PIA VPN just blocked in Hong Kong

[Anonymous No.15531151]

PIA VPN was just blocked in HK. This is just the start of increased nation state censorship as the protests escalate.

As more and more nation states block, censor, log traffic, and restrict internet access, decentralized networks will grow in usage and adoption:

• China - billions of people behind The Great Firewall - all VPNs must be approved and comply with government regulations. Many website are censored and blocked.

• Russia - centralized VPN providers are now required to give access to Russian authorities and ban access to websites censored by the government.

• Turkey - VPN banned, popular websites blocked, and independent journalists jailed.

• United Arab Emirates - many sites and services are censored and blocked.

Now, how can you profit off this trend?

Everybody knows about Sentinel dVPN. Regardless of your feelings about the SENT shills here, the usecase is a welcome advancement in developing a decentralized VPN network. Very low market cap ($5M), working product, and privacy suite has the potential for exponential yields.

Orchid Protocol has raised over $48 million to develop a similar dVPN network. They have the backing of the big boys: Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, DFJ, Blockchain Capital, etc. Will be interesting to see once they have a working product and what market cap they launch with. Follow this one closely.

Privatix, MYST, Lethean are not seeing much life, but can pump with the trend. Can potentially offer some nice returns if played correctly.

Keep using centralized VPNs that log/sell your data and are forced to follow local laws and censorship. Nothing wrong with having more privacy options.

Why do these dvpn networks need a native token? Why can’t you just pay in any currency via smart contract that charges based off of your use time while running checks confirming that your data has not been logged?

[Anonymous No.15531213]

>>15531201
Sentinel does this - you will be able to pay with any token the dVPN node host will accept. You will be able to pay with BTC, ETH, Monero, etc. Not sure about Orchid, but the rest like MYST and Lethean all use a native ERC token for payment.

[Anonymous No.15531230]

Loading up on SENT at these prices is a no brainer. BTC faked everybody out and there was a nice sell off. Had my order filled at 1100 vits.

[Anonymous No.15531238]

>>15531213
So you just need sent in order to host a dvpn node?

[Anonymous No.15531299]

>>15531238
No SENT is required for hosting a node. The Sent token will be used for staking and validating the network so you can earn a % of each transaction on the network. So if an end user pays with BTC, you will get a % paid out in BTC. I believe they mentioned in the Telegram group that they are working on a fiat on ramp, so SENT tokens may be used for that as well.

[Anonymous No.15531320]

>>15531238
There are no token requirements to be a host with SENT. There will be two types of hosts: relay nodes and exit nodes.

Privatix, MYST, Lethean have working products, but they force the use of their native token as payment. In order to gain mass adoption, the user experience needs to be as frictionless as possible.

No one is forced to host a node. It doesn't "give" anybody equality. Just like nobody is forcing you to mine BTC if you want to use it.

>By electing or forcing a new one that isn't corrupt
Hahaha this is gold anon. Yes, just tell HK to elect a new government. Just tell Turkey to quit it and stop jailing whistleblowers and journalists. Just tell China to stop harvesting organs of dissidents. Easy. Just elect a new government. Why didn't I think of this before.

Anon, I am sorry to hear about your disability. Your delusions are pretty entertaining though.

>Sorry m8 then its not really decentralized
So the only decentralized networks are the ones that force you to be an exit node? No distinction between everyday end-users and distributed service providers / infrastructure? No such thing as capitalist incentive to provide bandwidth and relays to those that need it?

>Then go to war faggot

we must decentralise everything. destroy their ability to print money. we must kill every statist and their families. everyone who works for the state will face their inevitable fate and executed as traitors to humanity. we will dig through the internet archives and track down every person who made a post attacking decentralisation and genocide them.

we will release ross ulbricht and make him king of bitcoin. we will visciously sexually rape and abuse every central banker and their corrupt descendants with a huge robotic fist.
