P2P Foundation: The Foundation for Peer to Peer Alternatives is an organization with the aim of studying the impact of peer to peer technology and thought on society. It was founded by Michel Bauwens, James Burke and Brice Le Blévennec.[1]
The P2P Foundation is a registered institute founded in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its local registered name is: Stichting Peer to Peer Alternatives, dossier nr: 34264847.[2]
It won the Golden Nica Award for "The Next Idea" 2011[3] and for "Digital Communities" in 2016.[4]
Nakamoto controversy[edit]
Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, released one of the first papers describing bitcoin on the p2p website.[5] When Newsweek ran an article claiming Nakamoto is Dorian S. Nakamoto from Temple City, California, Nakamoto's user profile posted that he was not Dorian.[5][6] The p2p foundation verified that the account was the same account that posted one of the first papers describing bitcoin.[5][7] On September 2014, Nakamoto's p2p account was allegedly hacked and a post was made to his account that said his information was being sold on Darknet.[8]
Chokepoint Project[edit]
The Chokepoint project seeks to create a live visual map of the internet that identifies points of Internet access vulnerability, and those who control them. This map would potentially allow people to identify the degree and precise location of internet outages. Much of the data used for the mapping is supplied by volunteers.[9] The Chokepoint project also works to dispel the assumption that the internet is a decentralized medium that is not subject to government power.[10] The Chokepoint project was awarded the Prix Arts Electronica in May 2011 in the Next Idea category.[11]
