"very insecure" is an understatement lol VPNs would be rendered useless, pools would eventually create centralization (in other words, not défi), and paying traffic in cryptocoins would make erasing history impossible. With ipv6 that means your specific and device used is directly tied to the transaction, including location and payment receipt. Anyone you pay in that crypto will be able to trace it back to your traffic... Which is public. That's just stupid by any measure.

@xrpmaxi8839 "there are answers" is not an answer to any question ever asked lol thanks anyway for the input. Without implementation details or even a scheduled rollout I can definitely say for certain some answers do not yet exist, or they'd be public and open to scrutiny.

This doesn't explain any implementation detail whatsoever. Why even bother reporting on it without offering any useful or applicable information? So sites are hosted on ledgers, so to use the Internet we need to connect to a nearby ledger with addresses to packets spread out across the other nodes, then decrypt those chunks to verify their hashes, then compare conflicts from updated content not matching hashes from the local node, then hope nobody hijack my site by hosting a bunch of fraud packets under my domain name since we've scrapped registered DNS.. Or we keep DNS/proxy servers we have and there's no actual ledger implementation it's just a façade? Nothing about web 3 makes sense unless you're an advertising platform or datacenter willing to exploit network traffic (ie people). Just a thought, but maybe this is an idea conjured up by companies who are being legislated against abusing their power? Maybe it's a response to gdpr and not at all in the public's best interest? Just a thought.

@beepboopgpt1439 a wallet in cold storage for each transaction? That feels insane to me lol

@GeneralBlackNorway to prove you wrong, simply go to pirate Bay on a VPN with ipv6 disabled. The ads will still pop up with your region based on your Mac address. While I appreciate you explaining diffie helmsn key exchanges and PGP to me, I'm aware of how it works, that's how I came up with my comment - by witnessing it. To decentralize the web with cryptographic keys there would either need to be a place that vérifiés the authenticity of the connection (like a YouTube authentification server for logging in to write this comment) or a DNS server or TLS certificate organization (also centralized), or a government issuing ranges of keys based on isp or nearest backbone or satellite or whatever you're connected to. It has to be centralized somewhere, otherwise you're just going to pollute the web with tons and tons of keys and that will grow exponentially faster than legit content on the web. That's not feasible or sustainable long term.

@siphesihle2660 it would make scams change, and make them easier to abuse amidst confusion, possibly more robust to deliberately misdirect authorities too, so in my estimation it would encourage scams on net.
