[PD-ot] [Fwd: looking for testers]

[David NG McCallum]

Not a Pd project, but potentially interesting to Pd users.

It's a pretty neat idea. It tries to exploit audio corruption through a 
peer-to-peer network of UDP connections (I think).

It appears the demo is Win only, but I know they have working linux/mac 
versions that I assume will be released later.

Welcome to the world of NEST…….Please read carefully.



You are being invited to partake in the beta testing of C6’s latest
offering NEST.

NEST is a network cooperation that examines the corruption of data
transfer in virtual space. This is achieved via a community of users
passing an audio file around in a ring. Connected by an unreliable
method (UDP), the communication becomes prone to corruption, much like
the children's game of ‘Chinese Whispers’, where each client is linked
to their closest geographical neighbour. Passing a ‘virtual whisper’
around the internet, each link in the chain can create new versions with
each imperfect cycle.

Before I go any further there are some conditions to your involvement
(at this stage of testing).



1.You will need to be running Windows

2. You will need to be without a firewall (or in control of the
firewall. If you have a firewall then open ports 2004 2005 and 2006)

3. Visit the site and download the application installer from the
‘Downloads’ section. http://c6.org/nest/download.html

4. Problems Bugs an Queries will be dealt with through the ‘Messages’
part of the site (you will have to log in to communicate with us and
other testers)
