BitBlinder

This is most of the source to the BitBlinder project. The goal was to allow people to communicate or share information in any form online anonymously with ease and quickly. To meet this end, it employed a novel micropayment system on top of a slightly modified Tor network. It is posted in the hope that someone may receive benefit from the work we did, though it is no longer maintained in any way and no BitBlinder network exists to the best of my knowledge. You will notice that private keys exist in places ( for the authority servers) though some may be missing in others. The BitBlinder network used a slightly modified Tor client which can be found in innomitor; this client is now dated. A highly modified version of the old BitTorrent Mainline is also included as well as an old portable FireFox. I apologize in advance for the bad code that we wrote and the bad code that we never fixed (read: Mainline). If you really want to see the whole thing go, you would need to: 1. set up your own authority servers, 2. compile an innomitor and put it on your system path. 3. Set up a BankServer. 4. Make the client run if it does not. I do not expect anyone to do this :) A final note: due to the nature of the software, we ran our own svn repo. We had a backup, but we used hotcopy with whatever version of svnserve existed on Ubuntu 9.10? two years ago. Remounting the repo was an exercise in frustration, so I instead used a maybe up to date checkout for the client (perhaps the last build we ever did, though perhaps not). Good luck!
