Access the Internet without ISPs using Mesh Networks and Blockchain with PKT

For this week's episode, I spoke with Caleb James Delisle (@cjdelisle),  founder of PKT Cash, the world’s first bandwidth-hard blockchain meant to support de-monopolizing internet access through mesh networking. Previously he also founded Cjdns, which implements an encrypted IPv6 network using public-key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing, and Packet Crypt, which is the proof of work used for PKT Cash.

During the episode we spoke about how his project is meant to help people get around monopolistic internet service providers who oversell bandwidth, how the project's proof of work encourages building better internet infrastructure for communities, and we talk a bit about the value of the fediverse as opposed to big tech platform.
