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.

Decentralize the internet sounds vague.Any better way of putting it ? What does a decentralized internet do anyway ? Allow child porn distribution freely ? Open up websites about hiring hitmen openly ? I don't really understand the context here.

Well you do have a point there. While it has its advantages, I think that there would be more disadvantages for it, as it will greatly increase the chances of crimes over the internet, and promote illegal activity. But, I believe that the internet should be freer in the sense, that anyone could access its content without any censorship to the same. Roll Eyes

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.

Blockchain kinda makes sense here but where do you think internet comes from ? Government.It's inevitable.

True. But I think that this could be done with mesh networking, where there is no ISP, but instead a network of computers connected to one another where content is distributed among the same. Node A will be the host, then the other nodes will connect to it and distribute the data among them, in a point where there is redundancy and no need for an established ISP. You would just connect to the mesh network over Wi-Fi to access the content that it is distributed among its members. There would be no government here, but just individuals running their own network. It's more like a truly libertarian internet if you tell me. Just my thoughts. Grin
