livecode.JPG I think those who pledge and pay up front are supposed to be rewarded. Looks like, if I pay $999 now, I get a 1 year Commercial license. Does this mean the regular price for the HTML5 Commercial license will be at least $999? If the total amount you're raising is supposed to cover the ...

I was thinking about the whole mySQL directory idea. MySQL, permissions, and database functions are complicated and could easily take many days to do in a way that retains the resiliency of p2p networks. If it could even be done at all. On the other hand, going out to the internet to get an IP addre...

Okay-- It sounds like having a directory server is the best solution. One of the main selling points of p2p is that the network can't be taken down by blocking or shutting off the server. To maintain this resiliency of p2p networks, I have a suggestion, which I think would be possible. Once a hostin...

But if both a hybrid approach and requiring setting up port forwarding were acceptable, the bigger question remains: What exactly do we want to do with this network? The hybrid approach is fine. And I'm all on board with experimenting. But if each user has to modify their router settings, this woul...

It would certainly be more convenient to the end-user if we could avoid having to require them to allow forwarding the relevant port in their router settings, but given the apparent number of apps that ask this of users it doesn't appear too onerous. Requiring a user to go into their router setting...

Thanks Richard-- But looking at that function to get the MAC address, it does so by doing a shell statement. Usually I try to avoid all shell statements because, apps that include these are often flagged by virus protection software as dangerous. Let me ask you this. When setting up a connection bet...

Okay-- back from dinner. I think we've established that a direct connection is certainly possible, with the correct IP:mac address. Next, to make this stack truly effective, there are two more BIG problems we might discuss. 1-In order for 1000+ clients to be able to exchange information back and for...

Yes, it seems I need another coffee, because if both peers already have each other's IP address, what more do they need to communicate with each other? I think you need more than just the IP address, as all machines using the same router have the same IP Address. http://whatismyipaddress.com/ Mabe ...

I am always faced with the choice" 1- write code that is most efficient, OR write code that is easy to understand. 95% of the time saving a 1/4 second is not a concern. So, I'd dump all the values into a single variable with a carriage return. Then do a sort. And then finally, as I'm rebuilding the ...

Something else to consider, if you just want to see how many people are using your app, and can forgo the username password control over whether the app runs or or not, I have an idea for you. There are all these hit counter services out there. They provide a snippet of html code that you put into y...

Wow-- thanks guys-- Potential Problem The point where I got stuck was getting it to connect through the internet, with an IP address. Can be solved I managed to get p2p working with livecode way back then, between 2 machines - both with local ip addresses behind routers. Bigger Problem The big kludg...

Actually this isn't even the project I'm working on right now. I saw that post about TOR and when I went to reply, noticed my peer-to-peer comments had nothing to do with TOR, so I went ahead and started new thread. Okay, so I just dug out that old code where I was trying to combine both client and ...

"Typically required fof client-to-client networking appliations"

Thanks for pointing this. So, this means that my goal of creating a peer to peer, client to client, app in LiveCode is currently not feasible??

Very intriguing topic!

So... the big question... does livecode have some way for one app (exe) communicate with another?

Visual Basic had something called DDE: dynamic data exchange, specifically for this purpose.
