That new Internet they're building on the show 'Silicon Valley' – yeah somebody is already doing that

Blockstack
Blockstack is a new decentralized internet where users own their data and apps run locally. Take back control over your digital life. A browser portal is all you need to get started.

Dubbed as 'A New Internet for Decentralized Apps' Blockstack claims that the old Internet is broken. Their intent is for a net where applications are server-less and decentralized. Trust is ensured using a public blockchain (yeah… the stuff made famous by Bitcoin).

"Blockchain technology powers this new internet. For the first time ever, you’ll be able to access people, communities, apps, and services built on the blockchain from your browser. This new internet reflects how people interact with each other naturally, as they have for thousands of years. In open marketplaces and societies, people transact directly with other people to offer advice, goods, and services. Human interaction has never needed a middleman. The internet should work how real life works."

They even have a browser coming and examples so you can get up and running locally. Will it take off or fissile like that latest Pied Piper venture… will it rock because of 'middle out' (hehehe) who knows. But the idea is pretty cool.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    This is what I'm talking about! Except I want a new physical network that eliminates centralized ISPs.

    I dunno how we get around ISPs… something needs to connect us. Maybe in large, populated areas some type of mesh network between devices?

    Yes, and maybe private satellites or balloons or something?

    Satellite would have to get much faster. I know people with satellite connections and it's not very performant. There are a bunch of those mini-sats going up though. Not sure how that'll impact things but it is happening.
