Hunter's comment

i absolutely love this!

this for me is where the decentralized internet has to go next, local level, pay to play, lots of different backhauls, faster equipment, local networks away from corporate structures and instead community owned.

Althea is a system that lets routers pay each other for bandwidth. This allows people to set up decentralized ISPs in their communities. In an Althea network, instead of one ISP at the top collecting monthly payments, many different people can earn money by expanding and strengthening the network.

Something like this is exactly what the world needs. We are going to have to break away from the centralized institutions.

I've always loved the mesh networks. I thought they were amazing. But the teacher actually called them expensive and they mostly mentioned the mesh as a just bonus thong on the side and it wasn't even really mentioned in tests. I'm so glad to be on the right sie of history and considering the mesh as the future.

I loved the demo. It explains everything well and you are not relying on theoretical assumptions.

One thing I got thinking g of was the network performance. I think it might suck for a while. Centralized services with lots of money can provide infrastructure for massive connection speeds like in Hong Kong and Japan. I think it'll take bit of time for a decentralised internet to match that level of performance.

Internet was the important things in our life, without that we can't work and check the thing that happened in this world, but while the centralize was taking apart, we didn't know the difference between the real news or just hoax and in a centralized system, many routers are not safe. but, with decentralized internet from Althea, we can have real and faster news.

Actually, we can't do without a really fast internet nowadays. We just have to keep pushing forward.
Thanks for sharing this

I was going through the details about why it would be cheaper , but could not find a comparison of how it would be cheaper compared to what we have already now. The concept looks good, however, the incentivizing part is still not clear.

It is really a nice product and it is cheaper and faster than already we have. Great hunt.

Congratulations!

I'm actually really glad I stumbled upon this. I'll be following the project closely now. This is something I'd really like to see using a popular blockchain like Ethereum, or even Steem. I had this same idea! However, I'm not nearly savvy enough to have built it, and I'm just glad someone did. I'm sure this tech will find its way to the mainstream like Karma hotspot did years ago.
