This is an interesting idea/project I saw on 4chan + 4 (can’t say the site’s name or my shit will be “spam”)
“I've chewed on this idea ever since someone brought it up on /pol/ more than a year ago. He called it Secession from the Internet. The idea was to build an entirely new decentralized Internet from scratch, and the discussion turned to meshnets & pirateboxes and some more exotic solutions. Of course all of it was completely out of reach of the average person to take part in so it was really just a four-week long circle-jerk.
But I obsessed over it. I couldn't stop thinking about how to make it happen, and my OCD led me to the exact same conclusion that smarter fuckers than me have already come to:
"We don't have a technology problem; we have a social problem."

This needs to be something that a broad range of people can participate in which appeals to their own interests. Not some grand scheme of decentralizing the web. It needs to build on itself in such a way that it naturally leads to a decentralized Internet. And since powers that be aren't going to like it, it's also going to mean breaking rules and going back to some old school ways of doing things. That's inevitable. Internet freedom will not be legal.
Boards like >>>/killcen/ and >>>/eternalarchive/ are on the same track as what I'm thinking about, but I have a broader scope in mind than just archiving stuff to prevent censorship. Instead, we copy EVERYTHING. Youtube channels, blogs, podcasts, image galleries, wikis, porn. Whatever YOU like on the Internet, scrape it all to your harddrive. Store it in an organized format that a webmaster could easily import into their own eepsite on i2p or something.
Next, join up with informal networks of people. People on the chans (http://www.allchans.org), people on IRC, and share.” (1)

(2) Or do the same thing as boards like /killcen/ and set up accounts on mediafire, but don't rely exclusively on those. The idea is to create informal networks of people, not to rely on specific technology. The content that you scrape and share is the raw material for building these networks.If you have web design skills then start setting up onion sites, eepsites, zeronet sites, etc built from content that you've scraped from the Internet. I'm talking about raw, unapologetic piracy. We cannibalize the Internet. We treat it as a resource of free content for building darknet culture.
I've thought further ahead than this, about how this could slowly translate into mesh networks and decentralized infrastructure, about how to quickly start a crypto-economy,
I'll make the logo.

The problem is: it is decentral.
so it must be p2p and you know what happens to copyrighted torrents. people get letters from their ISP.
>>55594527
Only because of the content. P2P traffic isn't illegal in of itself. However many home isp contracts make you agree to not have a server of some sort
>>55594375
It's not doable B. Where are all these people around the world supposed to get that much storage?
You could actually do all that scraping and archival and put it all on one website/service/bbs and have it be invite/subscription/dial-in it has to be centralized because speed and economies of scale concept applies here.

Who's going to afford all the hardware(not just for connections), write all the software consistently so there isn't as much variations as there are linux distros, create all the standards(so that every communication can happen oon the same level)? Great theory, like starting new ISPs to overcome ISP monopoly, but extremely hard.

Only because of trackers. The reason why we need trackers is that people stop seeding almost completely. That's all. A single, optional, in-between node to anonymize traffic even peer-to-peer along with large amounts of permanodes serving the role in exchange for something they care about enough (e.g. maidsafe -> $) fixes these issues.
As for the networks themselves and their speed, just look at ipfs or zeronet: shit just werks and is fast as hell, so that's not an issue.
Also, OP is a faggot.
