Journal throwaway18's Journal: Nullsoft Waste, slashdot test network 20

I'd like to play with Waste and see how well it works with a group of people spread across the internet. Would anyone like to form
a waste network of random slashdotters?
I'm busy now so this will probably not start rolling until the
coming weekend.

Leave a message in my slashdot journal or use my current
throwaway email address zaphodbond@yahoo.com

I suspect the thing we need most is someone with a static
ip or domain name to announce thier public key and leave
waste running continuously for a few days.

I'm not using a network name in waste.

    I had set the force-ip setting, assuming it was it set the ip address
    that is annouced to others. Gnutella clients have somthing like that
    because they have poor NAT support. After further reading it
    seems that the waste force-ip option is for machines with more than
    one ip address in cases where you don't want to listen on all interfaces
    eg making a waste client on a machine with an internet connection
    only accessable from it's LAN.

  • I'v changed the port my node is on, there seems to be a bug that affets port numbers above 32767.
  • Presumably AOL has demanded that the software be witdrawn. The waste webpages have been mirrored at http://www.dhorrocks2003.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ [blueyonder.co.uk] This has the vital piece of information; for two waste node to connect both clients have to have the other clients public key.

    This means that if you want to connect to my waste node you have to give me your public key as well as importing mine.

    For my waste public key and connection details see here http://slashdot.org/~throwaway18/journal/34874 [slashdot.org]

    • Added, things have gone quiet on the waste network at the moment, probably due to the time of day in the US and Europe.

      My conclution at the moment is that with moderatly clueful users Nullsoft Waste works well for the intended userbase of groups of up to 50. There is plenty of areas that need polish but it's pretty good for a first release.

      The search command is /search in a chat window.

      It lacks a few feature that the circle has, such as being able to leave a message for someone who is offline but the cir

  • I'd like to toy with this.. but i can see noone else out there.. is there some nat settings I havn't thought of?

  • Ok a quick summary.

    I'v got about 750 unique public keys. A lot of people have tried it out.
    Unsurprisingly a lot of people have tried it out for a bit and then gone.
    The network starts having trouble around 120 users with people appearing and dissapering in the chat room.

    For the intended userbase of small closed groups it works reasonably.
    There is an improved windows client called wasted out.
