As someone that hate centralized power you should be looking at this project: http://maidsafe.net/
Imagine a new Internet where nobody can control, shutdown, spy... The network uses all computers in the world to store bits of everyone information, users can chose if they give 1GB, 10GB or 10T to the network (as cpu power) and can get Safecoin for that. No Servers needed. No central planer like ICANN...
You can create an account in the network with a publicID, and then host websites. Your new website would look like safe://yourwebsitename.yourPublicID and nobody can shoutdown your website, only you.
Since all data is divided in litle bits, encrypted, and send in random to diferents places, nobody can ever get your information, you can use this network as a new secure Dropbox. If you need more space, you can buy more 1 time only for safecoin.
Basicly, we have http:// and https://, witch the second one is a scam to make you pay more if you want a secure website... this is governement Internet...
Maidsafe will bring a decentralized Internet safe:// witch is private, secure, free, descentralized, censorship resilient, open-sorce...
Alot have to be done but its comming, see this:
- What is done:
- Roadmap: http://maidsafe.net/roadmap.html#network
- Safe Browser to implement the new " safe://" protocole is still a comunity idea: https://safenetforum.org/.../safer-browser-s.../10336
This will change everything!
Exciting times to be alive! So much stuff happening!
Yes! I love Maidsafe too. I can´t wait to hide properly from Big brother. And maybe farm some safecoin as well.This is also helping the platform.If I can figure out how to set up the node,I´m not a techie.
Thats is still a work in progress if i'm not wrong. But what you call the node will basically be the "Vault", a software where you choose how much space you spend, and the network will give you Safecoin for that.
This process is called Farming instead of mining.

the usage of the vaults, at least in the test-networks, is pretty straight forward. you download an executable file and run it. that's it.
