FWIW I fiddled with GNUnet in 2003 (woow, I’m getting old ;-)).  At the
time, I was able to actually share files with unknown users.  I think
tinkerers don’t necessarily mind the small network; if compatibility
breaks are rare enough, the network can grow slowly but surely.

Data point: Git guarantees data integrity (each commit ID is the
commit’s hash), and commits can be signed to guarantee authenticity.
That seems very important for a security-oriented project.
