Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks) - SLRPNK

some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time https://scuttlebutt.nz/docs/introduction/ [https://scuttlebutt.nz/docs/introduction/] https://ipfs.tech/#why [https://ipfs.tech/#why] https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ [https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/] https://www.inverse.com/science/39507-mesh-networks-net-neutrality-fcc [https://www.inverse.com/science/39507-mesh-networks-net-neutrality-fcc] https://zeronet.io/ [https://zeronet.io/] https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/low-budget-p2p-content-distribution-with-git.gmi [https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/low-budget-p2p-content-distribution-with-git.gmi] https://geti2p.net/en/ [https://geti2p.net/en/] https://redecentralize.github.io/alternative-internet/ [https://redecentralize.github.io/alternative-internet/] https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns [https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns] https://netsukuku.freaknet.org/ [https://netsukuku.freaknet.org/] https://hyperboria.net/ [https://hyperboria.net/] https://urbit.org/ [https://urbit.org/] https://agregore.mauve.moe/ [https://agregore.mauve.moe/] https://www.hyphanet.org/ [https://www.hyphanet.org/] http://libertreeproject.org/ [http://libertreeproject.org/]

Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

Associating with crypto-fraud is a hard no for many users.

Replying to this comment so people don’t get put off by it. Nostr has an optional feature where you can tip other users using Bitcoin lightning. So if you like their post, you can send them .001c or $100 or whatever you want. You don’t have to use it though. It’s valuable IMO as a way for content creators to get paid and will be a key driver of content creators choosing to use it over other platforms, but to each their own. You can also dedicate a % of your tips to your nostr relay or app to supporting hosting and development.

Crypto is full of garbage and scams, Nostr uses Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been around for 15 years without a single hour of downtime, a single hack, or a single broken promise. Whatever you don’t like about “crypto” is probably actually other stuff that isn’t Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a way to transfer coins around the world quickly, and it works, and nobody can print away the currency’s value by inflating the supply. It has a trillion dollar market cap for a reason, which places it in the top 25 countries by GDP.

Turns out Nostr’s founder (who is crypto-bro) is super sketchy:

Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to a project run by an anonymous dev — who turned out to be a follower of a fascist 'guru'

Twitter's cofounder Jack Dorsey personally gave $245,000 in crypto to a developer who's a follower and student of a well-known Brazilian fascist.
