Comment on Ask HN: Why is bandwidth so expensive?parent

Comments

I never fully pitched it. That slide deck was mostly to sort through the ideas I had at the time and try to identify some fundamental truths of the market.

The product I'm interested in building is basically a bandwidth marketplace. It's a hard problem and I've been thinking about it for a while. In college I researched "TorCoin" for my senior thesis which explored the possibilities of a proof-of-bandwidth cryptocurrency. I know some ICO's are working on this now but I'm really skeptical the idea can work without a killer product in the hands of users driving adoption. That's the product I want to work on. I'm still figuring out exactly what it is, but I've been thinking about this kind of thing heavily for the past 5 years and feel pretty confident I can execute if given the right time, team and funding.

Really interesting. Thanks for the info!
