i cant create zeroid

caryoscelus commented 1 year ago

zeroid is a centralized element of 0net that must be eliminated. however, in the mean time, the issue of it not working for some people has been going on for a long time. it seems that zeroid server decides on timeout to give certain user based on their ip address. i've been able to successfully register new zeroids from a clearnet ip when a lot of people complained that they couldn't. some users reported that zeroid registration takes up days for them (so you click on "create id" and then after some time passes you can use, however nothing like progress bar is there to help you understand that you're going to get it). so you can try to wait or to create account from a more "clear" ip (maybe through private vpn or something)

meanwhile, official ZeroNet (this repository) is no longer developed, doesn't support onion-v3 and vulnerable. as its maintainer, i recommend switching to https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy fork

It loads some external resources that might have been blocked by your browser's security settings. I also came to notice this issue and temporary used Konqueror (other browser) and there I was able to register an account.

But that's also a more general issue in ZeroNet. Some sites include external images directly which is a privacy leak (referrer URL, browser agent string, IP address). I would recommend using <meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer"> + proxy-ing the image/video through ZeroNet (e.g. including Tor) so the IP is hidden towards the external website.
