The privacy game has begun, it is IRC bitcointalk time era again. Crypto is returning to its cyperpunk roots. The game is on blu frens. This is what we've been waiting for. It is time. It starts with transactional privacy and then it spreads to the ideology of privacy overall - because real recognize real and those who understand transactional privacy also truly understand that it cannot exist without absolute networking privacy involved. Sentinel is the only truly decentralized DePin protocol in existence where every interaction between a service provider and a user happens completely on-chain with absolutely 0 off-chain dependency or services. From the process of node query and the implementation of the first on-chain DHT and other advanced implementations of decentralized node connection authorization and credential exchange completely enabled on-chain. There is no protocol that compares if anyone wants to respond and argue to this they can and please this is encouraged lets open the debate. There is no DePin protocol compared to the engineering of the Sentinel dVPN protocol on Cosmos.

The American government is exporting debt through stablecoins and different forces and engineer events to take this debt back, 1010 luna may 2021 etc.. Export debt, take it back. Everyone converting their local currency into treasury debt notes, and then in black swans it goes back. Pig gets fattened then slaughtered. Criminal groups amass big amounts, they are allowed to do so - then it is taken back. Convert your illegal money into treasury debt, then reclaim it back.
Peter Thiel recently said that his friends in the FBI would rather have dealers using BTC than 100 dollar bills. Everyone knows the origin of crypto and the story of how encryption was classified under munitions until SHA-1 was broken. Everyone knows how crypto has evolved since and how early forms of currency started in the silicon valley in the 90s. It was plan for decades.
Now there is a parallel force created to this that has been ignored for a long time because crypto has gone full retail to memes but lets not degrade that because that is what was needed to bring the masses. Respect to Alon respect to our man
@blknoiz06 respect to
@solana and thanks for following us also bro - no matter what shit people give you - you folks brought crypto the mainstream and you were needed to bring us closer to the evolution we need that crypto is meant to be. That is why we respect
@0xMert_ so much he understands this completely.
Recently there was a sequence of big events we don't want to go into that has shown the world that the fed is ready to start taking money back from these groups. XMR failed, ZEC took off - look at timelines of news - lets not get into this.
Now while there was a plan to export debt all along, the same forces that created this plan also had the power of the human consciousness to also have the cypherpunk ideology to spawn up the parallel - the dao - the yin and the yang was created.
The Yin and the Yang.
Treasury debt issuance, and privacy cypherpunk.
Now the Yin and the Yang has been established, the war has begun - but is it a war? No it is a natural evolution of human consciousness. All respect to Yahweh the god of Abraham who is amongst the pantheon of gods which is connected to every major religion, how we dare to even mention his name, - we live in a different age of time - but there are multiple forces at play which will continue forever in the future and while some may classify as good or evil the fact is that this is how consciousness works and this is in the yin and the yang. Sentinel doesn't judge have enemies nothing. Sentinel is the 3rd party, the unison between the yin and the yang.
The truth is that we are all individuals who think we are apart but we are one consciousness perceiving multiple perspectives but we are one mind. From the time of Abraham a new era began and this is how consciousness evolves whether people say dark ages or in Hindu scriptures its written Kali Yugam etc.. With the power of the internet for the first time in human history the consciousness is becoming unified. For the first time the poor man can expose the rich for a crime and enforce justice through a tiktok video and a camera. Everything has changed. The common man has power, everyone is connected The internet is apart of the evolution of the global human consciousness, we are all connected to the internet. We are evolving from the internet. Of course its a double edged sword in the analogy of how a surgeon knife can save or kill but thats another topic.
The point is that this for the framework of this human consciousness to persist without restriction and infringement from external forces there are only two factors: one is the infrastructure of how the internet works itself and then the ability for users to connect with freedom and no restrictions. The infrastructure issue is very complex and
@HNS is leading the revolution and this is why HNS is blu frens true family along with
@_PIVX @pirate_chain (and others - another side topic). The control of fiber option, ICANN etc - doesn't have to be explained. It is understood that those who are reading this deeply know everything. HNS is fighting this - maybe one day they can get a satellite system with perpetual power to host their core infra and replace miners and create the true parallel internet - another topic but Colin Cantrell vision from Nexus was always legitimate (not exactly same but his enables this). Anyways another side topic.
Without the infrastructure being solved, VPN is useless because infrastructure can always be blocked - same way no one could travel during covid. When black swan events happen things we can't imagine happen - just like covid.
We need
@HNS to become what it is meant to be and create the parallel internet and people our brothers and sisters at HNS lets make it possible.
