Comments and Reviews
GNUnet is a project which aims to rebuild the internet on concepts that were not thought about when the internet was first conceived. As such, its scope is big. It has many parts and interacts with other GNU projects such as GNU Taler. I hope some day it becomes more mature and even mainstream!
Its goals and ways to achieve those seem to be the way to go.
The biggest change, cryptographic primitives: "GNUnet used RSA 2048 since its inception in 2001, but as of GNUnet 0.10.0, we are powered by Curve25519". This change "breaks backwards compatibility entirely".
