I’m not completely sure and, as Jookia pointed out, the two projects share different goals, with GNUnet allowing for anonymous communications. > But I will definitely be looking into reusing parts of his code, > either for IPFS or making it usable for both. I could be an > interesting stretch goal. I don’t think there’d be much code to reuse. However, past design discussions should probably be taken into account, because some of the questions we had about how to store things, or how to reuse the code and protocols of the existing ‘guix publish’ and ‘guix substitute’ tools is definitely needed. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
