We have released an Explain it like I'm 5 guide to help people understand what cyber is. The full FAQ can be found on our GitHub.

What is cyber?
The explanation below is NOT going to be simple, so please do not be put off by it. All the terminology used in the first explanation WILL be explained in detail later in this document. Let me assure you, that if you keep on reading, you will be able to understand Cyber with almost zero previous knowledge.

Cyber is essentially creating a brand new protocol (a procedure that helps computers to do things in a certain way) for adding and searching information onto a knowledge graph (a compilation of facts about something that provides meaning to the user). And rank this information.

Different types of users create links between 2 IPFS hashes (keep on reading to see what this is) and place them on a knowledge graph by spending bandwidth (amount of data that can be transmitted over a fixed period of time).

That content is then dynamically ranked with the help of digital tokens and the current parameters of the networks load. This makes the rank dynamic (characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress).

All this is computed (determined with the help of a computer) by validators (a program or a computer that are responsible for checking the validity of something). The validators do so, by using their GPU's (literally - graphics cards).

This allows to search data on the web, rank it, query it (look it up) and create knowledge databases without blackbox intermediaries (third parties that try to censor data, hide or push specific results to obtain money, track your data, etc).

The interesting thing is that such a simple mechanism allows creating a lot of powerful tools as a result. We will go in-detail further down the document into those. For example: unified semantics, SEO instruments, autonomous robots, and a lot more.

What cyber is NOT?
Cyber is not a commercial product. In fact, it is not a product as such. It is an instrument if you wish, or a tool, that anyone can use. That said, cyber allows for several ways for its participants to earn rewards.

Cyber is not THE new internet. It is a tool that can help to shape and to decentralize (distribute the power of authority) the new Great Web.

What problem are you trying to solve?
We are trying to solve the problem of data centralization and data censorship. Which in other words, is decentralization of common knowledge (assuming that data is the new knowledge and that we are moving into the digital age).

Why are you doing this?
Each person should be able to control their own data, their identity, their knowledge. The universe can become a better place if our children live in a digital environment where they are in charge of their actions.

What's wrong with Google?
Google is a brilliant idea. We do not deny this. But Google is the rebel that has overthrown the dictator and became the dictator itself. Google uses you to shape the essence and the fundamentals of communications between everyone and everything. Whilst at it, Google doesn't care for anyone and will make money on your action and your behalf.

It should be noted, that by this question I am attempting not just at Google, but at all the mega-digital corporations. Feel free to check out what this can lead to in the shape of Cambridge Analityca. If this case is too much to take in or too "loud" for you, feel free to watch some episodes of Black Mirror to see how digital control can "break" society.

Why now?
Because we are almost done with post-industrialism. We are slowly and surely moving into the digital realm. One can deny or accept this. Now is the time to either have the tools that will help us to shape the matrix the way we want to shape it or give those powers away to someone to control all aspects of our lives.

Why search?
Search is a global mechanism that is globally understood by everyone, regardless of language, race, age, etc. It is somewhat a basic instinct (searching for food to survive, etc). In the digital realm with the help of search, we gain answers to our questions, which we always ask. Search helps us to build a model around any subject that is of interest to us. With the use of search, we can build databases, which can lead to a great number of useful instruments (on these later).

Aren't there other, more important problems to solve?
There probably are. But we decided to focus on this because we understand how to achieve the required result. There are probably more problems and questions to be solved (like hunger, wars, ecology, etc). Our tool can help to play a role in solving if not all, but some of these.

Aren't there other things out there that solve this?
There is a lot of awesome, open-source technology on the market that can commit to making a change in the world. Most of the technology we use is not something we invented (although the code itself is written from scratch!). They are technologies that have existed previously and are awesome at doing what they do. Our software is a combination of existing technologies, protocols and our own work that has arisen from this. It is specifically targeted at fixing what is broken.

What do you mean exactly by interplanetary search engine here?
Can you elaborate a lil bit in layman's terms?
What is the benefit for ordinary individual who is always using the net?
And when will your cyb be released in public? So we can see the difference of using cyb vs google.

