@veg05 I started #Bitmessage ( #PyBitmessage ) a few months ago, but I must have forgotten to transfer the files with account info when I changed the OS on my laptop. I would be starting from scratch, so I haven't started it since. -

@lnxw48a1 Does not start due to new libssl version. As I'm on git testing branch I consider it dead. #bitmessage -

@lnxw48a1 This reminds me to start #Bitmessage to check for messages. Please report about #Tox. I do not like the GUI of PyBitmessage. It's a bad reinvention of an email client. -

#Twister does like to use CPU, that's for sure. And I didn't even discuss the installation process, which really is tougher than it should be.
But people with metered connections could be surprised at how much bandwidth it really uses, even when they are idle. (And I also agree that #Bitmessage is far less resource intensive, but even there, relaying messages happens even when you're not sending or receiving any messages yourself.)
The point I'm making isn't to criticize either one. I'm saying that we don't want people who try them out to be unpleasantly surprised that each node must perform some tasks to support the overall network. -

One thing people need to be aware of with current #P2P implementations is the tendency for individual nodes to use more bandwidth for distribution and network maintenance than actual sending and receiving for the local user. I noticed people complaining about the bandwidth consumption on both #Bitmessage and #Twister. I imagine bandwidth and storage would be issues for #ipfs users.
I don't think these are necessarily negatives, but people should be made aware when they start to participate that their node will play a part in doing the work of the building & maintaining the network.
