rcakebread··on Show HN: Freenet, a peer-to-peer platform for decentralized apps
I wrote a web browser for Freenet called Snarfzilla. I guess it may have been the first web browser for "the dark web". [1]

I integrated "Fair Tunes", which tried to pay musicians for mp3 files, long before any label was selling mp3's.

(Edit: I just remembered Freshmeat automatically rejecting Snarfzilla because they were so sick of projects ending in *zilla. The owner thought it was cool and added it after I emailed. No idea why I used 'snarf'. I've never said it out loud.)

You paid to patent this, whatever it is. How about more than two sentences to see what you're charging people for. I can't tell from the website's "About" page.

Edit: Even the github link is a 404, I give up.
