Very nice write-up. A critique if I can. This project stands on it's own w/out pandering to the "net neutrality" crowd. I know Synth makes it a point to bring this up often, but a private, decentralized, peer to peer network, doesn't need the cancelling of a gov't program (net neutrality) to justify it. Ever heard of the Patriot Act etc....these are gov't regulation and overreach at their worst, and that includes Net Neutrality.
Prior to 2014 Net Neutrality didn't exist. Do you remember the internet in 2013? Yeah pretty fucking awesome still back then, probably more-so than w/Net Neutrality. About the ISP's "throttling" those who don't have the funds to pay for faster internet. What would that look like? Does it mean that the same money you pay today only gets you 56k? Don't think so, ISP's NEED your business. How else can they spy on you and gather data from the different sites that you visit when it takes you an hour to load one page/send 5 messages on FB Messenger etc. What's wrong w/paying more to get faster internet anyway? I thought this was great! You ever use USPS/FEDEX/UPS? They have this great thing called "expidited shipping". How does it work? Well you pay MORE to get better service. I rather like that ;). Food for thought! Great piece, keep it up!
