ICP (Internet Computer) is a Layer 1 blockchain that is totally decentralized, all data and processing is on the chain, and can host any other blockchain. It will be the next cloud provider to challenge the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon
I lived in London in the 80s (when there was 2/3 of the world's current population) and workmanship was as obvious as expensive watches are today. Twice the cost of rack clothing, but lasted longer, could be modified, and clothing was not just something you wore. It defined you and your values.
The future of payments is here! 🚀
Bitcoin’s 10-minute block confirmations make it unfeasible for everyday payments—until now. We’ve been working hard to bring you the latest innovations in decentralized payments!

If what is going on now does not show how much we need to learn about Cyber Security, then we are doomed. I am personally saving up for a new computer to put Linux and Linux phone. I don't trust the tools we are using.
Now why would Trump fire election security experts? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
They can't admit they are wrong, they are a cult and will only listen to what their leaders says and as we have seen, he always blames his disasters on someone else. When they go broke it will because of DEI, no Musk shutting the gov down, or his policies

Another excellent perspective on what the Internet Computer is, how it came to be, and what it can become. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18601...
Standard Blockchain resource requirements vs ICP - Internet Computer capabilities
Any interaction with a blockchain other than ICP will incur fees, because any blockchain that can’t store data fully on-chain is essentially just a ledger. No matter how advanced the ledger is, it can only sign a transaction quickly and securely. As a ledger, that is the best it can offer.
This is brilliant! My brother is a psychiatrist and always emphasizes engaging children early in decision making, risk/reward concepts, and what all children seem to have instinctively - fairness. One of my favorite things about ICP is watching how its DAO develops. I think your idea is a winner 😇
@patriciabusking00.bsky.social It is great to see such generosity to your community. Have you considered starting a trust and investing some of your winnings in Bitcoin through the trust? That way the trust will be able to continue to grow and you will be able to give money for a very long time.
I have started this feed to help promote the ICP (Internet Computer) and its ecosystem. I am not a social media specialist, so I will only be able to repost articles from ICP Influencers I follow until they create their own accounts. Please follow references to all posts to read the source post
This chain is a copy of an article by Cryptalo.icp.bitfinity on the 'other' social media outlet. This is by far one of the best compilations of the development of the Internet Computer I have read. If you are still a member of 'that' app, please look him up, like the original article and follow him.
The DFINITY Foundation, and the fast growing Internet Computer community, are focused on building-out a new web3 internet ecosystem, and eventually moving the vast majority of online systems and services onto the Internet Computer, replacing traditional IT that drives a blockchain singularity.
Smart contracts running on the Internet Computer can create transactions on other blockchains, and its capabilities are now being used to orchestrate multi-chain systems, and create user experiences and functionality for services running on other chains.
Projects running on the Internet Computer are unique in the blockchain industry, because they run entirely from the blockchain, without reliance on cloud computing and centralized traditional IT to function, as is required with other blockchains.
Thankfully, this situation is slowly clearing, and moreover, it did little to dent developer interest in the project. The IC now has thousands of developers building on the network, its developer community regularly clocks more "GitHub commits" than any other in the blockchain industry.
The attacks that were launched also substantially disrupted the markets for the Internet Computer network's ICP utility token, and led to misconceptions and disinformation about the project becoming widespread.
The full scale of the attacks and corruption directed at the project is now slowly being exposed, including by investigative journalism efforts such as cryptoleaks.info.
At launch, the Internet Computer project faced a firestorm of attacks from other projects in the blockchain industry. The DFINITY Foundation, which is primarily a research and development organization, was ill-equipped to deal with the attacks, and was substantially disrupted for some time.
The Internet Computer network underwent genesis May 2021, and transitioned into a decentralized production mode. This will be seen as an momentously impactful event in the history of tech and blockchain.
The IC runs on a sovereign network of dedicated hardware special node machines. A community of independent node providers had to be established, who would purchase or build these machines, and run them from data centers around the world. This was bootstrapped by the DFINITY Foundation.
The Internet Computer network is also adaptive, self-governing and self-updating, thanks to an advanced DAO called the Network Nervous System that runs within its protocols. It represents an enormous technical achievement.
The Internet Computer also uses a completely novel blockchain architecture, which is necessary to deliver the World Computer vision, and depends on many innovations in areas spanning its WebAssembly-based smart contract execution environment to new computer languages such as Motoko.
The scale of the technical challenges involved in creating a protocol that incorporated such advanced cryptography and protocol math was enormous, and was achieved only through the incredible efforts of a large and highly dedicated team of cryptographers, computer science researchers and engineers.
This was achieved using a groundbreaking non-interactive DKG (distributed key generation) and key re-sharing protocol, devised by Jens Groth, another famous cryptographer working at DFINITY. This works in conjunction with updated protocols, described in "The Internet Computer for Geeks" paper.

To launch the Internet Computer, the R&D team had to implement protocols that would allow it to establish chain key cryptography material on nodes in a decentralized network setting.
Across all research centers, more than 20% of all staff members joined from Google or IBM, and more than 20% are alumni of Zürich ETH and EPFL. The DFINITY Foundation has a better balance of the sexes than most tech organizations, and 43% of department heads across the world are women.
