Some people have compared this project with Mysterium, what would be the real equalities and differences between these two projects? Is there any comparison between them? Was ICO successful? The site is off the air, could anyone confirm?
Not familiar with Mysterium...
However there are a few different aspects of the Substratum project from what I've become aware of (learned alot by talking to some of the admins / devs in their slack which is very active)
Substratum node - will host web content and split up files / encrypted across many nodes. Hosting fees are paid via microtransactions to the nodes that end up serving the content or chosen as the best node to serve the file chunks from due to region or speed. They have a video with a demo you can view of the node interface which shows you can select how much ram, cpu, drive space to the node software, and also schedule it to turn on when your at work or asleep so its not running when your using your computer. Illegal content like kiddy porn would be community flagged, and no single full file would be posted on any one node, so nodes would not be able to try to decrypt any content they are hosting because they would only have a file chunk, not the whole file. The more content you serve up on the network, the more SUB coins you earn which dumps directly into your wallet address
Crypto payment gateway - would be like a paypal module websites can put on their site to accept crypto and receive either fiat or crypto of their choice. The user can choose which crypto to pay with and the merchant can also select which currency they wish to receive
Substratum video - very few details about this but they mentioned they would also have a module or part of their project to build a video hosting network across the substratum nodes
Micro node - very few details about this also, but eventually as more and more computing power is increasing in the form of mobile devices, you could assist with serving smaller content from your phone, running a mobile lightweight version of the node interface.
2nd token burn coming up, price just rose slightly and they are close to 2nd place community vote for listing on Binance. If your interested now is the time to finish your research and get in because the price could rise over the coming week
