Release notes

THIS IS AN INITIAL RELEASE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY! You should understand how IPFS works before start this adventure.

ZionBox is a system based on the IPFS technology. You can see it as a file manager with some additional features. These features are:

Files structure, as in a regular file manager;
Ability to share content in a decentralized way. Like in OneDrive, or Google Drive, or another AnyDrive solution, you can store and share content. But in ZionBox your content is not stored in any central server, but in the other ZionBox nodes that somehow are interested at the same content. The moment you access data you automatically become a host for it.
Strong cryptography. When you add data to the ZionBox you have the option to securely and privately store it, even if the hash of the file is public. You will need the passphrases to access this secured content;
You can see ZionBox as a vault that you can share space with your friends and organizations;
You can preview some kind of data from within ZionBox, ex.: movies, musics, etc;
ZionBox will permit storing critical data and share it securely;
ZionBox is a base technology that can be evolved in several different products;

- On Windows can be installed with Chocolatey;
