What is Substratum General News Development Updates Show and Tell- The Team is currently working on… Estimated V1 release

Hey guys. At first- I’m not a member of the Substratum team. I wanted to share my information about general news, tweets from the Substratum development team throughout the week, and from weekly “Show and Tell”. All information are public. This is a summary. Every source has it’s link, so you will be directed to the original tweet, github-code or document.

For newbies- a short coverage of what Substratum is:

1. What is Substratum

Substratum is developing an open-source foundation for the decentralized web, providing free, unrestricted, and uncensored access to content for a new Web 3.0

The Substratum Network is a worldwide collection of nodes that uses industry-leading cryptography to deliver secure content anywhere, all without the need for VPNs or Tor

Everybody can host a node with a normal PC and help growing the network

You can help all the people who are not able to join websites (e.g. China, Iran …) with your Node, they can see all restricted with the help of network

You will be rewarded with Substratum-Tokens for your participation

The SUB- Dev-Team seems to deliver very fast. As you can see in the following text, the Substratum-Node release is getting closer (see section 4). The Node will include security and monetization. You will be able to earn cryptocurrency.

All commits were uploaded to Github and can be found here. https://github.com/SubstratumNetwork/SubstratumNode

3. Development Updates

The Substratum Devs are very active on twitter, spreading their updates through it. I’m aware most people don’t have twitter. That’s why I made these weekly articles. Here the relevant tweets from week 11. Mar 11–17.

Mar. 11 B.J. Allmon

Tweet: Happy Monday! The $SUB dev team completed some work in order to ensure Node starts up reliably after the first time. There were some situations where it wouldn’t.

Mar. 12 Dan Wiebe

Tweet: @sswing just led us through a design session about switching from Ethereum to Stellar, should we decide to go that direction. Interesting tradeoffs. More complexity, but also much smaller latency and fees.

Tweet: SubstratumNode is designed to be able to handle long multihop routes. In the code, you can see an Eight-Hop Routing Test. It’s surely an overkill, but yes it can do. BTW, traditional VPN and even the so called decentralized VPN can only handle one hop 😂 #Substratum #SUB 👍
