So in theory, it is impossible for the network to go down unless the chain goes down. Only if the validators are compromised can the dvpn network get compromised

Torrents use a system of DHT that depends on active peers uploading to seeders or now downloaders, however if the peer count drops then the torrent p2p network becomes weak

However using high throughput genius chain like cosmos we have the ability to have nodes identify their availability directly to the chain, and have the user interface with the chain to find the node

What this means is that we can potentially create a revolution in the architecture of VPN applications in the industry as a whole. No longer do VPN companies need centralized structures which create vulnerabilities, they can transition to a ledger based structure for query

A vpn application is comprised of a few key elements which includes, centralized keystore/user access management, centralized node query, and centralized payment gateway

With sentinel we have the ability to decentralized the authentication/keystore with pub/priv key auth. We have the ability to decentralized the node query structure with our on chain DHT system, and also we have the ability to create decentralized payment structures for example the way you have to lock in tokens in the existing application

We have been waiting and preparing and working for the perfect application with no bugs, and then it is off to the races

If we hit over 500k on ETH with a subpar app compared to what we have now, then it's about to get nasty once we push now hard. Millions of downloads and dozens of white labels are coming 100%

The performance of the price and the market is extremely abysmal and truly we feel extremely bad and in dismay for individuals who may have invested what they could not afford to lose in this crash

We started as a 2m market cap network in 2017, and we then went to 50m in 2018 and then back to 2m until 2020 covid time. And then we went to 500m fdv and then we have fallen back down horribly

Lack of marketing and community proliferation is to blame from our side however we had decided to wait to blast out on promotion and proliferation once we had the perfect app because the first impression is the best impression and we needed to make sure there are no user grievances

The strategy could have been wrong or right, we cannot say. However we are very certain of the future

Thank you so much to the community, institutions who supported us, node operators, white-label entrepreneurs, validators, and it is truly amazing to see so many deep tech privacy enthusiasts join the group

From today we will begin a new paradigm my brothers. We must create a global network of freedom to allow for individuals all over the world to break out of the matrix by having access to ancient hidden information that is available on the internet. The internet is like the allegory of the surgeon knife

Surgeon knife can be used to kill or do surgery, the intention and outcome is in the hand of the beholder. And now humanity is waking up to the global oppression and control, however if the internet is repressed then the global connection becomes severed

This mission is very important and critical to the future, we need white-labels in every major country. We need people to be able to safely and securely access information without their rights being compromised

Let us begin the new paradigm

Announcement: The Sentinel dVPN Network Stats Page will be live again within the coming days

Note: The image posted with this announcement is of a future Stats/explorer page design that will not be implemented in the immediate weeks

The Sentinel Stats back-end interface was rendered ineffective due to a lack of compatibility ever since dVPN node hosts had to upgrade to Wireguard dVPN Docker v0.3.1. The back-end for the stats page can be seen as a completely decentralized data query system where all of the data was derived from the Sentinel blockchain with no centralized servers keeping track of nodes and other metrics.

The previous back-end architecture was configured for the previous dVPN node docker images, however after significant changes in the dVPN node code - the back-end system had to be reconfigured to properly compile the data from Sentinel's Cosmos based Hub's blocks.

The network metrics has been on a very strong trajectory in recent times as will be displayed by the stats page very soon.
