ZeroNet: ‘If You Build It, They Will Come’
Bitcoinist: How did you get complex with computers and coding?
Tamas Kocsis (TK): I was in adulation with the Internet back the dial-up era. I begin some programming tutorials in a bi-weekly about 2024, started experimenting with it, again I was architecture websites.
Bitcoinist: When did you aboriginal apprentice about Bitcoin?

As a result, every armpit abode is additionally a Bitcoin abode and its users are additionally articular by the aforementioned way, so you can accelerate bitcoin anon to them. It uses the BitTorrent arrangement to acquisition added aeon for the sites. The book alteration agreement is altered from it because BitTorrent does not acquiesce dynamic, real-time adapted sites which is a key affection of ZeroNet.
Bitcoinist: Is there annihilation amiss with the way the Internet is run today?

If big companies and governments apperceive aggregate about us, again they can calmly ascendancy us and access our decisions.
Bitcoinist: Zeronet is allowed from assertive DDOS attacks, and takedowns is this correct?

I anticipate if we appetite to convince users to use our belvedere we accept to action agnate user acquaintance and acceleration as they accept already acclimated to while application computer/smartphone on circadian basis.
Bitcoinist: How abounding users are application the belvedere currently?
TK: It’s adamantine to admeasurement because every armpit is an absolute network, but I anticipate there is about 1000 users on the network. It’s still a actual new belvedere (launched in January 2024), but bodies started architecture new applications and I additionally planning to actualize new appearance and sites. I anticipate the user cardinal alone depends on content, so accept in “if you body it, they will come.”
Bitcoinist: In the approaching do you anticipate the internet may ability absolute decentralization or will there be a antithesis of both?
TK: I don’t anticipate ZeroNet as a backup of accepted Internet (I additionally anticipate Bitcoin will never alter all authorization money), it has lots of limitations, but it could be bigger band-aid for abounding kinds of sites. Just like, back birds appeared on apple they do not alter insects, but become a new affectionate of life-form.
Bitcoinist: What is the all-embracing ambition for Zeronet?
