And infested with shitcoin. Shitcoin was soo, early 2020s. And its even worse, its Musk's dogecoin ilk. What a way to kill a project before even starting it.
It has nothing to do with shit coins or coins at all.. no blockchain

#12This is the Pied Piper decentralized internet idea from Silicon Valley. With about as much technical explanation as the show writers managed. I doubt Gilfoyle would use it.
I guess you read all 20,000 lines of code. By the way it is made in waterloo :)

#13The state of the Internet today is a people problem, not a tech problem, and trying to throw more tech at it won't solve anything.
It is a centralization problem...

#14What even is this? A Linux distro? A text messaging service? An openclaw harness? The readme is such a mess.
No it is not OS like linux it is an OS for a network of computers. Does not care what OS the nodes are runing on

I am looking for people that can read and understand code... not browse readme files :)
Re: I Am Buiding BorgIOS to de-shitify the Internet
#16despite having "OS" in the name, it has nothing to do with operating systems. It's a local node.js app you run, which connects to their own mesh network, and somehow fetches the user data from the P2P mesh. The P2P mesh is supposed to be uniform, "No masters, no workers, no special hardware" - but later in the README, they mention (1) users paying for storage and bandwidth (2) other users hosting the servers at their…
It has everthing to do with operating systems. It provide services for security, storage and compute. It also makes a network look like one system to the user
read the shardTree.js file if you want do know how your files is stored

Which is a people problem! The Internet is already a decentralized network. Anyone can hook up a computer to the Internet and others can immediately access it.
Centralization comes from people building bigger and bigger companies which control bigger percentages of hardware connected to the Internet. Consolidation is the natural order of things: competition is hard, so buy your competitor. If you want to solve / prevent it, then there needs to be incentives for companies to stay small, for there to be multiple companies, and for people to (begrudgingly) want more competition. None of this has anything to do with technology.

Domain names - centralized.
Cloud - centralized.
Platforms - centralized.
Cert Authorities - centralized.
App Stores - centralized.
Search - centralized.

it's a node.js app which you run on your machine and which serves a localhost page with a bunch of services. Not clear which, but "messages", "files" and "streaming" are all mentioned.

you are really not reading jameskilton's comment, are you?
the internet is already decentralized. "Anyone can hook up a computer to the Internet and others can immediately access it". This means: cloud - don't need it, platforms - don't care, app store - why would a webpage need it.
This leaves domain names, cert authorities and search. Decentralized alternative s for all of those exist already, and frankly they are much better than your project.
