Veilid Presentation @ DEFCON

Medus4 & DilDog from Cult of the Dead Cow and hackers dot town’s founder are making something really fucking neat.

“Veilid (pronounced Vay-Lid, from “Valid and Veiled Identification”)

“We built Veilid because when the Internet was young and new, we viewed it as an endless and open realm of possibility.

“Instead, the Internet we know now has been heavily commercialized, with users and their data being the most sought-after commodity. The only ways to opt-out of becoming the product for billionaires to exploit are either too technical for the average user, or to simply not go online.

We believe that people should be able to forge relationships, learn, create, and build online – without being monetized.”

I understand somewhere right around 19% - 30% of much of this, but from what I get this project might shake something up. What if “the cloud” what what I thought it was gonna be in 2004, minus all traces of all that etherium dog shit?
