As Bitcoin opened the way as a traditional cryptocurrency after its inception in 2009, many 'altcoins & # 39; were founded on the foundation of its success. They all claim to be superior in one way or another to the most popular de facto option. In this case, Skycoin pushed it further and built a multi-layered project around their currency; claiming, in fact, to have "built the new Internet."
"The World Wants Better Cryptocurrency"
The team says that in 2012 they decided that the world deserved better cryptocurrency, "and in using Satoshi's "original vision" for Bitcoin (decentralized on thousands of computers), has built a crypto with increased speed and security. Skycoin was born and used to "power the new Internet", known as Skywire, where users can pretend to browse securely and privately. This is in turn related to Skyminer, an "energy-saving miner" used to deploy Skywire.
For simplicity, Skywire is described as an "anonymous and decentralized Internet Internet network". ] free, instant and infinite transactions . & # 39; And Skyminer is the & # 39; Internet access point that pays you for bandwidth . & # 39; & # 39; Excitingly, recent developments with Skyminer have enabled a Net Neutrality solution; With 300 units to ship worldwide, it will enable a "user-controlled" internet unaffected by net neutrality . & Nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Skycoin promises high performance without excessive power requirements and allows users to benefit from much faster Internet speeds All of this binds together to form Skycoin's next self-proclaimed step " in the evolution of digital currency & # 39; and make digital money accessible to all consumers, not just a select few.
After downloading the wallet, users can earn Skycoin (total supply of 100mln) by distributing services on Skywire, such as running hardware nodes and distributing bandwidth and storage and spending them while consuming media or other resources. , creating an incentive mesh network that becomes more robust with each user.
Confidentiality and Data Security
This Skyminer development was created n created to rally the aforementioned FCC net neutrality issues, where it was decided that the government could follow and sell information on consumer buying habits. Skycoin claims to remove control of these ISPs and send it back to a user-managed community, which can navigate without data being collected and passed on to third parties. Skycon clearly expresses their feelings in a statement on their website:
"We need Skywire more than ever.The failure of the FCC to promote net neutrality means that the big Internet access providers will continue to tighten their grip until they are able to freeze on the Internet, and the costs will increase – limitation, censorship and manipulation may become the norm. " will have less power than they ever had because their browsing data, privacy and individuality are bought and sold by companies in search of profit. "
Reinsurance of the Skycoin Team Bitcoin and Ethereum developers have also boosted consumer confidence As privacy and data security become more and more pressing issues, consumers are looking for ways to protect themselves personally and financially online. Thanks to the peer-to-peer community of Skycoin, it seems that many have found the solution by running nodes in exchange for access to the media. In the absence of so common transaction fees on cryptographic platforms and security against attacks Proof of Labor / Involvement, the platform intends to honor its promises to build "the new Internet"
