I need to mention here that I think that these so-called “dual-homed services” will be utterly essential to the rapid spread of maidsafe, so much so that I’m working on (half of) the solution. I think as regards myself and the Klouds team, this will be the culmination of about 2 years work. Basically, it is a hosting provider / borganism of machines designed to place applications on servers suited to run them well, extremely near to the users concerned, and infinitely replicatable to meet the need for “horizontal scaling.”
The web isn’t going to go away, therefore we need to make sure to show the people on the web that other ways are possible.
Below is an off the top of my head list of individual internets…
- Tor Onions
- Freenet
- I2P
- Maidsafe
- Ethereum
- The Internet as defined by 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
- National Splinternets
- Iran
- Pakistan
- North Korea
- China
- Hyperboria
- IPv6 vs IPv4 (soon it will be poor 'net vs rich 'net…)
- Facebook (large enough to be a net unto itself)
And I’m quite confident there are many more, and the problem is this: There is no standardized method for putting information in and getting it back out.
