Earth Hub is a novel way how to re-invent how the social networks work based on existing protocols and apps.
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
There are very good protocols out there, such as:
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
- Matrix
- ActivityPub
- Nostr
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
Each have their own speciality and the app support by now is marvelous.

> More than 280,000,000 users are now on decentralized platforms based on the 3 above chosen protocols.

## There are still some elements slowing it down
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
- Monetizatio
- No monetization of the hosters of the servers
- Complexity
- Complexity to install and maintain a server
- Different protocols
- Not being interlinked, they need more bridges
- Search limited
- Hard to find users and define your interest groups
- Redundancy
- Hard to know with certainty if your data is safe

2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
## How We Resolve These Issues
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
### Monetization
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
- Automatic micropayment:
- Thanks to Earth Wallet micropayments are done to automatically to reward the relays, nodes and bandwidth points for utilization.
- Minimal cost:
- Having full blown sovereign social network app capabilities doesn't have to be expensive: a couple of USD per month should be enough. *There is no such thing as a free lunch!.*
- Fulfilled customers:
- Customers will not feel it, they will only pay for what they use which will be super small.
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
### Complexity
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
Earth Hub adds the following:
- Single sign on
- Unified Naming System (UNS)
- No need to maintain/install nodes
- The Mycelium Network interconnects all nodes over all protocols and provides an ultra safe connectivity for all
- All is done with full self healing capabilities

### How to Find Users
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
It's easy to find users with Earth Hub.
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
- At each Hub, we do single sign on and make it super easy for people to find each other
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
### Redundancy
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
With EarthHub, all data is stored on a storage system (quantum safe) which makes sure data can never be corrupted nor lost.
## Additional Features
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
We will be able to add personal e-book and website publishing platform with support for CND in Mycelium.
2024-03-19 18:07:50 +00:00
2024-05-10 22:57:37 +00:00
We set a S3 server as a backend for all the above (also the backup of your social media exposure).
