Digitalcoin is an open source digital currency, originally based on Bitcoin,
but now heavily modified and improved. Digitalcoin works over a distributed
peer-to-peer network to offer irreversible, low-cost, anonymous and
decentralized monetary transactions.
This is a QT frontend to the Direct Connect system. It supports
many of the DC features.
Vuze is a java bittorrent client. Vuze (formerly Azureus) offers
multiple torrent downloads, queuing/priority systems (on torrents and
files), start/stop seeding options and instant access to
numerous pieces of information about your torrents. Azureus
now features an embedded tracker easily setup and ready to use.
XNap is a pure java napster client. The XNap project is about
enhancing JNapster to include other file sharing protocols. Currently
Napster is supported for use with OpenNap servers. FastTrack
(Morpheus, Kaaza) support is available through giFT.
Gnutella support will be coming soon.
libtorrent is an open source C++ library implementing the BitTorrent
protocol, along with most popular extensions, making it suitable for
real world deployment. It is configurable to be able to fit both
servers and embedded devices.
The main goals of libtorrent are to be efficient and easy to use.
NB: this is NOT the same library as the net-p2p/libtorrent port!
Namecoin is an open source decentralized key/value registration and transfer
system based on Bitcoin technology (a decentralized cryptocurrency).
It allows you to:
* Securely register and transfer arbitrary names (keys), no possible
censorship!
* Attach values (data) to the names (currently up to 520 bytes, will be
extended)
* Trade and transact namecoins, the digital currency NMC
To register a name, you must own some namecoins (NMC, the internal
cryptocurrency used by the software).
6tunnel allows you to use services provided by IPv6 hosts with IPv4-only
applications and vice versa. It can bind to any of your IPv4 (default) or
IPv6 addresses and forward all data to IPv4 or IPv6 (default) host.
It can be used for example as an ipv6-capable IRC proxy.
The BIRD project aims to develop a fully functional dynamic IP routing daemon.
- Both IPv4 and IPv6
- Multiple routing tables
- BGP
- RIP
- OSPF
- Static routes
- IPv6 Router Advertisements
- Inter-table protocol
- Command-line interface
- Soft reconfiguration
- Powerful language for route filtering
Service discovery on a local network -- this means that you can plug your
laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people
who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared.
This kind of technology is already found in MacOS X (branded 'Rendezvous',
'Bonjour' and sometimes 'ZeroConf') and is very convenient.
