Hey man, thanks for pointing out Substratum. There is so much new technology manifesting it is difficult to keep up. It’s cool to help the community out when something peeks our interest as these opportunities could easily get missed. The net nuetrality decision was kind of a bummer, but I have faith we will figure it out. Looks like Substratum is certainly an alternative/solution if need be. Thanks!
Thanks man :) Let me know what you think about it.
I’ve only spent about six hours trying to understand the solution..okay i've spent enough time grasping it. I think their approach just might work and get adopted fast enough.I think it's ok with trying to become better
I don't think there is a big chance for the future not to have a censorship free
limitless and permission-less internet.
Since people are already on it there will be solutions soon.
re-steemed.
It's kind of funny to see how authority is operating as if it's completely unaware of how badly they are about to be blindsided. They keep making these gaffes lately trying to work through an old centralized model of rent seeking behavior setting themselves up to become middlemen for a soon to be obsolete system. The political theater is going to be epic when their one trick pony breaks.
Substratum looks similar to the blockstack.org- reading white paper now. Thanks for the find!
PS - wondering how much running a Substratum node will jack up my internet bandwidth (I run a metered connection).
Still waiting for the beta! Oh I don't think think it's similar to blockstack, quite different layers they're tackling. Blockstack's development is more matured though!
Resteemed.
This is how I'm trying to look at the net neutrality issue also. I've believed all along that this will foster innovation. It seems substratum is a good example of this.
I'll be getting onboard.
I'm all for decentralizing the net. That is how it was supposed to be in the beginning.
This and other technologies is our chance to take the net back from the gatekeepers.
Great post.
Keep Steeming!
Thanks @wdougwatson. So far substratum seems to be a better answer compared to some of the other coins out there trying to decentralise the net as well. I think they’ve a sensible approach for quick and easy adoption :)
Me too. My hope however is 1000 solutions. Everything from local meshnets, to new kinds of darknet, to solutions like substratum.
Great post. "the nature in which net neutrality is maintained ought to be shifting into the power of markets, instead of good old nation-state control." Solid quote right there and I agree. I've been following Net Neutrality recently and I also came across SUB as well. I have been watching it, looking for an entry point, however, if you buy and hold long term, I can only see this rising in value. People will naturally flock to a decentralized internet once they become aware. Blockchain technology is going to revolutionize the world. I believe that it truly has the potential to shift the power away from the elite and bring it back to the people. Big government can try to control it, but the people will prevail and will always be one step ahead. Thanks for the share.
I really didn't follow most of what you wrote about the need for Net Neutrality but thanks for providing some information on Substratum. I will check it out.
I guess it's just a matter of semantics, i think a concept like net neutrality is important for anyone to be able to reach anyone else as long as there's consent. The ISP shouldn't be able to have control over the connection.
Substratum has been on my radar recently as I heard it seems promising etc but I haven't known what they are about. Thanks for sharing this information and it seems like they have some really good timing for this project amidst the recent developments as you state.
I will have to look it up further - Thanks for sharing !
I'm for anything that keeps information free and accessible and out of government and corporate control. It's kind of ironic that we need protection from government interests. In essence I feel that the internet should fall under public domain as a utility, the same as electricity and water. It's needed to function and should be non profit. I have yet to hear a plausible argument for getting rid of neutrality. In the absence of neutrality we should do anything necessary to protect everyone's right to access information at cost, rather than at profit.
I think cryptos like substratum is a happy medium for public domain altruism and private profit..
yep never heard of it til now. putting it on my radar for investment
@kevinwong - It is unfortunate that the ISPs will get to control the access to certain content and charge premiums. Though that presents/ enhances entrepreneurial opportunities for ISPs, it regulates the Internet, which is not good as you point out. The aspect about indirect government control (because ISPs in many countries will be dependent on Government infrastructure) also bothers me. I think you are right - solutions like Substratum that promote masking type of internet usage will certainly pick up momentum in future. It is the next evolution of proxies I think. It will be a big step for net neutrality.
Thanks for this informative and intriguing article. Upvoted full.

