So far I've read 2 of your articles on Medium... I assume they'll expect me to pay or something after the 3rd article? They'll have a long wait. Speaking of... what exactly causes slowness/latency (are they the same thing?)? You say decentralization & anonymity come with inheren

Inherent tradeoffs, but you don't explain why. Why can't we have fast anonymity? Will it be possible in the future?
-
Yeah, I'm trying to opt out of Medium's paywall thing. If you view incognito it may work. Anonymity involves routing requests through multiple nodes which is slower than not. Tor already tries hard to minimize latency for sake of usability. Deep topic, read on I2P and Freenet
-
If we started a fork of the internet from the ground up (is fork the right word?)... could we not engineer it to be anonymous without routing shenanigans? Sorry if I'm expecting you to know too many things.
-
Well, no matter the architecture some machine has to ask some other machine for a file, right? Anonymizing is just distancing yourself from that request, which requires indirection. Basically, I don't think you can get around it.
-
If all data was end-to-end encrypted and stored in shards, the nodes wouldn't know which data you request. All that is known is that you're using a network.
-
Thanx BM. A shard is like, a fragment of a file?
-
yes. There are many projects in that direction, also mentioned Freenet already worked that way. It was slow, but there is probably room for much improvement. Could even be more efficient than the client-server model as large files can be downloaded from multiple sources.

And meshnet? If or is it too limited?
-
I don't know much about them yet, so my high level answer is just that complexity, user education, and latency matter. A meshnet would do well if there is something people want which they can only get on a meshnet

This is exactly the reason why CEX still have a stranglehold over this space. The next best thing are proxy assets/secured "gateways" which people think are decentralized. This space is not ready for a real DEX because there is no need to currently.

"Obviously something has to be decentralized". Obviously.

A month into crypto podcasts, and this seems like the key counter to bitcoin maximalists (who are otherwise very persuasive). The world doesn’t collapse very often.

Couldn't agree more, there ought to be a greater focus on product fit in the crypto sphere:https://twitter.com/DaoChemist/status/1023071933376516096 …
