A new concept on the horizon.
It is considered that platforms must be built from the ground-up to be neutral, stateless, decentralized and open-source.
The need for a new descentralized internet is urgent and inevitable.
Is this a reality or just a theory of conspiracy?
still waiting for synth to decentralize consensus and make all of the code open source.
Even when you build them from scratch centralization is something that happens . It s more about really wanting to surpass miningpools and mining monopolies , so i guess we got to take synth for his word and see what the project will look like at the next phase
i read about this also in an interview with the marketing guy or something from Skycoin. fascinating how the sphere of influence is changing even in the tech world. security and privacy is something that needs to be solved asap. before it was applied on big companies, now your privacy is not respected at all. never known what is behind on something.
sometimes sound like bla bla, but what skycoin is trying to tackle is something very important for each of us
Such serious implications OP. Don't even know where to begin.. what is the solution to prevent or circumvent cyberbalcanization?
it's a shame that not everyone understands the the importance of it
Why would he give up his power over the entire supply?
Even when he does it is controlled by an "anonymous" board. Which really could just be him or him and his cronies.
It's broken by design. Put your time and money into something else.
According to the article the solution is the creation of the new internet.
>encrypted ecosystem
>descentralization
>financial incentives for the people to get involved in building the new internet
On the other hand it also says that somehow is inevitable. Cyberbalkanization it's taken place and will continue. Dunno what to say about that
The term is a bit too broad but indeed the balkans brings cheap bandwidth and energy and good programmers to the table . That s why one of the biggest mining pool is in ukraine
You couldn t be more far from the truth but i get your point . The design in good, it solves what others could not do before but it s the implementation and the market reaction that i m uncertain of
Well providing their data is a comfortable trade off for most of the people. You cannot make a "new" internet from scratch, this means you have no clue on what resources were needed for the current infrastructure. Realistically, Skywire can get close to a network such as Tor and deliver very well under these limits
Thinking outside of the box is what made things like the internet , blockchain , AI. I guess that the “new” actually has to surpass is predecessors concept if change is to come
Indeed this too, but also the fact that now the internet is fractured, by region, progress, geopolitical reasons and so on.
Step by step.
The first step is already made. Sky is giving incentives to its community to be part of the new internet, to embrace the web of trust.
in this context Skycoin existence makes sense. personally, I don't feel all these global changes cause I live in Europe and even if at a state level things got tensional, with GDPR I feel more protected. Ofc, I became super cautious, those freedom days are gone
Fuck, do I have to wait 10y to use this shit?
Does nobody even remember he dumped like 10% of the coins and claimed he got kidnapped a few months back? Wtf.
Exact this is what I was thinking when I read about it. This article is a very good proof to demonstrate that Skycoin does have a good purpose and the arguments behind are valid.
Did you even tried to read about it? You have a two page scientific, researched article with valid argumentation and still fudding here? WTF is wrong with you people??!?!?!?!??
Oh ok I guess that makes it all better then. Fact is it's incredibly vulnerable and can be dumped to 0 at any time. No thanks
A two page scientifically researched article about the founder dumping most of the supply?
Wut?
