Anyone on here using it?   Because I want to know more.

ie:  I want to know more than the official published stuff that I'm reading

It sounds good, but there's no tech information, just "say so"; like i2p and Tribbler, they have an app working and make claims of privacy, security, functionality, etc...
Also it looks really like a startup, lotta potential and promises, but no bacon or cheese. Guess the only way to know is testing it.

I was, and still am, an advocate for monetized systems, because there's no way to build and keep a worldwide system, even if distributed, random and anonymous, without money; even harder is to face the big corps on their own turf.
But I've a question: IF many people nowadays are using celular internet (on their smartphones) and no landline/satellite internet at home, what can we co with such distributed system?
I mean, can't keep my smartphone on all the time (battery will run down much quicker) and can't share terabytes of data / storage space all the time, as my phone must stay with me, not in the house.
