I found 'minder' in the ports which seems to say that's what it does, but I can't find documentation on how to use it; the website: http://www.alhem.net/project/minder/ is not helpful. Anyone? On the other hand, if I write my own I can then expand it to do other p2p things, like synchronize file directories, chat, messages, remote program activation, et cetera. I looked a bit at: bitmessage - current retroshare - current kenosis - not current (last news: 2005) Kademlia - various dox - unknown opendchub - current microdc2 - ^^^^^ but it's hard to know how useful these are without trying them all, and I'm hoping people here can guide me. Ultimately, I'm interested in secure, encrypted p2p operations starting with basic messaging, which will run on Windows-something, Mac, and Linux (BSD) OS's. TIA, Walter