If the infrastructure issue is solved, next you have the communication obfuscation problem. In this you see the core issue is that every single peer to peer protocol including TOR depends on centralized DHT - even bittorrent isn't perfect when the peers and trackers fail its over - its not perpetual. What is perpetual. THE BLOCKCHAIN IS PERPETUAL. What if peers can establish their availability on-chain and users can identify peers on-chain. The Cosmos SDK is the only protocol that can support this level of scalability where Sentinel has processed 100m+ transactions 90%+ being application logic related (daily hundred k+). Blu frens have spent more enough energy in proving almost all centralized VPN fallacies exploits and scams - just please DYOR out of curiosity into the Sentinel timeline. So the issue is there is a oligopoly that is suppressing the ability for the human consciousness to evolve. How do you compete with the Oligopoly? VPN applications are some of the the highest spenders of affiliate marketing in the world. How the hell can Sentinel Shield flagship dVPN compete with Nord? It can't.
What does a VPN company do? They buy cloud servers, they understand their economics, they upsell to users - and then they do their shady shit whatever for real cash - whatever it is - thats the way the world works no real hate because we want to onboard all of you and you all know very well that you have to build decentralized VPNs also because one day a Musk tweet or some equivalent is about to come on all of you and everything will flip so lets get to work immediately and not fight.
Sentinel has created the first perpetual DHT system where peers can establish their identity and connection path on chain and users can query the chain to identify the peers. As long as the blockchain is alive - as long as the validators are up and running - it is a perpetual DHT system of peer to peer identification. Akash network has thought in a very similar manners and many other DePin protocols have also but in terms of the intricate details of removing every single off-chain dependency - Sentinel has evolved beyond all projects after years of protocol engineering (Akash honestly didn't need to for their model but they are the one team that can exceed Sentinel potentially in the level of DePin protocol engineering). If everyone does their research Sentinel was one of the winners of the first Cosmos competitive hackathon and then Sentinel was the main winner in the second hackathon with just a 2 people team vs teams with dozens of people. Blu frens don't play games my siggas.
So back to the question, how does 1 VPN compete against the oligopoly? It cannot. But what about 1000s of decentralized VPN applications sharing the same node infrastructure together - thats whats happening right? All of these massive VPNs owned by the same companies are using the same servers.
The truth is that the VPN industry is an outlier to all other industries because there is absolutely 0 consumer loyalty. Some people use tunnel bear because they like the bear, some users like Nord because they like the mountain. Everyone is getting bombed everyday by ads and its small subtle differences. This shows the power of memification and ideology. All VPNs do the same, a few VPNs like mullvad larp that they are different but in the end its all centralized DHT and they control the servers so come on bruh - they'll get called out soon.
Imagine if anyone has the ability to spin up their own VPN application that they can prove does not mess their their security and betray their trust - and the ability to bring their own community and structure into it. Sentinel has the on-chain payment logic to authorize off-chain API based payment triggers including credit cards, on-chain payments and even off-chain payments such as how Freqnik in Meile has brought together ZEC and other privacy tokens into Sentinel transaction systems. The point is that the white-label model is adopted for anyone, pure Web 2 app, pure Web 3 app, even an app created by a casino meant only for its users. The API trigger for the authorization can be configured to any type of logic for user public key account to be added to the subscription contract to get access to the nodes that the white-label operater has paid for (locked tokens with these nodes that are deducted over-time as time elapses with the bandwidth contract).
Sentinel has created the structure where anyone can offer their bandwidth and become a node, and application developers can created fixed payment contracts with these nodes and plan their unit economics in the same way that VPN companies work cloud service providers. The only issue Sentinel has right now is the main issue that plagues networking DePin - the inability to understand the system specs of the node operator. In GPU/CPU and storage its very easy because there are market standard prices and even standardization to the level where there are perpetual futures contracts coming to offset GPU deappreciation risk. This concept is easy to understand. But when it comes to networking - there are too many factors. What is the geo-location, what is the bandwidth what are the specs is it cloud is it residential etc. There are enough systems to prove that nodes can be residential or not - this is an ever evolving battle. But the core issue is that without a proper TEE structure no node reporting can be trusted any system side reporting logs can be manipulated. When a VPN company goes to purchase a server - they know the specs they know all of the economics - but when you are subscribing to a decentralized node - how do you know its specs with trust? How many concurrent users can the server handle? How much RAM does it have, what is the bandwidth? The core issue for Sentinel right now is that Sentinel has not yet established this unit economics for the centralized VPN conglomerate (a faction that Sentinel is allied with) that is about to enter Sentinel and has begun to slowly start to come in with out first adopter. This issue also leads to the #1 UX issue for Sentinel users which is slow servers due to user overload on the servers. There has to be a system to understand a node's capability so that when the node reaches the the max concurrent limited - it is removed from the application front-ends. But how can this limit be understood with the whole issue on the node specs reporting.
