# Design Principles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following points form the basis for all design decisions made within the
|
||
|
|
cryptic-net project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The UX is aggressively optimized to eliminate manual intervention by users.
|
||
|
|
All other concerns are secondary. The concept of "UX" extends beyond GUI
|
||
|
|
interfaces, and encompasses all interactions of any sort with a cryptic-net
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* All resources within a cryptic-net are expected to be hosted on hardware owned
|
||
|
|
by community members, for example home media servers or gaming rigs. Thus, a
|
||
|
|
cryptic-net is fully autonomous.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Hardware resources are expected to be heterogenous and geographically
|
||
|
|
dispersed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is expected that a single host might be a part of multiple, independent
|
||
|
|
cryptic-net networks. These should not conflict with each other, nor share
|
||
|
|
resources.
