I'm not sure if this exists yet, but if it does, it would totally decentralize the internet. Being blockchain powered, its content would become immutable, making it difficult for any government or nefarious organization, to take control over it and shutdown the websites living under such system.

I've heard about Maidsafe, but recently found out that it was not blockchain powered. Still, it has interesting technology that might become useful once released.

What do you think? Smiley
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw someone who was touting Namecoin as making some sort of decentralized internet a possibility, or at least something along those lines. I can't remember exactly how it was supposed to work, but it sounded plausible from the basic information that I got from the glance I got at his post.

Now I don't remember how it works exactly, but I would imagine it would revolve around very quick block times, and information could be transferred as notations in each transaction, or something along those lines. I don't know if that's plausible.
