I see gemini as something that has the potential to be a big hit over
Tor, where people run local services on their home machines. In this
case, SSL is redundant and it's kind of a pain to deal with.
But there's really no reason one couldn't just use file:// or even
http:// I guess.
If you're already on Tor and using onion encryption to secure your
traffic, there's almost no need for Gemini. You can setup a simple
HTTP server and just serve files on it. Gemini's instistence on TLS +
TOFU makes it difficult to use on any overlay network that has
encryption out-of-the-box. Even Gopher works fine over Tor if you so
wish it.
