What mankind has achieved

Mankind has achieved a great deal in the past centuries. We don't have to fear barbarian hordes, so we don't need city walls any more. Slavery was officially abolished, at least the modern slaves don't wear chains any more. We have reduced famines. The life expectancy has risen worldwide, which is in my eyes the best indicator for wealth.
This is due to our progress in research, education and enlightenment.
One of the biggest helper in this progress in the last year's was the invention of the internet. The ARPANET created a protocol, which enabled the machines to communicate with each other. Most people didn't realize the potential, even if they understood the technique behind it. It is always hard to see the new picture that emerges, when you have the pieces of the puzzle in your hand.

"The internet is only a hype" (Bill Gates, 1993)

Today, when we look back it is easy to say "How couldn't the most people see the potential of it?"
Today we are in a similar situation with blockchains. Let us have a look where we are now and what problems we have, where blockchain can offer solutions:

What are the problems now?

Inflation

The EZB creates every month 60 billion Euros out of nothing .
The FED does the same with the Dollar in much higher levels.
Creating money is ok, when also a value is created (in this comic above, it would mean, when there are more fish). But it is hard to believe, that the economy grows in that rate in Europe each month. So, a big part of this money is inflation. It decreases the worth of our hard worked money. In the moment we are in a phase of recovery, the next downturn is a question of time. So we have to expect even more inflation.

Profit dependencies of some few

There is a small group of people that steer that wheel. We are in their hands. The history has shown, that hyperinflation is always a question of time. Who guarantees that next year not 60 trillion Euros are created per month?

The world is focused on marketing issues only (Homo Economicus)

In (not only) my eyes, this is the biggest problem we have: We are Homo Economicus.
Everything is compared in money. Everyone tries to buy cheapest and to earn the most. This is not bad in itself, but the only focus on that is bias. We outcast our humanity, the nature, the spirit and the rest of the world.

We lose our freedom

The internet is not democratic in the moment. Centralized systems tend to surveil, observe, control and in the end to oppress. The hard- and software we use today are designed to observe/surveil us.

"He who controls and owns the data controls and owns the people… The Internet we see is built to surveil and restrict rather than to liberate and prosper." Sean Kim (Page 26, Decenternet Whitepaper)

We work for free

But also the internet is controlled by a few monopolstic companies. Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft owned 3 trillion USD in 2017 .
They earn the money from the value, which was created by the mass.

Is blockchain the solution for these problems?

The blockchain was invented by someone with the synonym "Satoshi Nakamoto".

"Bitcoin started as most things do, a love, an idea, a dream." (Satoshi Nakamoto, Duality.pdf, page 2)

At the beginning it was a dream to create a stable form of "electronic gold" to mitigate at least the inflation issue. But this vision got real. The community has achieved a lot until now: money without inflation, smart contracts, eliminating the middleman, social media groups with content, which cannot be erased, …
But the most techniques are not sophisticated. And we are still missing solutions for:

Problems, that today's blockchain faces:

  • Even ICOs are dependent to a few.
  • A lot of blockchains work on a small scope, a single solution, without having the view to other token solutions. This creates incompatibility. There are more than 1400 blockchain solutions available right now. No one can handle this.
  • The internet is hold by centralized ISPs and therefore this mighty power is centralized.
  • The content of search engines is monopolized. Public data is censured by people and rules we don't know.
  • The internet is slow, old, monopolistic and corrupt.

Decenternet tackles these problems

Schiuller.png

What Satoshi Nakamoto is for Bitcoin, that is Sean Kim for a solution called "Decenternet" or short "Dnet".
The Dnet tries to consolidate all blockchain-achievements to one big worldwide new kind of blockchain internet.

"Decenternet is the most powerful complete hyper-speed P2P distributed Internet infrastructure solution platform that Blockchain technology can create." Sean Kim

The Dnet compounds are:

  • A crypto currency "Spyce"
  • A new Linux based OS "Anuvys"
  • A browser called "Osiris"
  • A protocoll "Proof of Reliability (POR)"
  • A lot of dApps

The currency "Spyce"

The value of currency is defined by the people. The people itself are the currency. Because they define what is valuable, what has a meaning.
For example: If everyone says "Yes we need energy, but instead of oil we take solar power and wind", then oil is worthless. This means the creation of our world starts with our mind setting.

"Data represents the most valuable resource of the earth because it is a mirror of their creators." Sean Kim, Page 26, Decenternet Whitepaper

The intrinsic value of the Spyce token (SPC) is the sum of: Likes, views, stickiness (duration), relevance (calculated value of the "Liberty" search engine) and links.

"Imagine a world where liberty and freedom would be more profitable and make more economic sense than oppression and separation" Anuvys-powered-by-Decenternet.pdf, Page 35.

The number of Spyce is limited to 8.5 billion until 2030, because this is the estimated amount of people then. So there will be no inflation.
You can exchange Spyce into any other crypto currency. Spyce is going to be traded on the most popular crypto exchanges by Q4 2018.

