Arti: A Tor Implementation in Rust | |
medo-bear wrote 10 hours 10 min ago: | |
I dont understand why my other comment was flagged. The Tor Project | |
does not reccomend using Arti just yet. If you think that is outdated | |
see the following article published on 04.03.24, which also states the | |
following | |
There are still some rough edges and missing security features, so | |
we don't (yet) recommend Arti onion services for production use, or for | |
any purpose that requires privacy. | |

Second paragraph of linked page already states: "Until Arti is more | |
mature, we recommend it for experimental use only." | |
It is one of five sentences on the page - not some hidden message. | |
Not sure what your point is? The flagged comment stated that it is | |
"not real project". `Not finished` and `not real` are two different | |
things. | |

Point is that it is a matter of responsibility to state something | |
that might affect safety of people. I dont understand why this | |
reaction. | |

My comment said none of those things. | |

Re: the flagged comment about Arti not being a real project | |
It is a real project and it works well. I've been building some stuff | |
on top of it in my free time and it's generally stable. There are a few | |
footguns in their API (namely the DataStream not flushing writes | |
automatically) but they're actively working on everything. | |
fullspectrumdev wrote 7 hours 53 min ago: | |
Iâd be genuinely interested in seeing what people are building on | |
top of this. | |
Especially to see some concrete code examples, as I find those easier | |
to learn from than the current state of the docs. Especially with | |
regard to footguns mentioned! | |
Iâve had a few ideas, mostly porting older projects I built in | |
Python using the Stem library. I feel like Arti is going to be much | |
cleaner for embedding in applications than having to also bundle the | |
correct Tor binary⦠manage running it as a subprocess⦠etc | |

So given the US fedâs new insane rules about what a money transmitter | |
is, how can anyone US-adjacent feel safe contributing? | |
Like the recent S wallet people the minute your software is used for | |
anything illegal you risk extradition. | |

I'm not up to date - do you have a reference? | |

Devs of Bitcoin wallet enabling anonymous payments, Samourai, were | |
arrested because their software was presumably used for money | |
laundering. | |
cassonmars wrote 14 hours 44 min ago: | |
Tor isn't a money transmitter, but also, they were indicted more for | |
the fact they actively sought out sanctioned individuals in | |
marketing/dev outreach | |

Shoutout to the Zcash Foundation for funding a large portion of | |
Artiâs development. | |

Been a number of examples of cryptobros funding unrelated projects | |
for the positive PR. Is there a word for it yet? 'FOSSwashing'? | |
kaliqt wrote 3 hours 53 min ago: | |
Most cryptobros are very pro open source and pro privacy, it's the | |
whole reason they're trying to amass resources in crypto, to make | |
it stronger and also to direct others to build up more resilient | |
systems. | |
BoingBoomTschak wrote 5 hours 49 min ago: | |
As much as I dislike cryptocurrency, you're being unfair here. Some | |
people of that crowd have privacy as central principle, Tor is then | |
more than clearly related. | |
taxmeifyoucan wrote 5 hours 57 min ago: | |
Do you have any insight into crypto ecosystem or just troll here? | |
First of all, zcash is focused on private payments and Tor helps | |
its users to stay anonymous while using third party wallets, etc. | |
It's their dependency and relevant privacy project so they decide | |
to support it. But this is nothing new, crypto ecosystem has been | |
contributing to Tor for a decade, starting in Silk Road era. Many | |
privacy related project have anon contributors only funded in | |
crypto. It's literally FOSS native payment method. | |
These days, public goods funding of free and open software is one | |
of the most active areas in crypto scene. They activate individual | |
donors and organizations/DAOs to donate towards impactful | |
non-profit projects. Quadratic funding platforms like Gitcoin are | |
used to funnel millions of dollars to FOSS. | |

Itâs almost as bad as the number of HN commenters posting | |
negatively about crypto without bothering to check if the criticism | |
is accurate. | |

The name is an acronym for "A Rust Tor Implementation" [1] | |

Interesting. My first thought was this was something to connect with | |
the hindi word aarti. | |

Cool! Also an opportunity missed: Arti Rust Tor Implementation | |

Please, no more recursive backronyms. Or maybe I just have a sour | |
taste of them because of some of more lamentable choices of other | |
projects.... | |
