so how is this different from GNUnet or I2P or Yggdrasil or all the solutions for this that already exist

The name just makes me think of how in Mega Man Battle Network 3 “Alpha” was the original Internet but it became cancerous, turned everything into a shapeless blob and had to be sealed away and replaced with a new Net.
Damn the DataKrash from cyberpunk is just stolen MegaMan lore?
If it happened because the Internet was just buggy lol, though I like to interpret Alpha as a metaphor for the general rot we’re seeing play out now.
More the part about the original net being partioned from the new net.
Isn’t this just duplicating the work of something like I2P or Hyphanet (formerly know as Freenet)?
Edit: apparently Monero as well? (see: “9 Payment System (L6)”)
*yawn* BetaNet? Wake me up when they have LigmaNet.
Tried for longer than I should have to wrap my brain around how “X25519-Kyber768” is quantum resistant.
Project looks neat though, fwiw.
This hash is proof against quantum code breaking, on the basis that nobody has a quantum computer yet.
“nobody”
I know theres some experimental machines out there in like universities and stuff, but aren’t they still just poking around with like a singular q-bit before it decays again?
“Fastest” private machines are >1000 at the moment. NSA/CIA “gave up” trying to crack sha2 with a quantum machine in/before 2016.
They already exist, this is already a “post-qunatum” environment.
huh
so are these things just not as effective as was hypothesized, or do researchers still not really know how to use them? A little of both?
I haven’t read into this yet, how is the approach different to I2P?
Crypto? No thanks
I know you’re probably joking, and I’m not trying to endorse this project as I haven’t really formed an opinion on it yet, but I want to emphasize that cryptography is actually a good and valuable technology, even though cryptocurrency is not.
No I understand, but as far as I understand cryptocurrency is part of the “legalistic” side of this project right? That was just the impression I got from the video
Oh, possibly so, I just skimmed through the linked document briefly, so you may well be right, my apologies
