This sub is not about TOR and all the seediness that goes on there but rather about creating darknets, by which we/they mean mesh networks and encrypted networks using tools like https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/. Source: 11 months ago

One of my favorite projects in IPv6 space is the CJDNS project: LINK TO GITHUB. Source: about 1 year ago

From a purely networking perspective, there are far better solutions than tailscale. Have a look at full mesh VPNs like: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go https://github.com/gsliepen/tinc https://github.com/costela/wesher These build actual mesh networks where every node is equal and can serve as a router for other nodes to resolve difficult network topologies... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I'm excited about P2P/decentralized/distributed overlay networks. Still catching up so would be grateful for tips on resources. Pinecone[0][1], newer initiative made by former Yggdrasil[2] maker(s). CJDNS[3]. AIUI CJDNS relies on intermediary high-uptime discoverable router nodes which is what is motivating Pinecone. POKT[4][5] to CJDNS seems like what Filecoin is to IPFS. I'm yet to get around to doing the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

Sia - A decentralized data storage platform where the proof of work helps maintain the network and provide storage services. Source: 11 months ago

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?). https://sia.tech/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Not sure what you aught to do, but I will say the 2 projects Im paying attention to are https://www.helium.com/mine and https://sia.tech/. Source: about 1 year ago

For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.
