Re:FreePinion – Comments on the page you are viewing, stored on Freenet on Monday September 21, 2026 @03:49PM (#49792419)
FreePinion is a Chrome/Brave side panel.

The page you are on gets a public thread.

Each canonical URL is its own Freenet contract. There is no FreePinion server, and we do not receive the comments.

You need Freenet running on this computer (http://127.0.0.1:7509/). Reading does not need an identity.

A new post costs about a second of proof-of-work on your machine, or a Freenet Ghost Key stamp. That work does not run while you only read. Edits and deletes skip it.

Mute and Trust stay on this browser.

Ban is signed onto that page’s contract. An optional Global Board lists pages people chose to share (URL, fingerprint, work or Ghost Key amount, message hash — not the text).

FreePinion is not affiliated with Freenet. The extension is free. A Ghost Key donation goes to Freenet, not to this project.

If your node is off, an optional public gateway (try.freenet.org) can load Chat and the Board as a snapshot (Refresh to reload). You cannot post through it.

Most pages will be empty until someone with a node writes there.

You can find now some test messages on "github.com".

The github isn't updated currently, I've also asked the dev about the update of the source code

Maybe there is an issue with the dns.

Those are the current links to download

It isn't possible, but you can choose which subs where you want to subscribe.

There will be a moderated list of subs (maintained by the main developer), but users will be free to try to find an join even the most controversial ones.

It isn't a "democracy", votes have a different weight based on the past participation on the specific community sub.

Maybe you should refresh your browser cache.

Yep, Wire is better even just because of this possibility, but even this project is interesting :)

Re:Bitcoin Vending Machine on Monday July 16, 2012 @10:50AM (#4250923)
You can instant accept any bitcoin value that is lower to the investment to do the 51% attack or similar. Example: no one is going to make a 51% attack to steal only 10 bitcoin from a vending machine.

Simply put a limit, or just say to the user that any amount of bitcoin over X will need Y time to get verified. Anything lower that X amount will be instantly processed.
