Earth Hub

Earth Hub is a novel way how to re-invent how the social networks work based on existing protocols and apps.

There are very good protocols out there, such as:

  • Matrix
  • ActivityPub
  • Nostr

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

  • 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

How We Resolve These Issues

Monetization

  • 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.

Complexity

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

It's easy to find users with Earth Hub.

  • At each Hub, we do single sign on and make it super easy for people to find each other

Redundancy

With EarthHub, all data is stored on a storage system (quantum safe) which makes sure data can never be corrupted nor lost.

Additional Features

We will be able to add personal e-book and website publishing platform with support for CND in Mycelium.

We set a S3 server as a backend for all the above (also the backup of your social media exposure).
