Impervious: another blockchain platform, based on lightening network (via @David_MacGregor)
Impervious API: Your portal to the p2p internet
Impervious API is a programmatic layer that sits on top of the Bitcoin Lightning Network, i.e. “Layer 3.” Developers can leverage the Impervious API to easily build secure p2p data transmissions and payments into their applications and services.
1. Truly peer-to-peer (like the Internet was meant to be)
I just got around to checking the status of this and, not surprisingly it didn’t make it’s “public release”. You can though request access which I’ve done.
My thoughts on it so far as I can see … it’s nice as a multi-functional peer to peer app. But seems it would be limited to what the devs put into it as it’s not really a platform for apps like SN - wherein anyone can create apps/websites for it.
I downloaded the MacOS version on the first day of availability and it worked fine. However, for the last two days it won’t launch at all and I get the following message:
Unable to connect
Impervious can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Impervious is permitted to access the Web.
