In almost all time zones, August 20th has passed, and this means Onionket 5 has officially ended. Thank you very much to all participants. An after report video with a summary of the event will be produced in the near future, so look forward to that. Thank you again! = = = ほぼ全てのタイムゾーンに、8月20日が過ぎました。つまり、オニオンケット5は終了しました。参加してくれた方にありがとうございます。今後にイベントの結果に関する事後動画を作る予定なので、楽しみにして下さい。
I made an executive decision to blur out tits and porn to avoid friction. Odysee is a known element, and if they wouldn't take channels down yet, they will at some point.
UPDATE: For anybody interested in Waifuism Life's circle but was unable to view it, the catalog has been updated with a new, working address. Be sure to check them out:
WAIFUISM LIFE 3d and naive art made on the southern hemisphere.
@DarkMahesvara On at least two occasions, flatpak onionshare terminated with some kind of authentication error and wouldn't run. Not everybody is affected, it seems, but better safe than sorry.
Notice to all Onionket participants. If you're using the OnionShare Flatpak on Linux, a problem seems to exist with that package that interferes with successfully loading onion sites. It is recommended to install a run OnionShare via a different method.
Be warned, this may force you to create a new onion address. If this occurs, please contact Onionket Staff as soon as possible so we can update the catalog.
Onionket 5 starts tomorrow! Each circle is on their own schedule, but once your calendar reads the 19th, start checking the catalog and the circles should be online soon enough.
The Onionket 5 Official Livestream is tomorrow, from 2pm to 4pm and again from 9pm to 11pm JST. Come check out the circles, chat with participants and other circles, and support the artists if you can. Starting tomorrow, let's say NO to censorship.
@mister_monster Given the Monero community is made up of individuals, I'm sure each one of them will be happy to make up their own minds about how relevant this is or is not. But if the Monero Town administration asks us not to post here, we'll happily respect their wishes.
Our personal feelings are that Monero is the best choice of privacy-respecting online digital currency, and we encourage its use as part of the event. The Onionket Mitra, which factors into the event, is also set up to use Monero exclusively for monthly subscriptions... we are essentially an XMR powered Patreon for our participants. I imagine that would be of relevance to the Monero Community as well:
With regard to your other implications, users of privacy software are no strangers to being accused of drug-dealing, pedophilia, and worse. As such, no offense is taken. Just to be clear, though, Onionket has a set of rules for all participants which are clearly posted on our About page:
We have neither the ability nor the inclination to police the lives of participants outside our event, but we make a good faith effort to screen all participating content, and exclude anything that falls outside of said rules. If we find any clear violation of individuals' rights in the process, we would forward it to any relevant authorities and make this fact very clear. After 5 events, this has never become necessary.
Thank you for sharing your views in this matter, however.
The 5th Onion Comic Market (or "Onionket") is coming up this weekend, and the event catalog is available for everybody to browse now. Over a dozen artists, writers, coders, and more share their work with the world, free from the fear of censorship.
Onionket is a decentralized, censorship-resistant online doujin/art festival hosted exclusively in the Dark Web. Onionket gives artists a SIMPLE, FREE, and CENSORSHIP-RESISTANT way to distribute their work. Using an open-source program called "OnionShare", each artist creates and hosts their own simple .onion website on the Tor network. Onionket collects and publishes a catalog of these links, allowing others to browse and access them.
Each site is totally under the artist's control, making censorship impossible. And being on the Tor network means heightened privacy for fans and artists alike. Many artists also have support links and wallet addresses for Monero and other cryptocurrencies, should any followers feel like supporting their work.
There's also the official Onionket 5 Livestream, hosted on PeerTube on Saturday, August 19th, from 2pm to 4pm, and again from 9pm to 11pm JST. Chat with circle owners and other participants will be available in the live window, as well as an OnionShare-powered Tor chatroom, a Session Closed Group, and an XMPP chatroom over Tor provided by our friends at Libreshack
The Onionket 5 catalog is now available on our main site, as well as mirrors on a noJavaScript page, a Tor onion site, and an i2p eepsite. Check out the circles, and if you see something you like, feel free to visit over the two days of the event.
Join Onionket, and together we can say NO to censorship
