Re: [ANN][Blocknet] The internet of blockchains / XBridge / true cross-chain P2P

Will the blocknet be helpful in any way to count this:

I'm not sure, but Mr. Obama would be mistaken if he were to think that the internet fell under US jurisdiction.

It's a continual source of bafflement to me that US institutions so often appear unaware of their merely national authority.

The internet as we know is placed in the US, it is way more centralized than most people know. This is why we need blockchain tech on a platform other than the big fiber lines infrastructure.

How could this happen. Could websites be built inside the blocknet somehow? Web 3.0?

XC should commence developing its web 3.0 distributed content server very soon. It'll serve anything from webpages, ads, and personal files from XC nodes.

And of course any Blocknet-enabled node will be able to use this service.

Great. Is there a thread here where I can read up on xc and web 3.0 a bit more?

Yes, XC's thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=630547.0

And the press release on the distributed content server is here: http://downloads.xc-official.com/images/14-08-22%20XC%20pioneers%20Web%203.0%20with%20blockchain-based%20content%20delivery.pdf

Ads in the blockchain has been developed by CraigsCoin. Why don't you add it to the BlockNet?

Maybe. I don't know...

That doesn't sound like a good idea though. A blockchain is not the sort of thing to store content. Imagine the bloat!

Content should be indexed in the blockchain and stored, encrypted, on the local storage accessible to multiple nodes in such a way that not even the nodes know what they're storing.

Only text is stored. Bloat becomes an issue as a long-term solution, however the tech is already there. Why develop new from scratch if you can develop the existing one?

Good question, but it's not one I can answer since I'm not XC's dev and I also know nothing about Craigscoin. There are innumerable variables that could affect such a decision.

Will you ask the Craigscoin people to consider joining the Blocknet?

because competition fuels innovation. i would love to see craigscoin on blocknet and other similar ideas competing against each other. the xbridge will be open source anyway so its craigscoins and any other cois decision some point down the road to join or not . only the foundation spot will remain to be voted on.
i think you don't fully get what the blocknet is meant to be when its up and running . there won't be a one solution for every problem type coin conglomerate. the foundation will probably look like that and thats good. but every coin will have a shot at offering his service on blocknet and by so , if succesfull, probably gaining a foundation seat.
