molus··on Decentralization Dilemma
> ZeroNet seemed pretty easy though and well designed, so I'm not sure about the author's grievances against that one.

I like ZeroNet quite a bit myself. I found it really interesting because it applied p2p without the trendy keyword "blockchain" next to it.

Also, I don't have much grievances against any decentralization tech itself. The fact that they exist, they are Open Source and bright minds are working on them full/part-time, means we are all better off for having such technology.

> What problems are people trying to solve with decentralization?

If you are following the rise of "dapps" or blockchain applications (circa 2017) then I would answer your question with "almost anything Internet-related".

Some examples:

* Decentralized Storage (IPFS)

* Decentralized Computation (Golem)

* Decentralized Professional Networking (Indorse)

There are many other examples, but a lot of them are vaporware and not worth mentioning.
