Zeronet

Zeronet is a browser for a decentralized network built on BitTorrent and Bitcoin, and run over Tor for privacy. Every Zeronet site address is a Bitcoin public key, so visitors can send bitcoin directly to the owner. It is essentially a darknet, or another version of Tor hidden services.

Identity

Accounts are essentially Bitcoin wallets. The owner of a site signs the files with the private key, and the public key is the site address.

Networking/Message passing

Zeronet uses the BitTorrent network to find peers that are seeding the site to download the site content from.
