-Decentralized websites using Bitcoin crypto and the BitTorrent network - https://zeronet.io / [onion](http://zeronet34m3r5ngdu54uj57dcafpgdjhxsgq5kla5con4qvcmfzpvhad.onion)
+This is a minimalist conservative fork of [ZeroNet](https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet) with tor onion-v3 support (and perhaps more essential/security fixes in the future)
 
+## Why fork?
 
-## Why?
+We need a fork that works with onion-v3 and doesn't depend on trust to one or two people. We need it now. This fork implements minimal changes to [ZeroNet/py3](https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/tree/py3) branch which are easy to audit yourself.

+
+## Why 0net?
 
 * We believe in open, free, and uncensored network and communication.
 * No single point of failure: Site remains online so long as at least 1 peer is
