The website itself is still pretty WIP, so if you have the time the DEFCON presentation (and slides) probably gives a better high level architecture/vision statement.
There are a few high level technical bits that stand out to me:
No special assigned node roles (unlike Guard/Exit nodes in Tor and Relay/Bootstrap/Delegate routing)
Trying to achieve all three of privacy/security/performance
Light nodes (like a torrent peer rather than a Tor relay node)
Works with both storage and routing (I'm unsure on the storage portion of this, but the idea is floating around in several sources)
There are a few other nitpicks I have about some of the details, like the mention about the ideas about changing route length, given that in Tor doing so can actually hurt your anonymity, but since I'm not a security researcher I'm not going to pretend that this is proof of any big flaw in the plans laid out.
If you're looking for a demo of the functionality on offer, I think there are only raw CLI nodes right now though there is a chat app somewhere in the works. Obviously the protocol isn't going to get much practical adoption for a while (especially with yetanothersecuremessenger) but it is probably something I will occasionally think about for a while.
This is super interesting to me. I don't know when I'd ever have time, but I half-baked an idea for a P2P media sharing/social network app. This seems like an ideal stack to build it on.
