Skyminer Powers Skywire

provides a blockchain-based, decentralized internet that users can browse securely and privately. When users forward traffic and bandwidth on Skywire via the Skyminer, they earn Skycoin. When users need to access the bandwidth, they pay Skycoin. This setup incentivizes users to power Skywire's peer-to-peer environment.

To access Skywire, a user runs a node. Like Tor, nodes forwarding traffic only see the previous and next hop. Unlike Tor, the experience is faster, more secureand users get paid to run their node. For users sick of battling corporate ISPs and corrupt coins, the Skycoin project is the solution.
