DeNet is now listed on CoinCodex. Make sure to check the ICO Calendar for other projects!

OUR PRESALE STARTED

We are going to talk about current results of the development, conditions of token sale that started on October 1st, 2018, and our future plans.
One year has passed since we stepped on DeNet path. Do you remember how in 2017 we launched the first version of HTTP distributed hosting — https://alpha.denet.pro/

We worked hard to achieve the goals we specified in RoadMap during this year. And this is what we have by now:

- Own Ethereum Testnet
- Micro-payments on blockchain
- Updated smart-contracts of tasks
- Own protocol of communication between nodes
- Beta-version of DeNet.Storage data storage that is anonymous, safe and cheap — https://storage.denet.pro/landing/

Each member of a network can upload his data to a distributed network of miners: DeNet.Storage. Registration is very simple: create a new account or import an existing one. No logins, email and more. Only a private key that is kept in your browser.

Node App Alpha-version — an app for renting capacities out (available for Linux and Mac OS. Windows-version is on the way) — https://denet.pro/denet-node/

Now you can install a node for mining DNET tokens and become a public/verifying node within DeNet network.
You need a PC with 256 Mb RAM and internet with a speed of 1 Mbit/s minimum. Now a public app is available for Mac OS, versions for Linux and Windows are on their way.
Join us, earn on idle capacities of your computer, and become part of DeNet community!

So what?

Now we have an app for miners and an app for users; that’s why we work on expanding the audience and improvement of services for DNET token is used as much as possible within our network.

Why does it matter?

Tokens value increases with growing demand on services within DeNet network. It means that the same amount of tokens will let you get more services tomorrow than it used to be yesterday.

For example:

DeNet network turnover in petabytes — up to 300
How many TB you can store for 300 tokens per month? Up to 10.
Up to 3,000 — up to 100.

Buy tokens now: when we develop a turnover of 3,000 petabytes, you will be able to get ten times more capacities than today.

Take part in fundraising

We spare no effort to make private and safe data storage available to everyone. Join token sale to support us and become part of DeNet community.

Our presale started at 9:00 am GMT on October 1st, 2018 — https://denet.pro/fund/.

Our goal

The goal of this stage of token sale is to raise funds for further improvement of the development, full-fledged launch of services on the scheduled date and entry in South Korean and Russian markets.

Conditions of token sale

There is no minimum entry threshold.
The exchange rate is fixed at the moment of payment.
Maximum threshold: USD 100,000 (if above USD 100,000 — you become a participant of a closed presale and receive bonuses)

The main token sale will be different: without regular bonuses. The bonus system will be used only during the October presale.
The further token sale will be presented in a new way — we will inform you about it in detail later on.

We offer the most advantageous conditions for tokens purchase to participants of a closed presale that is going on now. Contact us to get a personal offer: [email protected] or in telegram @SIRafik. Private sale conditions are valid until the end of October 2018.

We launched an application to rent a hard drive.

Today there are about 4 billion computers with over 500 Exabyte of free space in the world. If all those capacities are placed on USB flash drives of 64 gigabyte each, one can lay a road to the Moon!

DeNet suggests to more rationally use these resources. The company creates a decentralized eco-system using blockchain-technologies for data storage, hosting of websites and applications and other computational tasks.
DeNet solutions, based on a concept of sharing economy, will let millions of people all over the world not only rent out idle capacities of their computers and earn on it, but become part of a global society, influencing development of data storage technology.

To join DeNet network (https://denet.pro/denet-node/), you need a PC with 256 Mb RAM and internet with a speed of 1 mbit/s minimum. Now the application works on Linux and Mac OS.

Cloud storage market volume grows by almost 30 % per year and will approach about USD 100 billion by 2022. Several major players, such as Dropbox, Google, Yandex and Mail.ru, own the market now.

If a decentralized storage can capture even a small percentage of this market, it will be a big industry.
Today DeNet, Storj, Sia, Filecoin, Substratum and more are already competing for share of this market. Different platforms work differently. But regardless of the approach, decentralized storage is a rapidly growing industry and the future is promising for any project that can improve the technology.

To prove the idea’s operability, in the end of 2017 DeNet presented an alpha-version of a shared static hosting; and a pre-beta version of DeNet.Storage – in July 2018. The final versions will be released in 2019.

When developing MVP, we always face new challenges . And every time we find solutions that meet our requirements.

DeNet.Storage is a decentralized data storage. Pieces of information are encrypted and allocated to multiple independent hubs. To avoid a cyber breach and provide security of data blockchain technology is used. With the help of DeNet.Storage is easy to maintain personal and commercial data protection and to reduce expenses for the storage of large information volumes. The login system includes a private key and ECDSA digital signatures that guarantees anonymity and safety.

Whole last month we`ve been working on improving the service. So what's new in DeNet?

