Alexandria allows for direct publishing of media to an audience without censorship through DMCA takedown or beause the company in control of the platform dislikes the content. It gives the potential for direct revenue for content creators in an environment that has made it increasingly difficult for musicians and other creative people to make money from their work. It allows for the archiving of information in a decentralized fashion to prevent "data loss" like the original Library of Alexandria.

You have been given multiple explanations and links to more info. The potential seems obvious to me, and has for the better part of a year. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Okay, now there are two fairly consistent descriptions, yours and the one by cryptolemaik that follows yours. I've followed links, watched videos, read interviews etc and the 'project' seems to change dramatically.

If you are seriously going to attach florin to a DMCA challenge then you are going to destroy florin. That is obvious.

So at this point it looks like the purpose of Alexandria is to ... ? ? ? ? Give the feds an opportunity to show that they can shut down a coin? ? ? If the florin network is facilitating DMCA violations then anyone using florin runs the risk of criminal charges?

Why not just modify something like bearshare and add a tipping app? What advantage is there in using a block chain and forcing a massive download? It looks like the only reason it is being 'built around florin' is to pump florin.

As for "Archiving information in a decentralized fashion"... Why? ? ? ? I saw the example about, for example, keeping a record of global warming, There are like 20 million servers that are plugged with this kind of information. You are saying that if there was some question about the veracity of information stored by major organizations then they could go to "the Alexandria project" and it would have reliable information because.... why? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"Like the original library at Alexandria" is funny. Could you please explain the similarity?

This all looks still like a massive mound of shit. But I still have quite a few FLO so maybe I'll ignore it until I sell.
