RE: Lessons from the Internet's Early Days
The next revolution in internet...
i am going to try to call the interconnects.
Will be here shortly. And it will change the entire paradigm.
I envision everyone having wall servers. Each person posts their pictures / text to their server, and then allow whom they want to see it.
Then there will be competing wall viewers / aggregators.
Like the block chain, it is turning centralization inside-out.
The interconnects, that sounds interesting. So you mean in the same way that everyone controls their keys and not remain at the mercy of third party, the interconnects allows everyone to have home servers with encryption and bypass centralization all together?
That sounds fascinating @builderofcastles now you're making me think haha
Yep, that is what i mean.
The hardest part, to me, is that the internets are built on client-server models. Almost nothing is peer-to-peer.
We don't have a model for working discovery.
Like, currently we have Skypee and you get people's usernames you want to contact, and the Skypee server does the connection.
What might work... really work, is that you give out your public key, like you give out your BTC key... like you would give out your phone number and then the interconnects connects you.
Unless the interconnects broadcasts to everyone, the underlying infastructure / data-structure doesn't exist. ICANN is really simple to set up, really complex to continue to grow. This, what i am looking for will probably be really simple to grow and thinking-up-block-chain hard to set up.
