sentinel token main purpose is as staking / governance token, the payment utility is only secondary.

>75 SENT/GB means 37 cents per gigabyte already... sounds a bit expensive for the average person or corporate compared to a 3.99$ NORD VPN plan with unlimited bandwidth speed and data usage.
where did you get these numbers ?
main net is not online yet, so there is no real pricing, but you can be sure that it will be cheaper then any other alternative cause it allows for global competition.


>Just a bit perplexed, is there a considerable use case for this coin in corporate?
one of the sentinel main product is the v3 client, which will allow white labeling of the dvpn, any corporate entity will be able to launch their own private network of nodes for their own employees, thus securing communications (which is becoming more and more the default policy)

Discussion with regards to the future:

The Sentinel network will be transitioning from an anonymous underground 'dVPN' project into a real-world organization that has the aim of 'decentralizing the VPN ecosystem'.

The multi-billion Dollar VPN industry is rapidly expanding due to the utility of the VPN in almost every jurisdiction on earth. Whether it is for accessing geo-restricted content or increasing the security of the transmission of data being accessed over the internet, individuals all over the world are demanding for secure, cheap and reliable VPN services.

Sentinel will be working with entrepreneurs and existing organizations to help them establish their own white-labelled VPN company at minimal cost or difficulty.

The question is, why would entrepreneurs want to work with Sentinel?

Painpoints/barriers to entry for a new VPN organization:
1) Cost of client development (mobile/desktop)
2) Management of nodes/handling DCMA requests
3) Potential security threats/risk of getting hacked

Absolutely, this is the entire business model and is why Sentinel will win the dVPN network race.

How can Sentinel help?

1) Free open-source clients available for branding customization

2) Community-based network of node farms (example Alpha) who have the ability to abstract away the difficulties of DCMA mitigation from the VPN companies

3) Provably end-to-end encrypted ?dVPN? network

The responsibilities of the VPN companies include:
1) Legal registration and integration with the on-ramp
2) Proprietary method of customer acquisition (e.g demographically targeted SEO/SEM campaigns)

sentinel will have credit cards integration after main net and people will be able to build white-label apps that accept any payment option

>>20140154
main net will come Q3 this year after the tendermint 3 testnet (with rewards) and after the V3 desktop client release

the nodes are hosted by the community so i guess the answer is in people houses, also prob data centers with spare capacity can host some, point is anybody with idel bandwidth can now sell it on a global market

SENT token will be used to:
-secure sent own tendermint blockchain when main net is launched
-govern protocol upgrades
-payment token
-various secondary use cases
-sent holders will get part of the fees from chain use

SENT should be considered the same as other staking token like tezos and cosmos without it the whole sent stack wouldn't work, cause sent would need to launch on a third party chain that doesn't allow to receive multiple tokens for payments or doesn't to embed the dvpn logic into the chain itself

>>19790525
yeah, it will be free to use till launch of sent main net then full bandwidth monetization will be enabled, allowing anyone to sell their own bandwidth thus undercutting centralized legacy VPNs , sentinel will uberize the bandwidth market making vpns cheaper for consumers and unlocking enormous amounts of untapped value, imagine all the consumers that will be able to sell their bandwidth which previously went just unused

>>19751166
enterprise integration will be made possible, any business corporation bank government or legacy vpn provider will be able to deploy their own sentinel sidechain, with custom dVPN nodes allowing any users or employees to have nodes suited for their needs and with custom pricing or free.
an example of this use case is a corporation setting up a private network & vpn for its own employees that travel abroad so that every bit of communication is encrypted

Sentinel will be working with entrepreneurs and existing organizations to help them establish their own white-labelled VPN company at minimal cost or difficulty.

Enterprise node hosts will be paid in SENT
