Telecomix v2.0

We are a group of ex telecomix agents and other internauts brought back together by the perpetual and prevailing power of Datalove.

seems #Egypt began targeting @TorProject website, users cross different ISP/mobile ops reporting unable to reach the site over past few hrs.

@virtadpt We want to get rid of all centralization. We believe no human shall control the cluster, this role can be transfered to an Ethereum contract

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

@virtadpt We're more interested in completely server-less p2p using the combination of Ethereum, Whisper &IPFS/SWARM

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

In order to become sustainable and truly decentralized, the cluster must migrate to these tools to eliminate the single point of failure (7)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Today, we have Ethereum for value/contracts/governance, Whisper for communication, IPFS for storage, Tor for anonymity, and many others (6)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Back when Telecomix was founded in 2011, the internet was missing the variety of advanced decentralized crypto tools we have today (5)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Sustainable maintenance of the cluster is impossible under its current centralized form of funding, communication and governance. (4)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Telecomix is an online organization that drives disorganized change, yet it relies on IRC as a central structure for self-organization (3)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

The truth is that the technologies traditionally used by Telecomix since its foundation are unsustainable and defy its core ideals (2)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Many of you must be wondering what the reasons behind @TelecomixII's current long downtime are, here's the honest explanation: (1)

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

All of our services, including our IRC, website and wiki, have been temporarily shutdown. Please be patient and sorry for the inconvenience.

We have temporarily disabled our Tor hidden service in order to fix an issue. You can still connect to https://t.co/A8cpDTPqEO through Tor.

[Telecomix v2.0 @TelecomixII]

Our IRC & web servers are both down due to an ongoing DDoS attack by an unknown actor. We'll post here as soon as things are back to normal

For all of our agents in #Brasil, we have set up a web IRC page for #TelecomixBrasil with info in Portuguese at https://t.co/PSdJGWDqhp
