We can start Internet 2.0, a HackNet, just for hackers. Create your own DNS server, register non-commercial hacker sites only, create catalogue and decentralized search engine for these servers. Commercial operators will see no value in this parallel network, because google will be unable to index it, so spam problem will gone.

Creating a DNS server is beyond Googles abilities? Why will Google be unable to index it? If you can read the catalogue, they surely can.

If people are using it, they will want to put ads on it. Why wouldn't they? And why are 'hackers' separate from 'people who want money for their work' in this scenario?

These servers will not be accessible with normal DNS turned on, so Google may index it technically, but links will not work for normies, because they know nothing about DNS or networks. Technically competent users can switch DNS server, so they will.

Yes, it will be possible to show ads, but ads may link to sites within the parallel DNS system only.

Hackers, who want money for their work, are called security experts.

>We can start Internet 2.0

we're already at ipv6 and web3.0 /s

deep/dark web does still exist

Hmm, not a bad idea. I’ll add that to my feature list for newnet.

The arrow of time only goes one way. We can't go back now.

I would love to be involved in this
