What's to keep them from being shut down the same way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Because it's completely decentralized and there is no centralized server to shut down. Absolutely everything runs over the tor network. The only thing that needs to happen is that there needs to be a number of seed nodes in different countries. Once there is enough of those, the network can literally never be taken down. Well, without shutting off the whole internet, that is.

Also looks like the community has chosen Simplex for instant messaging.

Great to see it being used this way.

Exactly. Use these decentralized technologies in the best way possible.

No but they can shut down the arbitrator. And any people, websites, or companies involved.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's not one arbitrator. There's multiple arbitrators across the world. All running over the tor network. So you have to find them all first. That would be easy enough to defeat by just purposely having some arbitrators in countries without extradition treaties such as Iran.

Most hackers don't get caught by leaving a digital trace. It's usually something they do or say accidentally or they become overconfident.

Oh, absolutely. But even if you can find them, if there's no way you can get them, then it's pointless.
