i am really interested in this project, though am yet to fully understand some of the structure, hopefully in due time
Its very confusing and complex. There are multiple overlapping groups and none of them are doing it for the money.
We have group using Skycoin to fund their meshnet dream.
We have group using Skycoin to fund their hardware projects.
We have group using Skycoin to fund related immutable data structure research (urbit stuff and stuff used in consensus)
We have small group using Skycoin for consensus research and to do a next generation consensus algorithm (see the white papers)
We have multiple cipher punk groups working on different thing they want.
We have group doing fundamental programming language research and CX. Who just happen to be genetic algorithm and multi-agent simulation people. So the first thing that was implemented on this was genetic algorithm and linear genetic programming and Cartesian genetic algorithms.
We have group doing decentralized social media and pilot applications on the immutable data structure libraries (which is what they build the libraries for). They are building it, because they know it can be done, therefore it must be done.
It feels a lot like the community did in the early days of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
With advancements in Deep Learning AI based on machine learning developed by the European Commision, how will skycoin avoid integration into Googles SkyCloud once it is fully developed? The reason I ask is Deep Learning is spreading like a cancer among open source software developers and will soon infect all major platforms not just the giants like Microsoft. At some point skycoin would need to develop its own user based software to stay fully decentralized. With the integration of intelligence programs such as stellar winds, prism and weeping angel data collection through ISP, social media providers, search engines etc.. im not sure governments will allow a fully decentralized internet to gain traction.
