Why This Project?

What inspired us to take action

We believe that freedom of expression, access to information, and privacy are fundamental human rights that should be respected on the Internet as well as in real life. Moreover, we are a civilization transitioning to an information-based society, and as such we feel that the permanent storage of information for future generations is a critical issue we should be striving to solve as soon as possible.

Driven by passion and inspired by “what ifs” we explore the applications and implications of a permanent web in the context of social networks, freedom of expression, creative perpetuity, and privacy for a better Internet in service of humanity.

After all, it’s not information that wants to be free – it’s us.

What Is AKASHA?

Advanced Knowledge Architecture for Social Human Advocacy

AKASHA ( [aːkaːʃə], आकाश) is the Sanskrit word meaning “ether” in both its elemental and metaphysical senses.

The ancient Sanskrit-speaking civilization envisioned akasha as a metaphysical information network connecting humanity with itself and infinite knowledge. In this paradigm, thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences are stored forever and shared through the ether, which acts as an universal field connecting multiple planes of existence.

Thousands of years later the Internet was created, inventing in the process a new way to transmit and store thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences – this time as bits accessible to large numbers of people that are part of the same invisible network connecting billions of minds.

As a decentralized application AKASHA deploys a next-generation information architecture born from the fusion of ancient wisdom with new technologies such as Ethereum and the Inter-Planetary File System. With AKASHA your thoughts and ideas will echo throughout humanity’s existence, thanks to a planetary-scale information network immune to censorship by design.

Well, according to their FAQ, whether or not there will be a crowdsale is not sure yet.

Btw. how ist your tokenization coming along?

It all makes sense now.

IPO / ICO coins are scams.

ALL OF THEM.

You should see the SouthPark episode called "Go Fund yourself"
That way you will understand why we are laughing at you.. and your ponzi victims.

Meh.. kinda..

We have had this discussion, hmmm... maybe.. 1000 times.

How can someone distribute a 'Coin' that doesn't use POW mining in a sybil attack proof way ?

If ANYONE can come up with that, I would agree with your statement.

( ps simply saying coins that don't use POW mining distribution are scams, is not enough.. )

Proof-of-stake is flawed anyway, but if you must do this then you should simply do a proof-of-work period before it turns into proof-of-stake.  No ICO necessary.

If only it were that easy.. Some coins simply do not have that mechanism. A POS coin requires 'S' to mine in the first place. And a coin like DAGcoin or IOTA  is even more abstract.

As for POS being flawed, someone better tell Vitalik that he is going to destroy Ethereum when they switch it over.. unless of course it isn't as flawed as previously believed.

I am very curious to see how all that plays out.

[ttookk]

Wow.

This thread is so… symptomatic.
According to Akasha's FAQ, it isn't even decided yet, whether it will have a crowdsale or not.

Yet, here you are, ranting about the same old things, like ICOs are scam, PoS is shit and ETH is like Internet-cancer.

What the fuck.

Is there any update on this project? Is there going to be an ICO ?

[hankyulpark]

I tried to use the software two months ago, and it looked interesting, but it was a little bit unstable at that moment. The concept is that you don't have central servers to store your personal data in this social media app, so you are in control of everything that you post. And no one can censor your posts. To do that, it will run using ethereum protocol. I'll keep an eye on it because i liked the proposition.

Well, they have not even announced an ICO as far as I know. I guess they want to develop it first and then have an ICO.

Beware there is a fake thread(not this one) which sends you to a malecious url

[eroscoin]

Great Ethereum based project....

[FarmerOak]

Exciting, I joined the Slack and will be watching this 

[andrejka]

Why there is no official AKASHA thread on the forum?

[nutildah]

No updates for this project since May. But according to their timeline,

"AKASHA one, main Ethereum network launch

Depending on our findings during the beta release and breakathon we will prepare for the Ethereum main network launch.

Q4 2017"

Is this project dead?

[grossisthat.....]

is the slack completely closed down? and project dead? Or are they are just in radio silence mode untill they are ready to bust out with something solid?  If there is a slack link that works I would love to join and see if they are still alive.
