Entropy was designed to be compatible with the similar Freenet system. As such, any Freenet client could be configured to run on the Entropy network.  However, Entropy and Freenet data stores are not compatible with each other and therefore do not share data.

Entropy featured a news interface, for reading and posting on the latest frost message boards from within the client.

== Status ==
On July 9, 2004, the creator of Entropy announced that he had stopped work on the project
<ref>[http://slashdot.org/story/04/07/10/1458202/entropy-project-closes-up-shop Entropy Project Closes Up Shop]. [[Slashdot]] July 10 2004</ref> amid uncertainty about the security of the included algorithms, namely the [[McEliece cryptosystem]].

McEliece has been proven resistant to attack by [[Quantum Fourier Sampling]] as used by [[Shor's algorithm]].<ref>[http://arxiv.org/abs/1008.2390 The McEliece Cryptosystem Resists Quantum Fourier Sampling Attacks]</ref>
