For now, skynodes will access internet through normal ISP. Once they reach critical mass, skynodes will communicate over wireless / radio / line-of-sight / satellite / dark fibre comms links, depending upon which is best for the particular user. This removes ISPs and single points of failure. Once it reaches critical mass, the Skynet can never be taken down. Governments are looking into this too (pic related).

Do they have hardware specs somewhere? I doubt any cheap wi-fi antenna is going to make the cut for a workload like that.

Also outcompeting mobile internet is going to pretty hard. I mean 5G will support 1-2,5GBit, wiresless, from a handful of antennas per city.

It will be free to use for most people running a node. Basically you get paid in skyhours for routing traffic through your node or hosting storage/computing power on your node, and you pay skyhours when you use bandwidth/storage/computing on the network. You also pay skyhours to access the dapps and games that run on the platform. There are 30+ ICOs already planning to launch. Each ICO gets its own blockchain and wallet and currency.

SKY is a complete blockchain ecosystem with skyhours as the currency. Also by holding Skycoins in your wallet you generate 1 skyhour per Skycoin per hour, so everybody will hodl the Skycoins and just spend the skyhours.

The antennas are in development, no specs yet but the devs say they will operate over a range of bandwidths and distances, with traditional ISP as a fallback if needed. The nodes don't care whether they're connected to an ISP or a satellite line or a wireless link - it's a mesh network and they just route over the best path to the destination.

The Skycoin/Skyhours is one of my favourite, you won't have a situation as you have with most crypto's (looking at you Bitcoin) where everyone just hoards it whilst it was meant to be a currency.

In this way, you have a deflationary currency generating an inflationary currency which people will spend. Somethign to hoard, something to spend, it's fucking genius and I really don't get why any other crypto hasn't thought of this before.

For this to achieve critical mass you will need to have at least 3-4% of the population to own a skyminer. Something which is absolutely unrealistic given that 3-4% of the population in the US own crypto or even have enough money to their name to buy such a miner. I would be thoroughly surprised if they'd even achieve 0.5% of the global market cap. A kickstarter project selling some mesh network router for 20$ has a higher chance than this pos. Not saying that skycoin fundamentally sucks, but critical mass to decentralize the internet is nothing more than a cash grrab. Probably hard to understand if you are a brainlet tho.

This is a long-term project. They're developing a low-cost USB node (sub $30). It will reach mass adoption easily when people can just buy a $20 USB stick and then get free internet forever.

Not exactly, supply of GAS is capped, meaning there is a disincentive to spend it. Why spend now when it will be worth more in the future?

They are ambitious, I give them that. But I don't see them reaching a adoption rate anywhere close to the amount needed to reach critical mass. More than likely some company like Google, Facebook, Tesla or Apple will come out with mesh routers and take the largest share of the market. Just give it some thought: Not even 5% of US population uses Crypto yet - It takes a 3-4% minority to kick start a status quo - SkyCoin is at less than 0.5% of the entire Crypto market cap. For SkyCoin to take off we'd need this to be a top 5 coin and Crypto to be something used every day by average people.

The beauty of Skycoin is that it doesn't need to appeal only to crypto adopters. It will appeal to anyone who wants free Internet. They don't even need to know about the blockchain/cryptocurrency in the background. All most people will see is a cheap box they plug in to get free Internet with no censorship, no ISP spying on them, fully encrypted, no dropouts, no bandwidth throttling, and even available in undeveloped countries with minimal traditional ISP coverage.

But for that you first would need a critical mass to establish a wide enough mesh network, no? That will be the primary challenge. Having a device for free internet doesn't really help me if there is no mesh around to connect. Rolling out those networks even through large-scale community efforts is still a gargantuan task. I could see it work in a small city, but the decentralized nature in crypto where everyone is spread out across the entire globe makes it even harder. What I would see working is a open internet mesh standard which a skyminer along with many other mesh device/companies could plug into and create a wide area network. This way Skycoin could benefit of others success and vice versa.

The Skyminers will be network agnostic - they won't care whether they're connected to an ISP, wireless, satellite, radio or dark fiber - they'll just use whatever connection is available to connect to the mesh network and earn Skycoin Coin Hours while doing so. Cities can be interconnected via dark fiber, all it takes is a data center or telco or other business to install a node and connect it to some of their spare capacity. Remote areas can be accessed via satellite. Everyone who uses it will be incentivized by earning coin hours relative to the amount of bandwidth/storage/computing power they can host.

It is a big task, but look at Detroit, they've already done it because there is a real need there. With Skycoin it becomes even easier because adopters are financially incentivized to run nodes (unlike most existing mesh networks today which are run by volunteers and therefore unsustainable long term).

You wait several years until the infrastructure is ready. When it is ready, your data will jump from node to node (each node using an antenna), and each node won't be a simple pi as of now, and the antennas won't be the small ones already presented. You need to understand technology doesn't fall from the sky (pun intended) fully operational, see first computers, first cars, first planes, etc. and how they are decades later. But you start somewhere. And in crypto, everything moves faster than in other fields.

but if its not solving a problem or making what exists better/faster (yet), whats the incentive to use it, and how will it evolve without it? those other techs evolved fast cause there was nothing like it. We got fast internet already

Only at first. The long term plan is to move to their own hardware and become an ISP in their own right.

It's solving the problem of the jews at facebook and your ISP recording all your searches, messages and photos
