Your information resides on your PC, and is always "uploading" to those who want it. For security, you could implement public/private keys -- your friends send you their public keys and that's how they are authenticated. The server that hosts the tracker could also be responsible for authentication. That way if someone requests your information, your bandwidth doesn't get touched unless the server hosting the tracker allows the other client to connect.</p> Instead of having a central repository of information, what if it worked like a P2P (torrent) application?

I am a little concerned about privacy though. The idea of a central server hosting all the sensitive data of all users using this system is questionable, considering the open approach. I can't think of a decentralized solution right away but i would be interested what you have to say about this. Just think about the value of the database if this thing works. Names, adresses and interests. I really think, a central server hosting all those info could be quite a concern. I gonna keep a look at the development, because i think, it's a pretty interesting project. I also would be able to contribute a client, because i am a java developer (especially eclipse rcp). Keep me updated. ^^</p> Sounds like an interesting idea. I am a little concerned about privacy though.
