Yeah the only thing I can think of is akin to a HAM radio style internet. Local wireless nodes that individuals setup and interconnect with each other across the world.
If the infrastructure isn't decentralized, it is very difficult for the communication to be.
You can do data slowly over HAM radio. It has been done. You could potentially build something for just text data that way.
How about a multi wavelengths capable device? I take it HAM is long waves therefore long range but slow data? That would only be necessary when nodes are few and far apart, but for more densely populated areas it could switch to shorter wavelength for faster data transfer.
- startup capitol
- research
- comms protocol
- device that replaces modem
- factory mass production
- ???
- profit! (and decentralized internet)
Lots of radios would be needed to make something like that work, and timeout settings would become a nightmare but it might be a start
Yeah, that's why we need specialized hardware for something like that to work. Can't use old tech.
I saw this but only read it just now.
How will I be able to view a blockchain website? You will need to use a mirroring service, a browser extension or a browser that supports blockchain domains.
Having used IPFS a fair bit before, it was incredibly buggy and unreliable. I think a Tor .onion is going to be more reliable and easier for people to access.
