There is an entire App Store. It is now possible to host apps on Skynet. And, many people are looking at Sia as an alternative to google cloud.
Skynet Twitter handle expresses to be: Just an evil supercomputer looking to mingle.
What Skynet is providing is real security. It is not in any way creating a false sense of security. Beyond all the criticisms, Skynet has grown in strength and they are not able to provide for several everyday needs as published in a Reddit account like: “Handles everything from banking and shopping needs to acting as a platform to meet social needs. These benefits made it easy for us, all of us, to turn a blind eye to what was growing right before us.”
A mention has been made about the monetization protocol of Skynet, which allows for creators and developers to get paid simply by viewing or using that creation from creators. A user who logs in to Skynet through a portal will automatically have access to anything which is available on Skynet as all the payments are handled via the portal.
In this scenario, there could be a portal that consists of several paid tiers and each with a bit better bandwidth than the previous one. And, anytime the user goes to access Skynet via this portal, the portal will be acting on behalf of the user to buy Siacoin to use it to pay the creator or the developer.
Skynet reportedly protects freedom of speech by making it possible for individuals to run a portal of their own. In regular public portals, it is possible for them to censor any unwanted content (illegal, spam, trolls, etc) without actually taking away the users right to say what they are looking to say.
It will be possible for a Skynet user to start their own portal if they feel they are not able to actually express what they want to state due to unnecessary censorship. This makes it possible for them to still be heard by like-minded people at the same time empowering other users to be able to effectively mute them.
There is commonly a comparison happening between Siacoin and Filecoin. For clarity, Filecoin is a decentralized storage network designed to store humanity’s most important information. Obviously, both of them seem to have similar goals and obviously pose as competitors.
The philosophy of Filecoin Foundation is to find methods for the Filecoin community to solve the problems that they face as a community and to help facilitate further collective action.
