server (VPS), such as Digital Ocean Droplets or AWS EC2, with high bandwidth, processing resources, and up time availability is cruicial for building the fast, secure, and private routing that Veilid is built to provide." how is that not going to be plugged by the providers...maybe I am not understanding.

Cant seem to find any serious details on the project. It sounds great, provide new network infrastructure and abstract hardware requirements from the software; but how does it work? It just looks like what we've been building on nostr, which is fine, but presumably you could never "trust" what you are using for processing data, right? Like, you could spin up a bitcoin node on here, how do you know the hardware provider isn't snooping or injecting bad data?

very interesting. comparing to holepunch i find that it has + ip privacy, and it is "mobile-first". somebody knows if "mobile-first" has better implications for p2p apps on mobile, that can`t be online always? (ex: keet on holepunch, =true p2p = no offline notifications, must run something like relay on always on computer for rooms, or no content)

mobile first is more than just availability but battery use on devices for which ipfs has generally sucked, veilids onion routing will massively increase resource consumption so i will guess they will depend on dedicated data center nodes, so much like the fbi now runs most of tor p2p is littered with failures and why nostr is not using it 'yet', holepunch seems the most promising attempt in a while keet is planning blind forwarding for availability so friend relaying, and they have some new notifications system
