Comment Re:Prices (Score 1) 108

Even with enterprise level Samsung drives, the cost per drive is almost half that! Just crazy. And the only version that ssd's a make difference for are very underpowered for what you would have to pay for the ssds. It's a complete joke. I have 6 8tb evos in my ds620+slim and it cost nearly half that as well. Just terrible decision for a company who can be replaced. Their spinning hdds are somewhat more reasonable but I have specific brands I like and that they don't use(I've had too many seagates go bad on me early).

Big Adobe energy here without the monopoly to really work for them.

Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.

Not quite sure how reality will go for this project at least based on comments here so far

Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.

Of course, the irony of using Youtube and Google Docs for the presentation kind of hurts.

Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.

I remember a few years back thinking how the promise of Freenet was so easy to achieve today between low power computers, cheap storage, and bandwidth... yet we are stuck with what we have.

I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing :)
