An In Depth Interview With the Developer of ZeroNet
ZeroNet the decentralized Internet-like network that uses Bitcoin and BitTorrent technology is a new platform launched in January of 2015. The application is based in Budapest, Hungary and acts as a web host for a network of peer-to-peer pages. Users worldwide can use the open source ZeroNet protocol and begin surfing distributed websites. The platform is not anonymous by default but can be tethered to Tor and used in a private manner. Creator Tamas Kocsis believes the application brings better decentralization to the Internet and has built a system where web pages cannot be censored or....

A little over two years ago a Hungarian named Tamas Kocsis put together a completely decentralized internet alternative called Zeronet. Using the underlying cryptography behind Bitcoin, every Zeronet ‘website’ address is a Bitcoin public key, so any visitors can send bitcoin directly to the site owner, even if they have not set up a wallet yet.....
Quietly, and to little fanfare this week, a new project emerged which may give us an early glimpse of what the internet of the future will look like. Going under the name ZeroNet, it combines torrents, the decentralized system of file sharing, with the cryptography of Bitcoin. The result of that marriage is a system for publishing and editing websites which is entirely decentralized and therefore resistant to both criminal hacking and government censorship. A growing body of computer scientists and engineers are coming to the conclusion that decentralization, with its myriad of benefits in....
Bitcoin.com recently chatted with Bitcoin Unlimited (BU) developer Andrew Stone to discuss the alternative client and the current block size debate. Lately, the cryptocurrency community has been asking who the BU developers are, and what are their qualifications. This interview is meant to shed some light on development and Stone’s opinion of the goals....
ZeroNet, a serverless P2P network that uses Bitcoin cryptography and BitTorrent technology, may be the first real, usable prototype of a decentralized web. BitTorrent users can download files directly from other users, without needing a central server. The BitTorrent technology for distributed file storage and peer-to-peer transfers, one of the biggest developments in Internet technology since the Web itself, opens the way to a distributed, fully decentralized Internet. A decentralized Internet would be much more resilient than today’s framework of central servers, in spite of the....
In a sea of cryptocurrency and altcoins, it can be incredibly difficult to pick and choose which ones to believe in. Without doing the proper research, anyone can be stuck following a hopeless coin. Sometimes people quote CoinMarketCap's figures but there is more to the picture than that. It's well-known that a coin cannot thrive based on the vanilla "economic" value of market cap . Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that has a massive production rate, but a large and active user base to balance it out: Something that Dogecoin's market cap doesn't necessarily inform you of. That's where....
