Yes, that's right. With ThreeFold, you *can* become the Internet! Let me quickly explain.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Today's Internet is powered by hyper-scale data centers which are owned by large corporations. With +80% of the global infrastructure and +60% of the global Internet networks owned by a bunch of companies, the Internet became a real business with us humans being the products of that business model.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
ThreeFold creates an entirely new Internet economy that is owned by all of us and makes the traditional cloud model of building data centers obsolete. With ThreeFold, independent people called "Farmers" plug in 3Nodes (hardware) from their homes or offices anywhere around the world. And they earn income for it.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Together, they power a new, data-sovereign, and planet-positive Internet owned and powered by the people. This is a game-changer.
|
||||
|
||||
## So, how do I get a 3Node?
|
||||
|
||||
You can buy one of the ready-made nodes from cooperatives around the world. This is a good and very easy way to support the ThreeFold project and to "BE THE INTERNET."
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Today you can buy a 3Node via our website. We are also working with our farming cooperatives to decentralize the provisioning and distribution of hardware to a glocal approach (a global network of local networks).
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
But what if 3Nodes are not immediately available? For example, last week we had a huge influx of orders for our Titan V2 3Nodes and sold out the entire batch with 3,000 extra orders. We're now talking with many hardware distributors to make sure we can satsify all these orders, but this could take a while.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
So if you are a little bit more adventurous, and want to build your 3Node from the ground up, yourself, here's how to do it:
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
To "become the Internet" is fairly simple (but does take some technical knowledge and effort). Here's what you'll need:
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
- A computer with an INTEL or AMD brain, some memory, and some storage cabilities.
|
||||
- A smartphone on which you can download and run the "ThreeFold Connect" app. This will provide you with a wallet (to receive your farmed TFT and to pay a very small amount of TFT to get started).
|
||||
- A laptop / desktop (and USB stick) to launch your online 3Bot, configure your farm, download your bootloader and burn the bootloader to a USB stick.
|
||||
- Some technical knowledge, interest and 45 minutes of time.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
If you are still here and reading, we're good to go! I go through the whole process in a 3-minute video which will give you a quick overview of how to set up your farm. (Click through to the video on YouTube and find helpful links in the description.)

Do a quick search for "data leak" on your search engine of choice, and you'll likely see headlines like this:

Week after week, month after month, year after year, companies are being hacked, private consumer data is being compromised and released, and we somehow begin to think that this is the reality of our world, something we just have to deal with.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Internet security, cyber attacks, and data leaks are a global threat – and increasingly so as the world moves more digital, and smart people with malicious intent try to take advantage. But this is not normal, nor should it be. As consumers, we should be able to trust that our data is truly safe and secure. And today, we cannot. It's time we stand up for what is ours.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
That's where ThreeFold comes in.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Many of today's issues around cyber security and data privacy come from the lack of innovation in the IT industry over the last decades and the reliance on centralized hyper-scale data centers. ThreeFold has disrupted this model in a few ways:
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
First, we started from the ground up. Some ThreeFold co-founders have been working in the cloud & storage space for over two decades, having built components of the cloud and Internet still used today. They knew that the only way to have a truly secure and data sovereign Internet was to rebuild the architecture and the technology components from scratch. So they did. A few years down the line, we've created a new operating system, a smart contract for IT, and a peer-to-peer network that can be scaled to anywhere by anyone.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Second, we removed people from the equation. IT has become so overly-complex that people are required in order to maintain it. Because of this, "backdoors" are needed to allow these gateholders to enter the systems and make necessary fixes. But this can lead to human error, and also allows people with malicious intent to make their way in as well. With Autonomous IT powering the ThreeFold Grid, the technology runs and heals itself, and drastically reduces the opportunity for humans to interfere.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
And lastly, your data is owned by you. Rather than relying on centralized data centers, the ThreeFold Grid is an Internet grid made up by independent ThreeFold "Farmers" from around the world who plug in capacity from their home or office. While they own the hardware, they do not own the data inside. User data is stored across multiple devices, and proprietary data storage algorithms ensure that the data cannot be retrieved by anyone besides the user – not the farmer, and not even us.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
As Einstein said, "We can't solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them."
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
We have a lot more information in [our wikis](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/) about the technology, but what we want to emphasize here with you is that we don't have to accept data leaks and hacking. There is an answer to the cybersecurity issues the world is facing. And that answer is ThreeFold.

The United Nations publicly ruled Internet access to be a human right in 2016. Proper access to the Internet helps to protect people’s freedom of speech and thought, as well as other fundamentals such as access to knowledge and information.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
Nonetheless, as of 2019, about 43% of humanity remains unconnected to the Internet, creating huge inequalities in access to information and knowledge. It is essential to take the necessary steps to strengthen the relationship between governments and people while still upholding all human rights.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
ThreeFold created an infrastructure that is easily affordable and jointly operated by network peers to make the modern Internet open and fair to everyone. Anybody with a network connection and electricity can add capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. We're looking for farmers around the globe and we're also partnering with farming cooperatives to develop localized strategies and meet the specific needs of their region. Plus, the Foundation will incentivize and sponsor the extension and scope to areas that require Internet capacity the most, to ensure a fair and equitable delivery of the Internet to all.
