Class time! Maybe you've heard about Erasure coding but how about the math behind it? In this video, @drchloavery breaks it down for us 👩‍🏫

1) As we kick off 2024, let's take a look back on 2023 which was a remarkable year for Orchid having launched “Storchid”, our new decentralized storage initiative! We want to give a huge shout-out to our community and team that have made this initiative possible🙏 See thread…

We want to create a marketplace that is as fair as possible for both users and providers to mutually benefit. So another design component in our Storchid initiative is to introduce in-network Rate Certificates. 📄 In-network Rate Certificates serve as contracts between users and…

Happy New Year! What are your 2024 predictions? We’re looking at you, DePINs 👀

Data security is a huge priority for us. In our Storchid initiative, we have designed it so that providers will conduct self-audits through bonded commitments, erasing the need for expensive third-party auditors. This innovative approach not only ensures data integrity but also…

🧵The community is designing a marketplace for decentralized storage that is foundationally trustless and permissionless. Here's an overview of how Storchid can benefit both the user and provider👇

🧵Let's break down some of the technologies we will be focusing on in Storchid, our decentralized storage initiative👇

Did you hear about our decentralized storage initiative - Storchid (https://t.co/alp5l2oMeA)? How does Web3 storage affect you? 📦

Class time! Learn more about decentralized data storage and how we can store them durably and efficiently, with our very own mathematician @drchloavery 🎁

Decentralized storage systems exist but they are not truly decentralized or have terrible incentive mechanisms, our decentralized storage initiative - Storchid - aims to solve these issues ✅ Read more about it here: (https://t.co/alp5l2oep2)

Knowledge check time! How does decentralized storage achieve security?🔐

In case you missed it, we are introducing a Decentralised Storage Initiative - Storchid, and we would love your input as we build this out! Everything you need to know about Storchid🧩:

We launched our Decentralized Storage Initiative - Storchid just 24 hours ago through @CoinDesk ! Storchid is designed to “address trust and security holes in the current centralized data storage standards.” Read all about it and get involved here:

We have been building and the Orchid Community is proud to launch Storchid, a Decentralized Storage Initiative! 📦

You don't just have Xmas boxes to look forward to in December! 🎁 👀

Did you know🤔? Cloud assets are the biggest targets for cyberattacks. 39% of businesses experienced a data breach in their cloud environment in 2022. This is why it's crucial for data to be scattered across multiple nodes or servers in diverse locations, thwarting single…

Web3 cannot be fully realized if data availability and accessibility rely on centralized entities. As Web3 materializes, decentralized systems must become a fundamental pillar in shaping the decentralized internet. 🦸

It's December we have something very exciting in store! 📦👀

Don't worry, stringent regulation from bodies such as the GDPR means that Google only collects data from the following…

As AI advances, so do the challenges to protect an already declining Internet freedom from more sophisticated forms of censorship to disinformation. 👮‍♀️💻

According to Pew Research Centre, 81% of Americans express concerns regarding companies collecting private data. Do you care about companies collecting your personal data? 🕵️‍♂️

AI-driven tools have become more sophisticated, accessible, and widespread. According to Freedom House, 47 governments have used AI to manipulate online discussions, doubling the numbers from a decade ago. 🌐🕵️‍♂️

Browsing the internet freely means that we need to counter censorship by governments or any entity that seeks to restrict or control access to information, communication, or other online activities. 👩‍💻⛔️🕵️‍♂️

Decentralized solutions are censorship-resistant. Your data remains accessible even in regions with strict internet regulations. That's digital freedom 🚀

Did you know 🤔? According to the 2023 Thales Cloud Security Study, only 45% of sensitive data is encrypted. Having distributed data across multiple nodes with encryption you control makes it harder for data to become compromised.

Web 2.0 business models incentivized companies to track the way we navigate the web and sell our data. 🌐 With the arrival of Web 3.0, our mission at Orchid is to allow people to navigate the open web without compromising on censorship and privacy.🔒

📦 Centralized storage might seem convenient, but it comes with tradeoffs. Your data is in someone else's hands, vulnerable to outages, breaches, and control. 🕵️‍♂️

We've been building ⚒️

Privacy is a fundamental human right. We should not have to compromise on our privacy when we browse the web. Our mission is to allow people to browse the free, open internet in a private, secure manner. 💻 🔒

🔜 📦 👀

Privacy Matters!🔒 Decentralised VPNs offer users a great form of privacy. With no central authority or government holding your data, YOU are in control.

What is your biggest concern in crypto right now?👀

Did you know? 🤔 Multi-Hop VPNs offer greater anonymity because traffic could be routed through a series of nodes operated by different entities. By contrast, centralised VPNs have a single server, making it easier to monitor user activities.🧑‍💻

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) remains, fundamentally, an internet censorship bill.

A big THANK YOU to our community! 🙏 Your trust in our VPN product fuels the community to explore, innovate, and bring even more groundbreaking solutions to the table. Together, we'll shape the decentralized web. 🌍🤝 #OrchidFamily

Orchid is running! 👍

The House of Lords has utterly failed to have a serious debate about how the Online Safety Bill threatens encryption and privacy worldwide. They need to hear from us now.

Orchid's @saurik is heavily quoted in this article about Google's proposed WEI. "I feel like there is something even bigger at stake: this takes away even more control over your computer". Read about the proposed initiative from @TheRegister
