Bitcloud developers plan to decentralise internet
http://j.mp/1eWKGvi (BBC)
Bitcloud aims to harness the same methods used to mine Bitcoins, to
provide services currently controlled by internet service providers
(ISPs) and corporations. Individuals would perform tasks such as
storing, routing and providing bandwidth, in return for payment. The
founders are searching for developers for the project. "We will start
by decentralising the current internet, and then we can create a new
internet to replace it," they said.

By the way, they also plan to give everyone ponies and on-demand rainbows.