DeNet is working on development of alternative decentralized storage services and already submitted pre-beta version of secure data service DeNet.Storage. In July we offered all those who wish to test it (you can try it too if still not: https://storage.denet.pro/landing/).

We`ve got a feedback: reviews, observations and suggestions from our colleague, advisers and common users. So, whole last month we`ve been working on improving the service. We`ve updated a website architecture, the frontend-version and have increased storage’s security.

To do list:

Storage landing: storage.denet.pro/landing

• DeNet.Storage update
• Usability
• Authorization
• Creating folders
• Previews

Front-end:

• Private keys encryption and decryption by passwords
• Fast search

Overall updates:

• Files fragmentation and defragmentation
• Rating system
• Digital signatures

Usability

It`s hard to get used to something new. Usually people do not want to spend time for learning about something. Therefore we made Denet.Storage functionary and design are intuitive. You can load into the storage any files you want. Unlike traditional services, nobody can get access to your data or use it (even us).

Frontend

We`ve implemented Vue.js framework and increased the working speed.

We constantly analyze new technologies and implement the most effective in our service. We want to make its interface handy and secure.

For instance, we made files preview. It is common for traditional services, but new for blockchain one. Now it is generating on backend. In next versions they are going to be generated and encrypted only in frontend.

There are folders to make file organization more convenient.

Backend

We`ve upgraded signing up system with the help of public and private keys. We abandoned the signing up form with Metamask, because it could limit us in future.

What private key allows us in frontend?

• Digital signature generation regardless of other apps
• To approve transactions between user and node in the background
• To download files directly from slave-nodes
• Appropriate account switching

We`ve developed and have tested a library for files fragmentation and defragmentation, which will be implemented in next versions. This is the next step towards end-state product vision.

Moreover we`ve developed and have tested nodes rating system, which we are going to implement in upcoming upgrades.

Decentralization

By the way, we believe that it`s not good to get carried away by blockchain in projects. The reason is in limits. But what we should do when we have to build an independent network without those limits? While developing DeNet we learned each fact and can offer several solutions to avoid limits. We will definitely write about it. Stay tuned!

Denet Storage - Excellent Storage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJWYzlzuow

1) Open network that provides safe and secure services to its users with the help of other stakeholders — capacity providers.
2) Unlimited network with high speed load. Powerful and affordable.
3) Impossibility to stop network operations on government, and obstacles for censorship and network participants.
4) Super simple and user-centered usability and interfaces.

Project looks quite interesting, but I have few questions:

1. Where can I see the source code of the project? Is it open-sourced? I assume it is closed, to keep the know-how from competitors, right?

2. If source code is not available, then how you can guarantee the storage is indeed
100% decentralized - how you can prove those files are not kept on your local data center storage
100% private - how you can prove you do not have backdoor key to every single file on the storage?
100% safe - how you can prove the integrity of the data is guaranteed, even if multiple hosting computers will switch off

So the bottomline - with closed-source code there is no way to audit it, so why users should trust you? Or... are there legal guarantees (instead of open-code-based ones), as with existing centralized storage solutions?

I am not trying to be mean. I just want to understand if there are mechanisms to prove your claims, as the project itself sounds promising, and those questions may arise during its way to mainstream.

4 professions that need DeNet
To keep data in the cloud is convenient, but sometimes may be expensive or just dangerous. We picked up four types of work for which DeNet is best to use. https://medium.com/@denetpro/4-professions-that-need-denet-802707db30e0

On which exchange do you trade?

Technology allows new projects to emerge without slowing down. It is astonishing that this project has been developed when people are new to Wi-Fi technology. These studies of the DeNet project should not be ignored. wireless Internet all over the world is a brilliant idea, who will be the first to reach it and will conquer the whole world and will be the most influential!

Many industry is adapting Blockchain technology and I like to see website hosting industry get decentralize too. DeNet is a decentralized network with transparent settlements system that takes into account a user’s contribution and reputation. It’s to user’s advantage to work in good faith here.

It is a high-tech projects, very challenging, I want to know whether you have enough technical talent to develop this, not only the concept, but also produce and test result, this will be a very big job

I love to see website hosting industry get decentralize too. Also team have MVP. Best of luck team.

very profitable and very real, this is one project that will advance the world and is needed by the world for the future, hopefully the team can develop this project further success.

DeNet will enables every user to use unused capacities and receive income with minimal difficulties for renting out computing power & bandwidth. Further, DeNet provides maximum protection and comfort for the client. Maximum uptime for a very reasonable price.

it looks tempting with the concept of a fully decentralized data storage, hopefully many people who are interested and with good teamwork will all work well too.

The project will deal with the distributed storage of large data? Ie I can hand over the excess capacity of my hard drive and get  tokens? How will this be implemented technically? The rest of the information on my drive will be safe?
