I'm somewhat distrustful of any ideas that require payment to access the white paper. The general premise appears to be using Bitcoin Cash to facilitate a store and send infrastructure to incentivize the operation of decentralized servers where the sender foots the bill and everyone uses E2E public key encryption.
The comparison, jump from peer to peer to centralized, skipping Federated services, for example, like Jabber protocol. Is true that Google used it first, and then killed it. But, maybe it is a path to explore.
Pity they want money to access the doc. I've spent years on a distributed, zero-knowledge sync service so would love to see what they've done. I should probably add the polish and make mine public, because as per the article I also feel this is the only way we'll ever get past the centralized giants. My test app is a document editor where multiple people can make and sync up changes to a shared doc without leaking anything, i.e. what's in the document, that it's a document, who they're collaborating with. Of course the client will be open source. It won't matter if the server is closed source or not. Not going anywhere near a blockchain with mine though, because if a user wants to delete a thing (anything that user created, including the user's account) it must (and will) be deleted.
