I like this project called Qortal. It is a very interesting blockchain project with some cool features being built. Projects like this could be a great benefit to humanity. Their mission statement is as follows:
The Qortal Network will bring back individual sovereignty to a worldwide economy. Qortal will: 1) rebuild the Internet in an unhackable fashion, 2) provide a viable alternative for trading to avoid the devastation caused by exchange hacks and thefts, 3) build a new worldwide economic system based on honesty, openness, transparency, and democracy in a trustless fashion, 4) implement a true honest democratic system with voting where the individual's influence is weighted based on their individual contribution, and 5) establish a fair system with room for everyone to earn their place in the Qortal Network!
Some of the features Qortal has and is planning:
● Default saved account encryption and state-of-the-art security measures ● Decentralized peer-to-peer cross-chain trading and encrypted communication ● Decentralized web hosting and data storage ● Freedom of speech and information platforms such as social media ● Mesh networking and data service (when network is large enough) ● True democracy within Qortal by means of voting on-chain (with votes weighted by contribution measured on-chain) ● Infrastructure for ethical third-party public or private projects to be built securely
One of my favorite parts about Qortal is that you can run a node from a Raspberry Pi, which is a very small and cheap computer. This allows a low barrier of entry so that anyone basically anyone can participate in the network.
