    Learn about Maidsafe's SafeNetwork. They don't use IP protocol after the first bootstrap. Network routing is based on XOR distance, and it is completely distributed, not just "decentralized". The real Pied Piper is SafeNetwork. Check the videos. The SAFE Network from First Principles: https://www.youtube.com/playli... GoogleTech talks 2006: https://youtu.be/fLA77zxk-vA

  2. MaidSafe's SafeNetwork is the real Pied Piper, the on HBO's 'Silicon Valley' Joins The Push For A Decentralized Web (ieee.org) · · Score: 0

    The other projects don't even cover the basics of the vision, only MaidSafe is developing the full scope of a decentralized internet. Completely autonomous, fully distributed, shared resources, anonymous, and secured by design. The security landscape will change forever because they remove the servers from the internet. No servers, only pure peer to peer distributed internet, anonymous with broadband like speed. All files stored in the cloud forever, without any recurrent cost, all communication encrypted by default. Currency-wise: no centralization, instantaneous transactions, no fees (forever, their security model doesn't require it), and anonymous, paid by resource served. And this is possible because it is NOT blockchain based, their consensus system is based on xor based close group consensus. Pied Piper's description on the show is word by word the description of the SafeNetwork. For more information read: Article in TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2014/07...

    There is such project currently under development. Check out MaidSafe's SafeNetwork. The objective is to rebuild the internet from the ground up, being completely distributed (not only "decentralized"), anonymous, and secured by default. It is so secure and anonymous that it doesn't even use IP for routing, they developed their own protocol inspired on Kademlia. No more payments to corporations to host files or services. No more servers. A true P2P internet. It also has cryptocurrency to pay for storage on the network, you pay only once to upload, but there are no recurrent costs to maintain it. It is stored indefinitely for free. It is still under development and they are in the very early alpha stages, but it is extremely promising

  6. Maybe Elliot hacked uTorrent and had their source on Mr. Robot 'Plugs' uTorrent and Pirate Release Groups (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2
    I am really baffled by the consultant suggesting uTorrent for such an elite character.
    Really, what is the chance of an elite super paranoid libertarian anonymous hacker to be using Evil closed sourced rootkit ridden software?
    I would understand seeing that scene from Angela's screen, but Elliot? Really?

    A simple rule of thumb for screenwriters: ELLIOT USES ONLY OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. PERIOD.

    The only twist that would salvage this mess is if Elliot hacked uTorrent, got their source code and compiled his own version.

    You can launder money with shit, literally, pieces of turd. Buy manure from a provider and then sell it back to a farmer, and you successfully have layered and integrated the funds as legitimate. Nobody will debate that manure isn't money, and that is not the point. The point is that money of illicit origin has been laundered.

  12. ONLY ONE solution for PRIVATE & SAFE cloud sto on Ask Slashdot: Should You Store Medical Details In The Cloud? (caremonkey.com) · · Score: 1
    You guys should check MaidSafe's project called Safe Network. It is a decentralized, server-less, blockchain-less, autonomous, private, redundant, anonymous secure network that will make any centralized system obsolete. This is the only solution possible for storing private medical records, within this system THE PATIENT would OWN the medical history, and it could allow specific doctors access to it. But the patient would be 100% in control of the data, without any risk of leakage, failure or hacks.

    The Safe Network project is reaching its first alpha version, but it is the culmination of 10 years of research and planning.
