Introduction

Thanks for having me! I came here from a forum link over on the anarplex onion site. I guess my main interest is building a parallel, privacy-centric Internet. Building a vibrant crypto-economy is a vital component of that goal...what I guess you'd call a Crypto-Tribe but I'm not 100% certain what that means.

I know a number of endeavours already exist to build a second Internet. Jan Jan posted about one: https://bbs.anarplex.net/showthread.php?tid=80

I've spent a long time thinking of ways to do this on a shoe-string budget, in ways that exploit the resources of Big Tech and which are easy for non-technical people to duplicate. I wish projects like parallela.net, parallela.io all the best, but they're not something that just anyone could duplicate. They are necessarily centralized by their reliance upon highly specialized fields of expertise.

Generally I'll be plugging a different approach (and hopefully networking with people who want to get involved in the specifics of it with me). It's hackish, manually driven, and combines old-school with new-school. I other words it better matches the temperment of cyberpunk.

welcome @tinfoilhat. May you find people here that join you on your path to a "second internet" (whatever that really means, I kinda like IPv4/6 as it is :) ).

I kinda like IPv4/6 as it is

Eh, not me. It's way too Big-Brother for my liking. The alternatives are still in the embryonic stages though. Things like mesh networks for example could offer a viable alternative. But the mistake is thinking that it's strictly a matter of new technology. The technology is useless without mass adoption.

I'm fashioning a different approach that's more social in nature and it's more within the realm of non-technical people. I'll post it later once I'm finished trimming it down from the wall of text it started as.

I'll post links to a couple of my boards too if that's okay.

Firstly, thank you guys for the having me.
Here is a little bit about me…

So hey guys, I’m for real stoked about finding and joining. I listen to a lot of different music including but not limited to melodic viking metal, red dirt country. I actually listen to music on a song by song basis, every genre (excluding mumble rap) has at least 1 good song.

So skills wise, I'm pretty much a jack of all trades across the board, and not the best at anything. I am totally competent at network design, Linux system admin, I have been playing with some SDR recently as well.

Anyhoo, I love what y'all are doing here so far.
Thanks again and I’ll be seeing ya’ll
