The Blockchain Magic: Φ Free Anonymous Internet

A group of developers has tapped the key advantages of the block chain – anonymity and decentralized information – and married them with the expansive content sharing power of the Internet to offer a Free Anonymous Internet (FAI). To signify the uniqueness of this FAI system, the developers have designated it as “Φ.”

Block chain technology makes the self-supporting of a peer-to-peer (P2P) system possible with interaction, storage, communication, accounting and currency. These are the foundations of the Internet that are running nowadays in a centralized way. Block chain technology may become the basis of a second generation Internet that enables these functions in a decentralized manner, unleashing a new level of freedom for personal and business activities.

The mission of the FAI project is to build a prototype infrastructure for a fully P2P-based Internet, giving ultimate freedom and anonymity. With the FAI framework and API, all existing Internet services can be built on this system in a P2P way. The Φ database system is based on block chain technology.

The Φ system is designed with an Infrastructure-API-Applications framework. This framework enables plug-and-play of unlimited new applications. Serverless dynamic websites become possible, which is what Φ is all about.

Φ is now available for all who want to venture into the realm of anonymous content sharing, including (but not limited to) browsing, messaging, marketing, currency management (including a cryptocurrency wallet) and cryptocurrency mining.

How The Φ Network Works

The Φ network has no centers. Every node in the Φ network is equal. Users can communicate point-to-point or broadcast and relay Φ information.

Because of the cascade spreading of Φ information in the Φ network, there’s no way to block, censor or modify Φ information. It is also extremely difficult to track the origin of Φ information.

No Φ information can be deleted, because every node in the Φ network has a full copy of the Φ database.

Any digital device can join the Φ network by following the basic Φ network protocol. Many kinds of apps can run on the Φ network, even without a server.

There’s always only one valid version of the Φ database in the network while many node/digital devices keep a full copy of it.

True ‘Decentrality’

Φ information goes into the Φ database after Φ miners confirm it. The database requires a digital signature from the sender of the Φ information so that no one else can modify the Φ information, i.e., the Φ information will be stored in the Φ database as what it is forever.

Because of the “decentrality” of miners, there’s no way to block any valid Φ information going into Φ database.

Because everybody has exactly the same copy of Φ database, there are no ways to know what data a user has browsed. Ultimate anonymity is ensured.

The Φ database is open for any kind of digital information, including not only text, image, and video, but also programs, settings, operation commands, etc.

Φ Currency Based On Bitcoin

The Φ currency system is based on Bitcoin technology. The Φ currency is published and distributed independently on the Φ system. It has no relationship with traditional currencies, so it’s independent of any traditional banking and financial system.

Any Φ account can receive and send Φ currency. Naturally, the Φ currency system inherits the freedom and anonymity of the Φ account.

A unique advantage of the Φ currency system is that the currency transaction is processed together with information and operation commands on the Φ system. It is easy for merchants or app developers to integrate currency functions into their programs.

Key Φ Advantages

The key advantages of Φ are:

• Ultimate freedom. Content can NEVER be deleted, locked, modified or censored. Once published, it is accessible from anywhere.
• Ultimate anonymity. No real world personal data is needed. The footprint is untraceable.

The main functions of Φ are publishing information and browsing. For every transaction output, Φ adds a content field, enabling contents to publish to the Φ block chain.

Publishing content on Φ does not need any registration as with a centralized website or mobile app. The content is uncensored. No one can delete or modify content, including the publisher once the Φ network confirms the content.

All information on the Φ block chain remains public to every Φ browser. But browsing on Φ leaves no trace of the information that has been browsed because every peer has a full copy of the whole block chain.

A Truly Open Network

Since every piece of content has a publisher address – a public key – it is possible for anyone accessing the content to post to it.

A home page on Φ actually works as a decentralized Facebook or twitter account since all content published by an address is listed.

Anonymous Chatting

Φ enables anonymous chatting by AES encryption with a shared-key derived from the sender’s and receiver’s keys. Since the message is relayed by the Φ network, there is no direct connection between the sender and the receiver. Meanwhile, similar to publishing contents, sending or receiving a message on the Φ system does not require registration. Hence, the Φ messenger keeps the highest possible anonymity.

Decentralized Commerce

As for commerce, Φ shop is the first in history that carries the information flow and cash flow in the same system. A user can publish any product, receive any order, and even receive payment in real time with the same Φ account.

The Φ accounting system is based on asymmetric cryptography, specifically, ECDSA technology

Each user can create a unique Φ account by himself/herself. A Φ account is a private key – name key (public key) pair. Namekey represents the Φ account and digital signatures signed by private key proofs the control of the Φ account and triggers digital operations.

A Φ account is fully owned and controlled by the user only. No website, organization, or government is able to access Φ accounts.

The absence of any link between a Φ account and real-world personal information ensures ultimate anonymity.

The Φ account is free. The zero cost to create, possess, use and abandon as many Φ accounts as needed ensures ultimate freedom.

Φ accounts are compatible with all kinds of digital systems and are easy to implement. “One account for any app” will become true in the near future.

Decentralized Domain

A Φ domain is similar to ICANN domains, but without any central registrar. A Φ domain has more freedom and flexibility, as can redirect to a Φ ID, a Φ link or even a normal http link.

With a Φ domain, an avatar, an alias or an intro can be set to an account in a manner that is more user-friendly than a clunky IP address.

Users can receive Φ coins by setting up a Φ account.

The Φ wallet includes basic wallet functions like balance and transaction history.

By contributing computing power to help confirming transaction on the Φ network, a miner will receive a transaction fee as an incentive.

The Φ system includes a standard web browser which functions as a normal browser.
Other Φ features include:

• Weighted multisig: Multisig is enhanced by adding signature weight to each address.
• Block chain link: A link points to any content on the block chain, identified by block height, nTx and nVout.
• Vout lock time: Each vout has individual lock time.
• Mempool entrance threshold: When the mempool is full, it enables an entrance threshold of fee rate.
• Mempool tx override: When a tx is stuck in mempool without enough fee to be collected in new blocks, the sender or receiver can add a fee and override the old tx.
• Off chain service: More centralized service such as off chain instant messenger and cloud storage can develop in the near future.
• New POW hashing algorithm: A new algorithm incompatible with Bitcoin or Litecoin ASICs.

There is currently a Windows version available for downloading. To avoid alt-coining, source code will be published after its user number reaches 1000.

To take advantage of the promotion, send your Φ address to [email protected] to get free 10 Φ coins which allows publishing of 10KB long content to the Φ block chain.
