not really, over 90% is pretty much vaporware trash scamcoins

while skywire code is already functional, hardware nodes for testnet are being shipped.

pretty cool desu

not yet, you will once skywire main network is launched, you mine by sharing bandwidth
1-2 seconds

skywire is a decentralized internet btw, built on new networking protocols, using secure hardware nodes and shit

basically better internet than what you have now

2. SKYWIRE: A decentralized ISP where you earn coins for forwarding traffic/bandwidth (like Tor but faster, not backdoored by NSA and you are getting paid to run a node), that will give everyone nearly free internet access and will get a lot of users and actually be useful. Different networking protocol than TCP/IP, designed to be immune from literally all currently known network based attacks.

- Uses public keys instead of IP addresses, with all of the traffic encrypted by default, making man in the middle attacks impossible.
- Nodes forwarding the traffic can only see the previous and next hop, not origin or destination, making it extremely private.
- Latency is superior to TCP/IP because ISPs use hot potato routing, while Skywire doesnt.
- Speed is superior because bandwidth aggregation is possible, making it possible to share the unused bandwidth of your neighbours.
- Immune to ISP control tactics, such as throttling, censorship, outages, etc.
- Designed to be ran on skycoin's own open source hardware infrastructure.
- Works as an overlay over the current internet as of now, but will be completely independant as soon as the network backhaul is in place.
- Incentivized for the first 14 years, you get paid for running a node and transferring packets for the network.

Got my miner reserved, who else here /set for life/?

yes

but unlike substratum, shift or mysterium this ones more than a whitepaper. The software actually works already, and hardware nodes able to encrypt and transfer over 10gb/s of traffic are being shipped.