The Anuvys OS

Anuvys OS’s main goal is to provide an alternative version of computed-reality where all upstream-collective monolithic poor scaling legacy enterprise operating systems are replaced by a pro-liberty and incentivized Blockchain native Operating System (OS).

The Linux based Anuvys OS allows you to share your hardware resources to the rest of the world and for this you get the crypto currency Spyce back.
The OS was made to guarantee the ownership of your data. You only give away, what you want. There is no hidden uploading of data in the background. So you can anonymously enjoy your privacy.

"Total protection of privacy is a human right." Anuvys Whitepaper.

You also are able to use this OS as a stand-alone solution, it works also fine without internet connection.
100% of your hardware resources are used for what you want to do, 0% are used for facial recognition or other observation stuff.
Anuvys is 100% open source software.

"Proof of Reliability (POR)" Protocol

The Dnet is a peer to peer network, where each member is a part of it. Mining is done by offering your Hardware resources to the other members. The resources are not needed for wasting electricity as we know it from Bitcoin. No proof of work or hashing is needed. So the transaction fee is very low, but not zero because of the hardware, power and bandwidth costs. The POR-Protocol is written to find the fastest nodes and therefore it should be multiple faster, than the existing Internet.

"It is estimated, that the proof of reliability protocol creates an internet, that is 3-30 times faster, than the internet we know today." (Anuvys White Paper, Page 46)

"HDCS protocol (based on POR) is multiple faster than EOS." (Anuvys White Paper, Page 8)

And of course all the blockchain features, that are already invented, are also possible (like sending money, smart contracts, …)
The governance of the Dnet is divided into five groups: development team, spyce holders, miners, users and third party developers. Every member of this group has the same voting power regardless of his resources.

The Osiris browser

You don't need to run the Anuvys OS to be part of the Dnet, it's enough to use the Osiris Browser. It ensures you a fast, anonymous and secure way to browse the old internet and also the D-Net.

dApps and dWapps

Decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized web applications (dWapps) are based on the blockchain and exist as a form of virtual supercomputer, that not a single man or even a state can control but only the community. All middlemen are substituted by smart contracts, which reduce the costs (marge) enormously.
There are a lot of dApps, that partly already exist, but are (more or less) separated on island solutions.
With Dnet we can link them all together and create therefore a high efficient multifunctional decentralized ecosystem. For Example:

Anuvys Debit Card Aggregation

This is a solution to get a debit card with which you can go shopping and paying normal FIAT-Prices.

Veritas

This is a solution for Identity and Access Management (IAM).

d-Shop

This is a shopping solution like ebay.

ENVOL

This is an Internet Of Things (IoT) integration solution.

The Liberty Search Engine

"Disinformation is the most manipulative force of domination." Anuvis Whitepaper.

The internet is like platons cave allegory, it is just a shade of the reality. We are used to this shade and think, it is reality. But this shadows on the wall are danced by a few internet providers.
The Liberty Search Engine is designed to speak the truth. You will find the pages with the best search results and not with the highest advertisements.
Liberty is based on the very fast open source software ElasticSearch.
To avoid dirty content in the Dnet a jury-duty like voting system will ensure, that violence, pornography and extreme hating speech is censured.

Apollo

This is a tokenization engine.

Anuvys d-Exchange

A cryptocurrency exchange platform.

Token Publishing and review Process

A platform to create tokens from the real world.

Themis

Credit Ratings and Reference Data Management on Dnet

Janus

An Educational platform for the citizens of the new decentralized world. It supports and connects schools and universities.

Artemis

Real Estate investment platform.

Thor

Insurance platform for the protection of mankind on Dnet.

Movven

A Ride sharing platform like Uber.

Blocktube

Blocktube is a pendant to googles Youtube, with the big difference, that the content belongs to the mass. And so the value of it, which is payed back via Spyce. This concepts works already fine with Dtube, Dlive, Steemit,…

"Blocktube’s data is fetched and streamed directly from the Decenternet mining network. This is why the its streaming speed is much faster than retrieving data from a traditional monopolistic centralized limited data pool…
Blocktube is scheduled to start development in Q1 of 2019." Anuvis Whitepaper.

Conclusions

There is a growing movement about Net Neutrality which came out from "the old Cyber Punks", which started with some dreams and visions and created until now a seriously counterpart to the big central companies.

"Creativity is the driving engine of society, instead of fear."

All commercial OSs are built with observing in mind, but mass surveillance is the product of fear, the old way.
We are able to change the world to a better place. There is a lot to do, but also a place for everyone to bring in.
Now with Decenternet, Anuvys, Liberty Search Engine,… we have tools in our hands, we never had before, to bring back the control into a democratic community and make the world to a fairer and better place.

Liked and retweeted on Twitter.....all the best. I can see you have done some extensive research and it was very good to read about the vision of so many Dapps dWapps outlined above. Decenternet really have a incredibly wide-scope on their project!
