RE: Crypto and the Coming KYC Internet
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
We have HIVE!
Under 16s will be "banned" from social media in Australia too; with a similar KYC for others.
On another note:
We should strenuously object to requiring ID to use the internet
Billing for Internet Service Providers requires the account holder to do a few hoops - especially for fixed stuff, because it is obviously linked to a physical place, a person must be responsible for the invoice, and many providers want to do a credit check to make sure you're good for it.
There's also swathes of meta data retention laws, etc.
We can send encrypted memos on HIVE. We can communicate openly. Importantly, to me, it is immutable. That's worth more than the token could ever be worth or valued at.
A hive account for less than a dollar is a great freedom. It's more than what it is now. I just hope others see the same way as me.
The neat thing about Hive is that it doesn't have a 'home office'. There is no one authorized to accept legal service, nor to implement platform wide censorship or bans.
ISP's remain a weakness, and there are many Hive users that are currently required to submit to KYC to access the platform. Were we to adopt Reticulum we would become the ISP, with no authority between us and Hive to tell us to censor ourselves. We should do that.
Thanks!
So long as the witness nodes, too, can run on that hardware and have enough scalability and low enough latency to make it tolerable for use. I read up on the Reticulum stuff. I have a friend who is a former wireless engineer, and he used to "talk" shop to me about such things, and it looks pretty nice.
I once upon time worked for an ISP, and there are many people who monitor different wireless spectrums (and the transmissions they send) - reticulum uses encryption which is good, and frequencies which do not seem to be reserved for govt "spectrum auction" rights.
I don't understand a lot of the technical docs, but it looks like an interesting and sustainable technology.
I am confident these challenges can be surmounted. Tech advances and will overcome any limitations that stand in the way in due time. It's not like we have any choice, because the KYC internet will eradicate free speech, and free speech is an existential need because it is how we are alerted to danger that will, if we let it, cost everything we own, even our very lives. It is because of forthright speech that I avoided the jabs, and I am not alone. I know my life depends on it, and listening only to liars will lay me low.
