Christoph has produced an advertisement for the Gopher project. This advertisement references the "darknet", which refers generally to any portion of the Internet which is not generally accessible to the public--colloquially, anything that is not searchable from Google. Gopher could be considered a "darknet" protocol as most of the general public doesn't know about it. Presumably, Christoph calls it the "true" darknet because most darknet protocols are at least peripherally known to the public through news stories, whereas Gopher isn't really known at all. This advertisement is to be shown at Chaos Communication Congress (C3), a conference about computery stuff. A lot of different things go on there, but in particular one of the things discussed at C3 is various darknet services.

Greetings fellow comrades.

To spread the word of gopher I have added a gopher advertisement to the
info‐beamer, which adds ads to the 33C3[0] streams [1]. Here[2] is
the repository for the info‐beamer.

Watch the streams for gophers! :D

Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann
