Dr. Hack discusses privacy and messaging in the Utopia ecosystem

0:22utopia i love if you could kick it off by giving an overview of what exactly is the utopia platform and the vision and the purpose of the platform sure before i explain the vision and purpose of utopia i will need to explain utopia and i will do it in a one-liner utopia is an all-in-one kit for secure instant messaging encrypted email communication anonymous payments and

0:46private web browsing utopia has a very straightforward vision and that is the protection of basic human rights in regards to the privacy of communication and the freedom of self-expression utopia is a platform which is self-regulating which ensures online privacy and freedom about purposes it has many purposes now utopia is not just an application rather it is an

1:09ecosystem as you introduced during your introduction and the reason why it's called an ecosystem is due to its ability to provide set of tools and features which enable it users to perform all their online activities without having to leave the platform from chatting with users to setting up channels based on your interest and requirement to using its integral true privacy coin

1:32known as krypton krypton can be used to make and receive payments and the purpose of integrating it right into the platform is to enable users to stay anonymous because they will not have to leave the platform for any of their tasks we all know that selected individuals and companies make billions of dollars from our data but with whose consent they do that have

1:52we ever wondered what there is that there's not even a single online social media platform which gives us an option that i can pay a monthly fee and i won't it won't show me any targeted ad and they won't use our data for their own goals it seems weird but that is a fact because they need our interest to make money out of it that's a very interesting predicament

2:16that we are in right now with these social ecosystems and you're right you aren't able to just have a paid version where you don't have your data sold so and it seems like it's becoming more and more of an issue each each day each month each year so i'm glad that utopia is proposing these these different kind of solutions where privacy is a major factor that

2:41those users care about now can you dive into a little bit on how does utopia protect users privacy sure currently governments in partnership with the world's largest it cooperation have a goal of complete information supremacy over the world to achieve their goals government have been ready to take every unlawful and unethical step necessary to intercept and analyze every single bit

3:06of data that is sent over any network utopia works in a fashion so that same control can be given back to the users utopia being a decentralized peer-to-peer platform with no central server which is regulating or monitoring its users utopia has uses its mining which is based on proof of memory and proof of routing to provide stability to the network

3:30and as a number of mining nodes increase that same stability increases along with it that's great and that this is a major problem and there are other solutions as well that are trying to solve these same problems is there something about the utopia ecosystem that is unique and different from other security conscious platforms there are various platforms on the

3:55internet which give you limited privacy the issue with all those platforms is that the user always has to leave that particular platform and jump to another to avail the same level of privacy to perform another task because there is no such platform which can be labeled as an ecosystem like utopia tor allows you to broad browse websites with anonymity but we all know how some

4:18famous online stores were shut down by using an exploit in the browser extension and compromised exit or nodes is known by all it's a disaster monero on another hand is a private coin but we have seen cases where users have been traced as all the users have to at least use one or more services from the clear net that is the weak part utopia solves this

4:42issue by providing each and every feature under one application either you want to chat send or receive a payment you can do that without being worried about exposing yourself for example a whistleblower can very easily send documents to a journalist inside utopia and he can be tipped by that journalist with the integral cryptocurrency krypton without having to

5:02leave the platform at any time apart from all these factors i just mentioned one more reason i like to highlight what makes utopia appear to be your ecosystem unique as a platform so for security and privacy-minded individual is that even the most novice of users can achieve the highest grade of security and privacy for a variety of function that others

5:23would require very advanced level of competency to achieve through their fragmented software and services definitely and i like that point about the journalists transferring information privately and allowing to have that freedom of speech within the platform that's something that's been a major topic of discussion around the whole world now with this communication there

5:46also is with the security and the privacy it's under some form of encryption can you talk about does it use blockchain technology or cryptography and what kind of encryption and how that security portion works and protects that privacy sure all the user data account is stored on utopia's user's local device it is not on the cloud it is not anywhere when i

6:08make an account my data is in my computer it is in an encrypted file using 256 bit aes encryption and that is known as a container one cannot log in without the encrypted container giving added protection to the user data does ensuring privacy if i have my username and password i will still need my container to log into my account the many features of utopia including instant messaging

6:30encrypted email file sharing group chats channels games website hosting and digital currency they are all protected by curve 255.9 elliptic curve cryptography which offers a 128 bit security bit and is one of the fastest ecc curve and more resistant to the weak number random generator it makes it next to impossible for any sort of invasive attacks including manage the middle tax on the

6:52network or its users great thank you dr hack for that and my next question is are there any restrictions to who can use the network being a decentralized platform applying restriction is out of scope and it's technically not possible channel creators however can have their rules and manually enforce them that is their own domain because it's their

7:16own channel they can have their own set of rules inside that channel and they can moderate those channels however they see fit definitely and are you and the platform's been live for a while now is the community i know it's a decentralized ecosystem so there really isn't any company that's running it's just an ecosystem that's running itself but is there any incentivization or user

7:40adoption to from the early community in there to help grow utopia or is it more of an organic growth and people are just finding it as a solution to problems that they have basically there are two avenues for this one is the community and one is commercial for the community part due to the private and secure nature of the ecosystem which is free of censorship and

8:06surveillance it is attracting flourishing communities from around the world these communities will naturally grow over time as they find benefit in numerous functions of utopia and as industries also find it useful and utopia will attract talented developers and business development commercial opportunities will expand leading to a virtual cycle of users and

8:27builders but all this will happen on their own organically and naturally now at the beginning you mentioned krypton the crp native token which is used inside the ecosystem can you talk about the functions of that coin and can it also be used outside of the ecosystem or is it on the markets and what functionality is the primary function of crp

8:53crp is currently listed on few exchanges and talks are also going on to list it and more exchanges it can krypton is the integral currency of utopia it is used for every aspect in every other aspect for example there's a uns which we use to register nfts it's a sort of it's an identification thing like if i if my alias is dr hack i have

9:47are sent inside crypt utopia the wallets are inside utopia client and all these are sent inside utopia but they are also traded on exchanges anyone can buy it in exchange as well and then you can transfer it from in any other cryptocurrency they like that's great and thank you for that's that's impressive that you have our domains already and

10:10ready for us now what has been the response from the community members inside utopia with the response of crp how it functions and how it's growing within the ecosystem users have responded very positively towards crp krypton especially those who had the pleasure of using it and seeing how private and immediate transfers are early on new users who mine krypton

10:33would ask how they could exchange it for usdt or btc but more recently users have been declared the intent never to sell it and watch it grow too many times in its current price people are beginning to recognize the long-term value and many are comparing themselves to the early bitcoin investors and adopters the concept is unique and users find it the same way

10:56users like the fact that they are on a platform which is free from any prying eyes and krypton being the integral part of the ecosystem is liked for the same reason now you also mentioned at the beginning about mining and inside of utopia there's the uam the alternative miner can you talk a little bit about how that functions and why it's beneficial for the ecosystem

11:20utopia alternate miner or uam is built from scratch with goal of peer-to-peer network optimization and it comes with several advantages like speed stability performance as utopia stability is dependent on the mining nodes uam increases the proficiency of the network manifolds mining nodes the number of mining modes as they increase the network gets stable

11:45it gives efficiency to the network so that is the most important thing in utopia being a decentralized system more mining nodes means more decentralized stability to the network definitely and you mentioned there's already so many different functions inside of utopia with messaging file storage all of these things is your community done building or what

12:09are the milestones and major development releases that people can expect for utopia as it continues to grow into 2021 generally with projects related to crypto the road maps extend over years unlike other projects utopia delivered a fully functional project minor kings were iron tower in the four month beta period and now after one year since its launch utopia is

12:35very stable yet the team pushes minor updates to add features and further improve the experience however there are four major milestones the team has their site on a mobile-based utopia app third-party code audit decentralized exchange and decentralized storage implementing a mobile based client is not an easy task in a decentralized p2p system

12:58but it will greatly increase user adoption and utopia already comes with a fully functional api where any user can implement most of the utopia function in custom applications and services users have already developed telegram bots which can mirror your charts inside the channels on the telegram channel these things are already happening but through a dex or a decentralized

13:20exchange reliance on external crypto exchanges will be minimized while the same decks can be implemented by current users through the provided api and decentralized storage is another much asked feature currently it is possible to introduce that to the built-in packet forwarding feature the same way we host any clear net website inside utopia but the team has plans to eventually

13:41introduce file storage capability as the network matures and that's really interesting i'm looking forward to seeing the decentralized exchange and other decentralized finance and d5 applications as it continues to grow it will be easier and easier to implement that into a decentralized ecosystem like utopia so i will watch for that in 2021 now dr hack we're running short on

14:05time but i do have one or two last questions for you what would you say will be one of the major key success factors to the long-term success of a decentralized system like utopia maintaining the confidence of the community with respect to privacy and security promises of the ecosystem will be an essential factor to the long-time success of the decentralized ecosystem of utopia

14:30as more security professionals continue to analyze and probe the utopia software and confirm and outstanding performance that confidence will continue to build over time and the secrecy and the security and the private nature of utopia i think this will be the key factor of the long-term success of decentralized ecosystem that's great thanks and what's the best

14:50way for users who aren't already involved in the ecosystem to learn more to get involved and to get into utopia i'm glad you asked to fully understand the true potential of utopia i would urge all your viewers including you to log on to utopia ecosystem everyone can visit the official website at u.i.s and i'm sure people will be surprised by such a short domain but that's what

15:15utopia is something unique and again i told you cryptocoinshow.com and even chain io is awaiting your ownership great well thank you so much for the time dr hack it's been a very interesting discussion learning about utopia all the best with all of the growth in 2021 and let's follow up in the near future thank you very much action thank you
