A New Landscape of Decentralized Media

"...the 1M5 protocol is now used to support a growing number of applications. The first project to use the protocol is Inkrypt, a startup emerging from Harvard Innovation Labs. Inkrypt aims to publish content in a distributed way, by fragmenting the hosting and delivery of information so that it cannot be blocked or censored. This makes the content permanent and immutable in the decentralized database. By using Inkrypt, journalists, authors and other individuals can protect themselves while avoiding censorship or prosecution by those they may speak against (e.g China). Inkrypt writes:
The current centralized internet architecture is prone to censorship, breach and latency, and nations all over the globe use these shortcomings to censor content. We believe in a truly free internet where anyone has the ability to anonymously publish and store content without risk of censorship...
Another emerging decentralized application is SalamTalk. More than a news platform, SalamTalk focuses on exposing political conflicts from within and facilitating dialogue. Unlike the homophilic algorithms of most social media, SalamTalk invites users to encounter "the other", with a search engine designed to allow you to discover people with lives and backgrounds very different than your own. Furthermore, citizen journalism is encouraged in an ecosystem of ratings and reputation to ensure trustworthiness. 1M5 protocol will also be used on SalamTalk to protect interactions taking place on the platform from censorship and surveillance. Since 1M5 provides intelligent routing, P2P networks are used as a shield to strengthen the security and integrity of the communication data. This is essential to protect the privacy of interactions and safety of individuals in politically sensitive environments..."

" Its price is expected to be roughly 1m satoshis (~100 EUR)."
when is the finished product? how to buy?
All development is dependent on the donations and support 1M5 receives. 1M5 proxy is a higher priority and will be available first, aimed for to be done by the end of the year.

1M5 - Invisible Matrix Services (using leet)
Key Features
1M5 (Invisible Matrix Service—using leet) is the first decentralized services platform with intelligent routing between anonymity networks to bypass censorship. This is required as a base level for digital communications to ensure freedom of speech, expression, association, and assembly using electronics.
Censorship resistance is currently accomplished using Tor and I2P. In the future, it will include 1DN (a direct wireless ad-hoc network using radio and LiFi) as well as other future anonymity networks. When a user’s device gets blocked on one network, other networks are used to route around the block until another node can make the request.
Censorship Resistance Routing
The first layer in a secure highly network-based application must be a layer supporting anonymity. This is accomplished by 1M5’s Sensor Service by using I2P (Invisible Internet Project) as the basis for routing over the internet, 1DN (Invisible Direct Network) comprising radio & LiFi when the internet is not accessible, and Tor for communicating with non-anonymous nodes in the clearnet like Bitcoin nodes. This routing is managed intelligently using a peer graph across all supported anonymous networks.
I2P: an overlay network over the internet using garlic routing to provide anonymity and end-to-end encryption for privacy using a volunteer network of approximately 65k nodes. Garlic routing encrypts multiple messages together using multiple levels of encryption so that each node that performs routing is only aware of the previous node and the next node but no other nodes especially the originating node. Endpoints are cryptographic identifiers (public keys).
1DN: a wireless ad-hoc network as a sensor to provide private communications outside of the internet using WiFi Direct, the full radio spectrum (Software Defined Radio – SDR), and LiFi (Light Fidelity). As of 2019, LiFi is an emerging technology.
Tor: directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis using onion routing. Primary focus is on private browsing of clearnet sites and providing hidden service sites.
Integrations
Chat
1M5 would use I2P to route messages between messaging apps switching to 1DN (radio & LiFi) when internet access is blocked.
Browsing
1M5 would work to ensure end-users can browse any publicly available web site globally regardless of block attempts. All .onion and .i2p sites would automatically work without
configuration. Tor entry node blocks (e.g. China) would get routed around using I2P/1DN.
Email
1M5 would initially use I2P's email system using public keys as destinations with optional aliases. Future 1M5 work would result in the 1M5 network having a decentralized email system to ensure email would work regardless of internet access, which is required by I2P.
Social
1M5 would enhance messaging functionality to include a reputation system.
Office Suite
1M5 would provide google-docs like office sharing workspace with censorship-resistant access and decentralized content distribution (e.g. Inkrypt https://www.inkrypt.io/).
OS
1M5 would be integrated directly in the operating system. All communications can take advantage of the decentralized censorship-resistant communications. Would likely require rewriting 1M5 in C++/Rust/etc away from Java.
