Please give your suggestion a TL;DR title:

Website Revamp & refresh.

Explain in detail what your suggestion is:

We've been talking about a website refresh. As suggested by primate we should break this up into two parts:

Part 1: Body Copy refresh

Part 2: Entire Site Revamp.

For now, we can handle the Body Copy refresh in-house however there is the possibility to out-source the Revamp.

Immutable. Easy to Use. Decentralized.

Ethash POW | No ICO | No Pre-Mine | Application-Specific Masternodes | End-To-End Decentralized Hosting | DApps

A fully decentralized hosting platform that combines blockchain indexing technology and the IPFS protocol to deliver decentralized content on-demand. The ethoFS network is a fully functioning website hosting platform which utilizes the node network for storage and bandwidth, along with providing DDoS protection, censorship resistance and high reliability due to not having any single points of failure.

Decentralize Everything

Imagine a world where social media content was completely held in the public domain and was 100% immutable. A voting system that was run with complete transparency. A version of the internet where the Googles, Facebooks, and Amazons didn’t control a majority of all web content and traffic flow. The idea of a completely decentralized, the democratized web is not only a utopian dream but now achievable.

Goals

Our project's goal is to bring all this together by providing a streamlined, completely decentralized development and content hosting platform that is usable by anyone.

I have purposely left out the obvious things which do not require changes such as links, node tier etc. If anyone from the community would like to rewrite some of the content please feel free to rewrite & comment it here.

ethoFS: The Features.

Next-Generation Content Hosting
Ease of Use
Performance

Next-Generation Content hosting:
Ether-1 is an Ethereum based blockchain that integrates PoW and a three-tier masternode system to secure the network. Ether-1 uses the collective power of hundreds of masternodes to power ethoFS, a fully decentralized hosting platform that uses the combination of a blockchain indexing system and the IPFS protocol to deliver decentralized content on-demand.

Easy to Use:
Users can interface with the ethoFS network through a variety of ways, including an innovative instantaneous browser-based node, allowing them to drag and drop content they wish to deploy and index on the blockchain. The browser-based node automatically uploads and replicates the content to the entire network.

ethoFS Performance:
The ethoFS system is a fully functioning website hosting solution utilizing the node network for storage and bandwidth. Masternode owners are paid through a block reward, and receive a share of the profit generated by hosting fees, an innovative way for node owners to take ownership in providing network functionality and security.

Common Questions
I Need Help!

What is ethoFS?
ethoFS combines the Ether-1 Service/Master/Gateway Node Network with IPFS to deliver decentralized content on a scale not seen before. Users are able to upload content or a website via a simple UI which is decentrally hosted with ethoFS.

Why Is Decentralized hosting with ethoFS such a big deal?
Immutability, zero censorship and attack/DDOS resistance are just a few of the benefits. Hosting a website or application via a decentralized solution closes most attack vectors and makes if far too expensive for any nefarious actor to attempt attacking a website. This alleviates one of the major problems/costs companies have to deal with today while using a normal centralized hosting service. Several governments and large corporate entities choose to filter and/or censor the content you are able to see. A decentralized delivery of this content could allow for uncensored and freer-flowing information.

How long is my hosting contract valid for?

Hosting Contracts are valid for following time periods:

• 100,000 Blocks - approximately 15 Days
• 200,000 Blocks - approximately 30 Days
• 300,000 Blocks - approximately 45 Days
• 400,000 Blocks - approximately 60 Days
• 500,000 Blocks - approximately 75 Days
• 600,000 Blocks - approximately 90 Days
• 700,000 Blocks - approximately 105 Days
• 800,000 Blocks - approximately 120 Days
• 900,000 Blocks - approximately 135 Days
• 1,000,000 Blocks - approximately 150 Days

PLEASE NOTE THESE NUMBERS ARE ESTIMATES THE DURATION MAY BE LONGER OR SHORTER - IT IS DEPENDANT ON THE ETHER-1 NETWORK.

Can I cancel a Hosting Contract?
Yes, you can cancel a contract at any time. You will automatically receive a refund to the wallet you used to pay for the contract.

Refunds are calculated as follows:
Amount of ETHO paid - TX Fee = Answer 1. Answer 1 DIVIDED by the remaining blocks on the contract = Refund Amount. Amount of ETHO paid - TX Fee = Gross refund. Gross refund/remaining blocks on contract = Refund amount.

How much does hosting cost?
Specific costs have not been decided/determined yet but when we have reached full deployment, a user will be able to upload their content via a decentralized application and pay for the service with ETHO. The cost will be based on the size/storage space required by the content uploaded and the user will be charged a periodic fee (in ETHO) for as long as they want that content available on the network.
