> needs to be some servers available to facilitate the holepunching Not needed. Other phones can help you determine connectable ports. You can create a phone-to-phone overlay and even puncture carrier-grade NATs. See our birthday paradox attack and initial dozen SIM cards measurements: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.04658 Older university project, similar to Holepunch with more dev docs: github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp/

Yes, not many people measured NAT boxes at scale. "UDP NAT and Firewall Puncturing in the Wild" [1] this scientific article from our lab might be helpful. We also have UDP puncturing also working in a 3G or wifi setting with Android-to-Android mode, see "Kotlin-IPv8" link in here: https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp [1] https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01597969/document

Rebuttal from responsible professor deploying such systems: - Do you trust your bank? (to never get hacked, go bankrupt, etc.) - Do you trust Big Tech to run the global financial system? (search: "Google Cloud for banking" or read "Cloud Computing in Banking" by capgemini). - Do you trust the government with critical infrastructure? Central bank digital currency could indeed be evil. The way Delft University is building it gives more power to the people. Here in Europe the digital Euro is coming. We've done some open source Internet-deployment test, with live connection to the IBAN system[1]. [1] https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp#digital-euro

Taproot with MAST enables a DAO on Bitcoin. See the full implementation here by Delft University of Technology scientists and students. [1] Security needs work, functionality works. (disclaimer, I'm the responsibile professor) [1] https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp#luxury-commun...

The related trustchain project has been posted here before and the one interesting thing I learned from it was the NAT punching technique to build an p2p network overlaying a exisiting network, IPv8 they call it. I don't know where it goes from there or how or why we need this blockchain without a POW. Don't get me wrong, I don't like POW, but if you remove it you might as well remove the blockchain too. Just normal boring web stuff. Say you want to build a clubhouse clone using this technology, it's all the rage, how would this practically work for things like onboarding, scaling rooms up to ten thousands of users, on a mobile phone network, who will pay the content creators, hell who will pay the developers, and what tradeoffs does this involve as nothing is for free. Given this is it even the best way to spend or resource, dunno aren't

Hopefully you still see this late reaction by IPv8/Tribler team. There is now Kotlin code, Android Trustchain app and expired IETF draft. On top of the pretentiously named IPv8 overlay, we now have tamper-proof accounting and trust function operational. Took a mere 20 years of my life:-) [1] https://github.com/Tribler/kotlin-ipv8/ [2] https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp [3] https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pouwelse-trustchain-01.html [4] https://dicg2020.github.io/papers/devos.pdf

Currently the only route is to: request permission from a Central Bank in Eurozone, download the Gateway code, and finally issue your own coins. (we got approval from our central bank) Docs: https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp
