I am trying to figure out what it is. It sounds like a pier-to-pier network where everyone basically has their own server. I’ve thought about the same thing, but it seems like individual bandwidth would be the limiting factor.

Early pier-to-pier network:

And not everyone has their own sever. Only the upper-crust and titled nobles.

Quickly looking at it I’m not sure if it’s peer to peer. Sounds like they segregate each user’s data in some way that’s different from the cloud applications out there now. I would definitely prefer serverless P2P (like Retroshare and some other applications offer) but more detail on this one is needed.
They are generally on the right track. The big central data monsters should go away and I think they will in time.

Yeah same here. Besides platitudes, I can’t figure out what he is talking about.

My best guess is that it will be vaporware.