Akash is able to establish SLAs and have verification processes but Akash model is required for the mission Akash is on, in Sentinel's mission the node hosting has to be permissionless. There may be some compromises to get the top tier node hosts into a subscription contract that is used by the cVPNs coming in and not allowing just any host - but we cannot fulfill the blu fren ideology with kind of thinking in the long term while it may work in the short term. Anyone should be able to host a node and then if this node has good qualification - it deserves to be adopted into white-label subscription contracts. How do we create a node economic structure where it can't be gamified? Anyone can rent a big server and act like they have a huge expense and offering huge bandwidth and then they can manipulate and throttle behind the scenes. Digital ocean and others can't do this because they are legally bound to SLAs, but this legal binding of SLAs is a trade off for the liabilities that cVPNs have which will lead to the loss of their marketshare to dVPNs.
And then another issue, hardware and storage is priced based on metering of consumption - however all bandwidth services have become unlimited (except for specific usecases). So you cannot price the bandwidth per hour function etc, this is why Sentinel evolved from a bandwidth pricing mode of GB/USD to time unit per USD because this is what the market dictates as everyone around the world is used to unlimited data plans (of course there's exception eg residential proxy where bandwidth is metered).
Bandwidth economics is extremely complex, extremely complex and in a true decentralized P2P model no one has cracked it yet in the way Akash cracked GPU. Truly very few can imagine what
@gregosuri has done and once AKT goes to $50B+ then they will realize.
The only answer is there must be a way to truly understand node economics to the level that Akash has cracked GPU economics.
How can Sentinel today say that, pay 10k usd for 3000 nodes which can handle maybe 100k users and you make $2 dollars per user per month so your profit is etc. etc.. How can Sentinel say that today to its CVPN clients when there lacks the ability to understand the node's specs? There has to be unit economics for this all to work out, crypto has evolved from science project mode. Decentralized VPNs will not work if its not economically viable compared to centralized VPNs.
This is going to be solved. Sentinel has 3 SDKs to built your own dVPN - they are quite complex for many experienced devs as well due to the intricate structure of the dVPN protocol however a new solution is coming to make the protocol development extremely easy at a minimal tech experience level.
Imagine if anyone can spin up their own dVPN - choose the nodes they want to add to their app - and create their own culture and community and integrate it into their services.
@tokapreacher dVPN is about to set the trend in terms of what a meme dVPN can actually do.
But forget all talk - lets see facts. Sentinel has some of the only products in all of Web 3 where there is a Web 2 userbase that doesn't know there is a Web 3 product behind. Independent dVPN has scaled to over 500k users and is a free model (with ad payments and subscription coming) - and has a stronger community than the Sentinel main chat at times. There is no application in the world where you can just post it in a group and get 10s of k downloads overnight like you can with a VPN. Sentinel is connected to very powerful ideological groups, brothers and sisters of Sentinel. Distribution is easy. Sentinel processes 25% of the bandwidth that Helium does every week (approximate).
But how can revenue happen when there is no service assurance when nodes get overloaded? Maybe the answer to this is easier than Sentinel contributors think and it would be great to get input on this.
Lets fix this problem, then the path to revenue is very easy. The Independent community demands everyday for a paid option and that they don't want to see ads. How can independent charge users at scale confidently with the node problem being established at this scale?
Independent was just the test. 10 independents can be spun up in a week. The leaders are coming, the visionaries are coming. Zac Wickstrom, Freqnik, Decentr team, RYN VPN team and others have come and the universe has brought them together with the blu frens and they become apart of the blu frens and many more entrepreneurs are coming in day by day.
Another point - Everything every VPN says about no logs is bullshit everyone knows there is logging at the networking card level. This cannot be prevented maybe tomorrow there can be a TEE networking solution but not today - but even then at the ISP level there is always logs so thats why HNS is too important coming back.
