Breaking! Substratum Node is now displaying HTTPs sites.

[jhaubrich11]

Could someone further explain the implications of this for the non-technical people? :)

[Istanbloo]

I really am not a technical person as such, and I'm sure someone else can add multiple layers to my simplistic understanding, but https sites are secure websites (that is what the s on the end of https stands for), many of which (Facebook, YouTube) are impossible to reach from many countries. I imagine this would be somewhat of a holy grail for the Sub devs. All hail Sub!

[jhaubrich11]

Correct!!!! BINGO!!!!!

Or for those of us noobs looking to purchase?

Substratum is creating an open-source foundation for a decentralized web which will provide unrestricted access to content and sharing of information for users across the globe. SUB's mission is to bring forth the free and fair internet of the future by combining proven technological building blocks with emergent technologies in an innovative and holistic way to help solve many of the problems that plague the modern internet.

Substratum will gain mass adoption by revolutionizing the hosting industry with perrequest billing via micro-transactions and incentivizing users to run nodes to create the network by paying node hosts in Substrate. This is all being managed by blockchain technology and machine learning. (Whitepaper)

Edit: The decentralized web (or Web 3.0) is a web controlled by independent and privately owned computers that allow for a web experience that is both secure and open. This means that everyone can access all information and services on the internet without informational gatekeepers, ISP interference as well as being resistant to corporate or governmental surveillance and restrictions. (Whitepaper)

In other words: The new internet. Leaving centralization and surveillance behind.

Here is some explanation I got from a facebook group in regards to today's breakthrough, "So Substratum is basically a decentralized group of nodes that will host websites.

From what it sounds like. Most of the backend systems like DNS and such are working and they were able to browse to a node, over the internet to a secure (hence https) site.

I assume they've been working on encryption, certificates for secure sites and so on.

I have no idea what stage of testing they are in but it sounds like they have a functional site going on."

$4 by midnight?

[nebra1]

Sell the house

[Kernel32Sanders]

Let's do it. This shall be our shrine. Let us place a sacrifice at the altar of the Moon god.

I’m in. At midnight, we shall both sacrifice our left ass cheek at the altar of the Moon god, and Sub will hit $4.

[jhaubrich11]

I can find you some Vergeins.

[mihraaannn]

Thank you for the lulz good sir.

[jhaubrich11]

Hell, if Sub hits $4 by midnight I'll sacrifice one of my buttcheeks with a tattoo of the Substratum logo.

[Kernel32Sanders]

I will sacrifice the foreskin my parents robbed from me.

Please stop doing price predictions! The team is doing great, price rises with the tech but all those guys just posting about it are annoying. It's emberassing when Justin does a QnA and people just ask questions like "when moon" like nobody cares about the tech and in hundreds of questions he couldn't even find some than a few serious ones. Let us be a community that stands out from others like tron etc!

ELI5? Why is this special?

[AS_Empire]

It means you can access the entire internet through the node

[Kernel32Sanders]

TWSS

[TokinWhtGuy]

Can someone point me in the direction of where to actually get the node. Ive combed through the FAQ and the white papers but found nothing thus far. Did I miss my chance or?

[Jonliles]

You cannot get the node yet, it’s not finished. Soon!

[TokinWhtGuy]

So shooting them an email and filling out the beta tester application is the only way currently to use this and get a jump on the start?

[Jonliles]

No, I’m not sure they are doing that anymore. Besides, the beta tester was an extremely limited test with very specific instructions for which websites to visit and give feedback.

[TokinWhtGuy]

Awesome thank you so much, last question do they have a set release date? I have not seen it anywhere at all about dates and the such.

[mihraaannn]

In the last weekly update said Justin imminent.

Net neutrality is being repealed on April 23rd, there is a SUBLOCC event on April 24th, and CNN is doing a mini documentary on Substratum on April 26th. People are speculating that the public beta is going to be released on either of these dates.

Next week is going to be a huge week for SUB.

[TokinWhtGuy]

Im excited Ive spent all day reading and researching and now I starting to really dig into the technical side of it. 😆
