jumping in here becuase i agree what what i'm seeing, it's highly intelligent and succinct, and yeah.

i've been toying on and off for a number of years with getting my own ripe designation, but the whole process seems just like way too much spotlight , all things considered.

:)

a part of me wonders if something like

servers off the web, can somehow play with servers on the web, but only communicate with the servers off the web in an encrypted thing with a wholly new protocol and translate it to standard syn ack ack ack stuff, but while only partly inventing the wheel, and maintaining a robust functionality.

not a hardware programmer, but the rough idea is the actual infra servers for content would be somehow blind to things ( i just realized how silly this all sounds but i;m in deep with my tired comment so just running with it...)

but those protected servers would still interact with tcp / ip /udp, but perhaps encrypt the packets till they got to the hardware level, and somehow not needed to be brought into ram or swap, and were just transmitted...

that way the only actual traceable or hackable bits would technically not exist for most users, and i'll stop there because i shouldn't be trying to think about topology before bed while already quite knackered..

cheers :D
