Blockchain-Based ‘Internet Computer' Gets $61M from Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain

Top Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital, a cryptocurrency hedge fund, have invested $61 million in Dfinity Foundation, a firm that intends to connect multiple computers together using blockchain to build an “Internet” computer.

When the network was tested last year, it was 600 times faster than the prevailing speeds in ethereum’s network at that time.


Williams said the “Internet computer” can act as a public cloud that competes with the likes of Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Google. “The total cost of ownership of these business systems will be dramatically lower,” he said.

Part of the reason for this is because it will simplify complicated enterprise IT systems that involve multiple components such as databases and backup systems and cut costs by an estimated 90%.

ROBERT STEELE: As promising as some of these developments are, they are in isolation from a larger architecture such as the Open Source Agency (OSA) would provide, and they appear to lack holistic commitment to individual sovereignty.  Most of them appear to have “back doors” for the 1% to retain power over both currency and information. Most of them have no concept for reaching the five billion poor or processing more than 1% of the online information which is turn 1% of analog and unpublished information.  None of them provide for the suite of sense-making and information-sharing tools that are needed to empower the 99% over the 1% inclusive of near-real-time true cost economics calculations. For this reason I continue to believe that we not only need an Open Source Agency, but also a Computation Integrity Council led by someone like Stephen Wolfram. I have recently been approached by two separate patrons, one in Asia one in the USA, who potentially represent a starting investment of $125M. I have created a C Corporation, Open Source Everything, Inc. (25,000 shares) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and may soon start building that which CIA has opposed for 40 years.  We march on, against all opposition.
