Entropy (anonymous data store)

Software

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Entropy was a decentralized, peer-to-peer communication network designed to be resistant to censorship, much like Freenet. Entropy was an anonymous data store written in the C programming language. It pooled the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member computers to allowed users to anonymously publish or retrieve information of all kinds. The name "Entropy" was a backronym for "Emerging Network To Reduce Orwellian Potency Yield," referring to George Orwell's famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four and its totalitarian Thought Police enslaving people by controlling their information. Entropy was designed to be compatible with the similar Freenet system. As such, any Freenet client could be configured to run on the Entropy network. However, Entropy and Freenet data stores are not compatible with each other and therefore do not share data. Entropy featured a news interface, for reading and posting on the latest frost message boards from within the client.
