On this episode we discuss Qortal, a community driven initiative aimed at making a new, user operated internet that leverages Blockchain's data security.
Rather than focusing on token price and getting on more exchanges like other projects, Qortal focuses on making a usable, decentralized data infrastructure.
The community and even User Interface (UI) harkens back to the vibes behind Torrents, Warez and even mIRC in the 90's-2000s.
To elaborate we brought on one of the founders, Jason Crowe, co-founder of Qortal and long time IT professional.
After listening to this episode you will learn:
- Who the Cipherpunks were and what they stood for
- How the internet was supposed to be free and open but eventually become centrally controlled
- Specific choke points of data and the World Wide Web (WWW) by big entities
- What a block is and why it is needed to form a "Blockchain"
- How Bitcoin began free and open but devolved into cartel control over time
- The downfall of Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS)
- Why most Blockchains are unnecessarily large and cumbersome data sets
- How Qortal was designed for all users to run a full node on modest tech like a Raspberry Pi 4
- Why Qortal doesn't put ALL the data on the Blockchain but instead uses a clever approach with hashes
- How they keep their currently 3 year old Blockchain to a 5-20 GB max file size
- How their upgraded "torrent tech" inspired data network aims for censorship-resistance through this novel approach to data creation
