This is a post from a reddit user. Hope it helps some of you. 1) Your node. This is 5 symbols. Pretty simple stuff. Example, Square Circle Diamond Triangle Square, or, SCDTS. 2) Your "information forwarding protocol". This is how you find the "next in line" (who to forward your information to, get it!?). There are two options. An image with the symbols and clockwise arrows or counter clockwise arrows in one of 5 locations (the image always has the symbols the same), or 12345 -> reordered numbers. If you imagine this as a "filter" you apply to your node it's simple. Let's use my previous example node, SCDTS. Let's say the image is counter-clockwise arrows in the 2nd position. This means the Circle in the second position changes to a square. So the "next in line" is SSDTS. 3) Processing key. This is kind of a confusing part because I'm not 100% on how this type of crypto works, but from my understanding we will combine all 8 of these to form a full "key" used to decrypt each wall of text correctly. I might not be 100% correct here, but that won't become apparent until we have all the data. 4) Processing Initialization Vector. This is important for your wall of text only, but you'll need it for each wall of text among the 8 of you who link up. So, you find a "chain" of people who link up. There's no saying you ONLY need 8, you might need as many as 15 to ensure you get a "complete" chain of 8 (because let's say you get 8 people together, the first seven might be the final 7 of the previous chain, with the last guy being the start of a new one, so then you'd need 7 more to finish the chain.) The way you link up is by finding the person who's original Node matches the node you'd get after applying your forwarding protocol to yours. As I said, I'm pretty sure the concept here is figured out. The issue is we require a huge blob of data and, afaik, nothing's set up right now.
