Would it be possible to add a blockchain (/blockchain-like) layer to a network like this that is tied to your node's provided throughput?
I.e. - I pay for a node in the network, and get paid incrementally every time someone accesses the network via my node? The payment being slightly higher based on the speed/bandwidth of the node I've provided.
I imagine the payment could be a combination of a "pay what you can" donation as in this example, and a generated coin based on the increase in value of having a network like this in a regional area.
- rienbdj 6y agoThe overhead of the blockchain would be too much compared to the bandwidth provided most likely.

You can share your "residential IP" and bandwith with other dVPN users in exchange for crypto micro-payments. Also see Golem, Elastos, and other such Web3 initiatives.