@vm2904
I've invested a little in substratum also. Looks like a solid and much needed project!
Same boat. And I also agree that as part of the solution to this some cryptosphere tech is and should be getting some interest.
Seems like perfect kind of money network, especially with their cryptopay plans
Yes, but whoever is running a node, needs to have a decent connection to offer to others, and not be restricted by whoever their service provider is. In the grand scheme of things, mesh networks are the solution to centralised internet service provision. It has been used successfully in Athens when the police attempted to control people through their internet access when they were self organising protests.
I also recently, via coming into contact with the Verge coin, became aware of the Invisible Internet Project (I2P), an anonymous network layer that allows for censorship resistant, peer to peer communication.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P
The idea is that everyone will be using Substratum while hosting at the same time, and their data packets are on the layer of http / tcp indistinguishable as some knowable Substratum packet..
I think I need to look into this further. Thanks for the starter Kevin!
You've answered for the most part my questions about this topic and I'm happy there already is a blockchain solution to the problem at hand. It seems like the old power structures are trying desperately to fight back
I just have recently been researching about this Token. great Article ! 2018 will be the year for Substratum !
substratum already is real deal . they have amazing team and different contests all the time going on . so progressive they are , next level stuff . Im there from ico time and i will hodl till i die :)
Too bad I missed the ico. The name is quite apt..
In these days its easy to miss . Cuz all day everyday new stuff shows up . Its hard to get every coin,its impossible .
Thanks for spreading the word about substratum. I hope it is as good as it looks. De-centralizing the web is what blockchain is for.
Isn't MaidSafe similar and competitive technology?
Why is substratum better?
MS needs special browsers and stuff, and not packed as neatly as what I think substratum will do. It's gonna be an elegant implementation..
Thanks for the info. You know how old men are, we hate change, so this net-neutrality vote made me mad. Glad to see others investigating new options.
Check it out then.. what do u think about their visuals and copy? pretty good eh?
@kevinwong Great post. This is definitely worth re esteeming :)
Best wishes to you always!!
steem all the way!
Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing. Re-steemed
Thanks @handsolo!
It's a scary time. This is an issue more people need to become knowledgeable about as it will affect everyone and how they access and use the internet. Government control does nothing but stifle creativity and knowledge
Regardless of what one may think about the methods of government, it's a fact the public sector's been helping accelerate network effects by building the foundations of the net in which the private sector wouldn't be able to do so in record time considering the risks involved with high capital requirements. So yea, it's true that government control stifles network effects, but at the same time, they've built infrastructures for the people to leverage on. And it's not only government that's able to stifle creativity and knowledge, even corporations and the private sector is able to do so if they've vested interest to sway things their way. It's not all that clear cut @jasonchick..
The more they (TPTB) fight, the greater the challenge to smarter folks than they. The government controls are the single most important facilitators of the new age of the internet... we should salute them for the inspiration and incentives.
@kevinwong
The cryptos get more and more exciting everyday.super intelligent post, thank you for taking the time to create and share. love to read you post.but these kind of posts do make it easier, upvoted.
@kevinwong, As my country web accesses has blocking little bit entrance can be only limited persons. I appreciate that decision coz no need to entire internet below 16 years old child. Also net neutrality has been holding back free market solutions by the private sector but in fact, Our government take huge tax from those private sectors. Has been increase tax values for on internet services. But my opinion is less or cut down some cost of taxes coz Internet has contributed to globalization and information exchange completely.
I think Internet facilities need for exchange all things. It has been necessary thing to the human life.
Internet giving more opportunities us. But must be remember, Don't use worst way.

Using OUR crypto as a RESOURCE!
Keep STEEM N ON,

Resteem...
As long as we have to rely on the network connection we are at the mercy of those who control it. We need a free, uncontrolled market for ISPs which would create more competition and better faster network. The idea that only certain ISP can operate in any one area is not free market and that is the main issue.
I am all for free and open access to information.
price is booming
The internet needs to be decentralized recent events have shown just how important that is

that's great...
thank's for sharing your news..
Nice information
great analysis of cryptocurrency,very good job,thanks for sharing
great information in this video.@kevinwong.good job.
Excellent post. discussion about cyberbalkanization and substratum, the Internet's Best Solution to Net Neutrality. Thanks for sharing such a good post
wow what an Execillent Video. Good analysis crytocurrency.Good job.Thanks for sharing.....
interesting information
Great post.
liked it
Nice information
Good job bro
great infotmation . it will help alot
wow great,interesting post, I really like
i buy a lot!! very good altcoin!! good project!! x1000 is possible!!
Substratum? Never heard of it but I'm glad you've brought it to my attention! Thank you friend as I'll be checkin' this one out as well. As for ISP's controlling access to information for profit well what else is new on this mud ball we live on. Everything is for the green bottom line right? Shame really. I suppose when the masses find a way off the rat wheel/owners monopoly board we'll see some real change for the better. We've got a long journey ahead but we're makin' head way in my eye's. The way I see it is Gooberment interests are owned by corporations and that is dangerous.................
Finally seeing something which is very important to be honestly after the net neutrality drama that should not happen of course but thanks a lot finally looks like this is the way
