when downloading torrents you have a bunch of seeders and maybe most won’t be online, but some will be. I’m so so tired with services and monopolies. Do you think it would be possible to create an internet where instead of large servers we just have individuals hosting their email service, the communities they like to post in and sharing files. essentially it’s just torrent with email and message board
I can think of two projects with this type of idea In mind;
Freenet @ https://www.hyphanet.org/index.html
Threefold @ https://threefold.io
They are both working distributed internet platforms. Threefold is more commercial and has a method to pay you for your bandwidth via crypto currency. Freenet is free speech based and against censorship.
