For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods

self hosted services that automatically and safely scale to global p2p services is about to happen

Any information about any of those things? I'm quite interested!

I'm the creator of a network protocol (and working implementation :-) that is based on self hosted nodes, that let's you share/link to whatever data, say a html page, a video etc. Encrypted, overshared (so your node doesn't need to be up for your data to be accessible), and decentralised. Based on reciprocal sharing so no money or luck involved.

I'm being bad at promoting it would be an understatement, I would love just contributing to all this obviously coming decentralised sharing.

Cheers

There has been a few attempts; zeronet and one from bittorent themselves that was dropped (I wonder what happened to that).

None of them have been used to create the killer app that has inspired the required network effect for mainstream usage. I guess finding the magic architecture that works and becomes sticky is the key. There are so many ways to do it!

Yup, that's why I'm very excited about it
