@xj9 @maiyannah @archaeme @ronflaix yes absolutely. I am pretty convinced that although client/server is the current paradigm longer term things will move to fully p2p. It's the only way to scale to universal proportions. With the Freedombone mesh I think I made a rough prototype for what the future internet might be. Everything based on a DHT with replicated data.

@maiyannah @xj9 @archaeme @ronflaix The main problem is not so much difficulty as a combination of inertia and commercial interests. It's easy to see how client/server with its bottlenecks and points of control serves commercial interests far better than p2p. Hence I think it's very unlikely that the well known companies will enthusiastically adopt a distributed intern…
