The Famous Internet entrepreneur as well as onetime hacker Kim Dotcom, who introduced legendary Megaupload as well as MEGA file sharing services to the World, has came upwards alongside unopen to other crazy stance — To start his really ain Internet that uses the "blockchain".
Just final month, Kim Dotcom, a High German millionaire formerly known equally Kim Schmitz, launched Blue Planet beta of its end-to-end encrypted video as well as well chat service called "MegaChat", which it says gives improve protection than alternatives such equally Skype as well as Google Hangouts.
Now, his latest serial of tweets referred to Kim Dotcom's supposed "MegaNet" which, he believes, would last immune to the global volume surveillance conducted past times governments or corporations as well as would non last based on IP addresses.
MegaNet would last a decentralized, non-IP based network inwards which the blockchain used past times Bitcoin volition play an "important role". Decentralizing the Internet agency to accept the ability of the Web away from powerful hands of governments as well as corporations as well as set it dorsum inwards the hands of online users.
This motion would offering users a genuinely gratuitous space, where they tin communicate privately alongside anyone else without censorship.
Mr. Dotcom continued to inform his followers that they "would last surprised" virtually "how much idle storage as well as bandwidth capacity mobile phones have", adding that "MegaNet volition plough that idle capacity into a novel network".
Entrepreneur too assured its followers that the consumption of the battery won't last a work for a large set out of phones inwards the network carrying MegaNet.
"MegaNet won't rely entirely on mobile networks at launch. But the to a greater extent than powerful phones perish the to a greater extent than information & traffic they volition carry."
There are a set out of similar projects that Pb to the alter towards Decentralization.
MAIDSAFE — ANOTHER DECENTRALIZED INTERNET
MAIDSAFE — ANOTHER DECENTRALIZED INTERNET
One such is past times David Irvine, dubbed MaidSafe — Massive Array of Internet Disks - Secure Access For Everyone. Maidsafe is an open-source programme (hosted on GitHub) that enables a decentralized Internet platform.
The key role of MaidSafe is its SAFE network, powered past times its participants' computers, which means, instead of specialized servers, information are stored as well as distributed past times a network of internet-connected computers.
Anyone running MaidSafe programme volition perish role of the SAFE Network. The MaidSafe organization turns all connected devices into SAFE Network nodes that collectively shop information for all MaidSafe users.
Data storage is automatically decentralized, which agency a spider web application using MaidSafe does non shop its user's information on whatsoever key server — rather the information is spread across many disks as well as devices owned as well as managed past times many unlike MaidSafe users. Therefore, no one, whether it’s mortal or corporation, has an intact re-create of a user's file.
PROJECT MAELSTROM — P2P NETWORK TO HOST WEBSITES
At the cease of final year, BitTorrent announced Project Maelstrom which is "the foremost measuring toward a genuinely distributed web, ane that does non rely on centralized servers."
"Truly an Internet powered past times people, ane that lowers barriers as well as denies gatekeepers their pocket on our future," said BitTorrent. "If nosotros are successful, nosotros believe this projection has the potential to assist address unopen to of the most vexing problems facing the Internet today."
According to BitTorrent, the distributed browser could assist maintain a to a greater extent than neutral Internet. If an Internet access provider can’t position where traffic is originating from, as well as hence it can’t suppress certainly sites accessed from a browser similar Maelstrom.
ZeroNet — DECENTRALIZED WEBSITES HOSTING USING BIT TORRENT NETWORK
At the get-go of novel year, a novel opened upwards source projection known equally ZeroNet launched that aims to deliver a decentralized spider web platform using Bitcoin cryptography as well as the BitTorrent network.
ZeroNet uses a combination of BitTorrent, a custom file server as well as a spider web based user interface to create hence as well as manages to furnish a pretty usable experience. The principal destination of this projection is to host websites as well as furnish anonymity for each site’s owner.
