Brian Picciano b35a3d6574 First public commit 
There has been over 1 year of commit history leading up to this point,
but almost all of that has had some kind network configuration or
secrets built into the code. As of today all of that has been removed,
and the codebase can finally be published!

I am keeping a private copy of the previous commit history, though it's
unclear if it will ever be able to be published.

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.