You should check the ELI-5 FAQ to see some explanations in plain language. The FAQ is available on our GitHub. I mean for references to As to how its different. I posted a picture of comparison here, but I think it also got deleted. Unfortunately BTT keeps deleting links when I post them Sad
Interplanetary is a reference to IPFS. It means it can work anywhere as long as a signal is send and received.
Right now its infrastructure mode. But its all publically available already (requires some technical skills to set it up and use the CLI). We will be making some new application releases until the end of the year, but you should be aware that they are highly unstable (the applications) and should be used only for testing.
Final releases are not due until mid 2020. Our point of concentration is the infrastructure right now, as to decentralise this, it needs infrastructure.
(When you are on GitHub, just go to /cybercongress/ecosystems/ELI5FAQ

Oh, and yes. euler 5 is coming. The games are about to begin. I will post more info next week when the guides are ready

Cyber has gifted 3 communities as per the commitment to do so in our White Paper.

Those are the Ethereum, Cosmos and Urbit communities.

The purpose of those gifts is to help the network gain traction in the beginning and to increase the initial participation. This will help to increase cooperation and give more participants the ability to engage in the protocol. We chose these specific communities because they are the best communities, in our opinion, to help to form the knowledge graph and to reach the masses.

As a result, Cyber will gain a massive benefit via the economic integration of the largest developers, the most innovative and of the most promising communities withing the open-source space. Similary, those communities will gain traction from joining forces with Cyber - the builder of the Great Web!

The gift went to over 1 million addresses!

You can check the full FAQ here or your gift balance here

We created a small intro for the cyber.page app and what it can do.

The app allows you to search for semantically enriched IPFS content over the IPFS network with the help of cyber. Check out this guide

We spoke about cyber and decentralised search to Monero talk during CCC in Germany. (I timestamped the video at 33.50, if it doesn't work, you can just jump there, however Gregor, the guy before me is an excellent speaker and was the second biggest Cosmos fan at the event):

We are starting a new format of publishing. A format that will line up with our blog posts or rather visa-versa. The idea is to be able to deliver clear and understandable information on everything that we do.

Prologue: Sometimes, stories do not occur as expected. Often, they might not even have a beginning… In the depth of a faraway galaxy, the light of which is barely even seen from Earth, hope is born. Hope that one day good will overcome darkness. Scattered through the night of the Cosmos and bypassing space debris, a ray of light reaches Earth…

Please find the post containing the video material, and links to presentations, from the euler-5 launch workshop here

Original protocols of the Internet, such as: TCP/IP, DNS, URL, and HTTP/S have brought the web to a stale point. Considering all the benefits that these protocols have produced for the initial development of the web, along with them, they have brought significant obstacles to the table.

Quote
Introducing cyber: A decentralized google for provable and relevant answers. Cyber is an inter-planetary search engine & a state of the art consensus computer, built with the help of go-IPFS and cosmos-SDK. Cyber introduces a protocol for provable communication between consensus computers of relevance. Cyber is based around a simple idea of content-defined knowledge graphs, generated by web3-masters (users) via the use of cyberlinks. Cyberlinks are a simple, yet a powerful semantic construction for building a predictive model of the universe. They are simply a connection of two IPFS hashes, enriched semantically and backed by a user’s token weight.

How do we achieve the state of a distributed computer for general-purpose search. Check out the blog post

You can now use cyber.page (the app for cyber) to claim and vest tokens via our Aragon apps and use them to participate in our distribution games and play on our Cosmos based chain! Check out the guide

Or just go to cyber.page and use your metamsk extension to do this. Check out the Aragon dapps too

Almost 100,000 cyberlinks created during GoL!

How about an #IBC use case beyond token transfer? Transfer of cyberlinks between 2 chains. Wouldn't it be amazing if 2 separate networks could exchange data and prove the value of what they exchange without relying on (semi) centralized price oracles? Well, you can =)

Hey everyone! We have submitted the first of its kind proposal to the Cosmos Hub. It is a proposal to make a collective decision to participate in a takeoff round of a project via the use of on-chain governance mechanisms, consensus and the community pool.

Long story short, here is the proposal

Here is the detail

Discuss here!