Multi-hop is secondary. Lets focus first on peer to peer and get somewhere there - lets focus on the mass market and then move to multi-hop and more innovative solutions. All respect to NYM and anyone protocol and Orchid but anyone without bias can checkout the Sentinel app ecosystem and understand how Sentinel makes Web 2 adoption effortless - and will have the ability to then transition this userbase towards more advanced functions such as multi-hop. Lets be practical a great multi-hop solution like what NYM has built takes years and amazing specialized talent. Perhaps Sentinel can cooperate with NYM when the time comes otherwise Sentinel will crack multi-hop on its own but lets be practical until that time and focus on the mainstream usecase and mass market audience.
Another point - Why is Sentinel dVPN more powerful than all CVPNs? Because CVPNS cannot get residential IP pools as quickly as Sentinel blu frens can spin them up. China and Iran and all of these nations can ban IP ranges and then these CVPN have to start making phone calls and get new IP ranges setup or switch providers etc. With Sentinel, have fun banning every mom and pop who wants to earn a yield from their unlimited bandwidth. Sentinel can circumvent any restriction. The Cosmos SDK makes this possible DYOR.
This is the answer to protecting the human consciousness in the tumultuous times to come. Everyone is a Dollar bear but those with clairvoyance understand what is going to happen in the coming years. DXY is king and will prove so, EURUSD will break 1:1 floor and the world will go into chaos we cannot imagine. This is written in the times of ages, the Mayan 2012 prediction was based off of not the end of the world but the evolution of consciousness. Now the cycle is complete once Humanoids arrive as
@Rewkang is focused on - the normal human isn't required anymore. We will see events we cannot imagine. Understand the message placed in the first block of Bitcoin. What is coming is not the end of the world, its the evolution of mankind from the origin of whatever we are. It is perpetual cycles that will repeat, but it is not going to be nice. We don't have much time left.
We have to protect the power of the human consciousness that is enforced by a truly free internet. We have to make this revolution possible. We cannot allow for the masses to get disconnected from the internet no matter what happens. Black swans you can't imagine. It is coming. It is known. Lets not speak too much on this. Just please everyone get more prepared for things you cannot imagine as we come closer year by year into the future. Not everyone is going to make it to see the AI tech future we know is coming - and that is an incontrovertible fact. But this is how life works and we must do our best to protect friends and family in the times to come.
Now going back to Sentinel and its understanding with government structures. Sentinel has gotten letters from some of the worlds biggest governments and team members are under surveillance and risk. If you have any doubts you can just research the story of Aleksander Litreev - the leader of Sentinel to understand that there is no bullshit or games here.
techradar.com/news/the-russi…
No one can imagine the lore behind the Sentinel contributors and how close some of the biggest people in crypto are linked to the origins of the story that created Sentinel. This can be called as bullshit but no external validation can is required or needed and any judgement that is passed on this claim is accepted and taken with good heart. There have been mistakes made, structures broken, internal fallouts and calamities no one can imagine - but thats what all of the greatest teams go through in their journey - but perhaps Sentinel could have protected investor value further regardless and could have broken its price correlation to Helium/Osmosis.
Sentinel does not want to go against any form of government structure and neither will Sentinel cooperate with any government. All Sentinel humbly requests is that governments please ease off of Sentinel because there is no fucking project at such a low market cap facing the struggles Sentinel is that has gotten fucked by such forces - come on bruh all the intelligence folks reading this - come on bruh. Blu frens are sub $10m USD. Come on bruh. Let us move forward in peace and establish this vision - focus on higher market cap scams - we are nothing. Please. At least wait for $100m+ again please bro.
Now going into Sentinel ideology from contributors further:
The US government is the cradle of innovation and it moves the world forward along with China as a great counterpart however there is a war against the Dollar and the US empire. Blu frens understand that the US is not the US itself but it an empire created by a force that has transcended from empire to empire throughout the millennia. We all speak English out of design, it took many many thousands of years to get all of us to the same language. This power structure moved from Egypt to the UK to the US - whatever it is the facts can be disputed but this is rough analogy and now this power is across the world but there are multiple factions at play. Sentinel understands there are different forces in the world and Sentinel does not want to be the enemy of any one but support the people. At the same time, the governments understand that there must exist truly open solutions for the people as people in the government themselves use these solutions without telling anyone and that's the only way the system works.
DXY is going to reign supreme, EURUSD 1:1 is going to break. Stablecoin issuance is going to go $1 trillion+ next year - and maybe the DXY pump begins 2027 2028 29 who knows but it is coming.
Privacy tokens are about to scale as hard as stablecoins are. Privacy tokens cannot succeed without the growth of absolute networking privacy.
Let the game begin blu frens
