I like cmccabe's idea, no matter the outcome.
Has anyone else been following (or working for/with) the Dat project?
It's a decentralized p2p protocol for websites:
https://dat.foundation
The basic idea, or inspiration, sounds similar to what's being discussed
here, except the pages are hosted on your personal computer.
They have their own browser, too. It allows you to cruise Dat sites.
If anyone has first-hand knowledge, please share!
