This is a little project I'm working on, incase you haven't seen our programs (Rednet Explorer…), we are currently hiring.

Our goal is to make the best rednet Internet in minecraft. If you would like to help, post your IGN here. If you want to host a server, post your IGN and the IP: Got a 1.2.5 server…

im currently working on a DNS server network, right now i can send a simple message to a specific computer over a network of servers, it uses a network adress by using this ip adress type thing (dns database,town master controller,sub town server,computer id) requests for network ids are sent to the nearest dns database
IGN is in my sig, no caps

Now just to assure you. There is 2 ways to do this!
Centralized and decentralized are your options
Centralized means you have a master server. This is easier to achieve. So it registers each new client and server.
Decentralized. Is no central server. Can be difficult but provides A more Internet like system!

Isn't the internet centralized nowadays?
Endusers connect to ISP's which connect to others.

So in theory, the internet is more centralized.

However, if you want to remove the ISP, which just makes money, then yes, the Internet is decentralized.

The problem is, that's not the case…

the ISPs maintain the DNS servers and the cables connecting it to you
although there are things like opendns that arent maintained by ISPs
the only thing really centralized about the internet is the DNS servers

It's interesting. The past two or three days i've been building a "decentralized" internet system in my game. The code is almost ready for actual constant connection use (the protocol is similar to TCP in that it keeps people connected). Next i'm building a more HTTP like protocol where a request is made, data is sent, and the connection then terminated. Computers are connected via routers that use the RP (rednet protocol; my fancy rename of IP) of the computer you're trying to connect to to determine where to send the message to next. If i add in a few security features, it will be possible to separate a leg of connections into its own impenetrable network. Oh and also one of the first programs i'm planning on writing for this internet is going to be a DNS server program so that users and programmers can use URLs if they've got a DNS server configured.

I'd like to help.

I know a bit of lua, but I'm still learning.

Also, a neat idea:
What if we could faciliate inter-server rednet internet? I can see how it would work:

1. A computer uses http.post() to send a message to a central server (separate from minecraft)
2. The central server logs the IP of the sending server, the ID of the sending computer, the IP/ID of the recieving server/computer (respectively), and the message and stores it all in a database.
3. The recieving computer can send a command to the server to list all incoming messages, and can send another command to retrieve a specific one.

I'm trying to write it in PHP, but I don't know any PHP. I'm literally learning only that which I need to make this happen.

i am also new to lua programming,still learning too……..
also have a idea:
how about create something like a Internet encryption protocol or garbage message filter to make our rednet more safety
[so,while we are using LAN,the secret communication is unable to snoop,while we are using wireless net,the spamming message will not able to disturb the network]
PS:sorry for my english

Interesting project, and people have done similar to this. Will you charge for the internet? (On a server i played on you would have to pay 1 diamond per irl hour to have access). Also what about security? As far as I've seen all internet projects have had a major hole in them which i could access the main computer and basically kill the internet. Interesting project, i would love to see how it ends up. :)/>/>

I would like to help, but I'm using my friends account right now. I'll let you know when I have my own account. Good luck though. I'm actually working on my own "Internet" system in minecraft right now too.
