Encrypted crap. Blah.
It's not required as long as you don't expect Usenet to be an archive (hint: it's not).

Edit: Why not chase the premise to its logical (read: absurb) conclusion and run your indexer as a tor hidden service?

Well... maybe maybe not.
As we're passing the 5 year point on most usenet server retention, I decided to NZBcc a whole bunch of stuff I posted in the Aug-Dec 2008 time frame, 'just fer fun'.
All still there. Even on Astraweb. Near zero errors and extremely well within the parity recovery (like 5% of the 10% pars posted needed to rebuild at WORST; for those who can't do arithmetic in their heads, that's .5% of the pars used to recover). Much of it is still pristine.
This includes a fair number of things that have been widely reported as 'DMCA'd' in the past few months. You know what I'm talking about, those postings labeled 'take.me.down.take.me.down.right.now' and the like. Mine aren't so labeled, and use what I term 'open labeling' and 'open encryption'. i.e., easy to decipher and decrypt. No crap pay sites needed. I do this to try and keep my mind active.
I store everything on 'very large networked arrays' and in shuttling things around to new storage a few months back, I must have missed some things. As I've also stored/shared things in the usenet 'cloud', I easily retrieved them.
So, as long as these huge, commercial servers, stay on the planet and my connection stays live and 'affordable', it's an archive. If some folks want to be stupid, it's not... for them.

An archive that you don't control and has no retention SLA perhaps. Any provider could alter their retention 'promise' at any time or remove any file, at their sole discretion, at any time. That doesn't fit my definition of an "archive".
Nevertheless I acknowledge the personal experience you've shared with us on a few occasions. But this time I'll bite; how about you share an NZB of just one of these infamous files you've uploaded that is a) reasonably old and b) a DMCA target and c) only mildly obfuscated?
I really want to believe you have a free, provider independent solution that works for the masses but I'm not so sure.

And if we were talking about just one 'plant' out there in that cloud, I'd fully agree. But we're not. A goodly dozen independent servers, on multiple continents. All interconnected with so many fiber links (I helped design, build, and operate a fair number of them over 20 years) that only something like a comet collision will take it all down.
As far as my 'schema', if you are actually scanning newsgroups, you'll easily find them.. If you're relying on these private for-pay sites, probably not. But they are easily retrievable/findable using any of the open search engines out there/

I'm truly surprised that the staff at the mental institution allow you unsupervised internet privileges.

Oh look out everyone! Someone is a tough guy on the internet! Is there a need for insults?
Re: What is IndexOne - An encrypted usenet indexing site?
1.I'm pretty sure it's impossible to be tough on the internet.Actually I think the words "internet" and "tough" are mutually exclusive or something.
2. No need for insults if you believe that people should just scurry into holes like rats as opposed to being willing to suffer the possible consequences of their actions.Next rodent question. :)

I don't know what your problem is or what the above is supposed to mean if anything.
I asked nicely for my email to be taken down since i have not posted it, i have nothing to do with this site and i have nothing to do with the reddit post that is linked. These where done to troll me and i do not want it to be on this forum. It's a simple request, there is nothing of value in this thread and it would not harm anyone to just remove it.
Happy Holidays

Apparently some admin was here deleting posts, i still don't understand why you refuse to help me and ignore me, please contact me about this matter, i would really appreciate your help.
Re: What is IndexOne - An encrypted usenet indexing site?
Not much gets deleted here for content unless it's boring. :idunno: You could try contacting the individual who posted your email address and ask him to edit the post. You should have PM privileges soon.
Judging from his post history, he seems like he was just trying to help people in the NZB section. I doubt he meant anything malicious.
Re: What is IndexOne - An encrypted usenet indexing site?
I deleted his E Mail address because I don't think it's important to the thread. It's still on Reddit if anybody cares.

Thank you kind sir. I really appreciate it. Like i said, i have no idea why someone posted this on reddit and here, i get mails all the time that are encrypted and i have no idea how to read them. I just want the spam to stop. Unfortunately reddit does not delete anything and the user that posted this was deleted :angry:
Have a great new Year!
