Althea is a set of internet protocols with payment built in, creating incentives for rapid expansion and investment in the network. Althea provides a way for people maintaining internet infrastructure to be funded and compensated autonomously, without the need for governments or businesses.
Althea is a system that lets routers pay each other for bandwidth using cryptocurrency. Althea uses mesh technology to route around congestion and damage in the network, as well as routing to nodes that charge lower prices. All of this is done automatically and transparently.
Bandwidth payments are made second-by-second, using cryptocurrency. Each router in the system is independent- capable of collecting payments and determining the quality of its neighbours without a central authority.
Our vision for Althea:
- Anyone can make money selling internet service, with or without a huge amount of hardware and technical skill.
- Home devices switch to the best provider of internet minute by minute, automatically. Your home internet should get better and cheaper transparently without any action beyond a hardware upgrade every few years.
- Traffic is automatically secured from spying or discrimination.
- Cryptocurreny agnostic, it's not our business what sort of money you want to use, we welcome code for any crypto.
- Connectivity is made automatically competitive breaking telecommunications monopolies and drastically reducing prices while increasing quality of service.

confused as to how a yggdrasil node setup looks.
I've never so much as setup a router or firewall before so i'm not sure how a completly p2p yggdrasil setup looks? All the guides i see assumine im connecting to the internet. I am not, I want to host a local node for people in my area.
I have a wireless router or two. So how would this work..?
public wifi access point (not connected to internet) - > pc running yggdrasil..
i am really just confused. i'd like to get a meshnet wow server and ffxi server going for my orlando friends

How much can you make with an Althea setup?
Can anyone share?

Fibre optics in the urban environment?
I will assume that Althea was founded due to a lack of internet access in rural areas.
But, as I've thought about internet access in urban environments, I've had the following idea:
It should be possible to connect houses in close proximity via fibre optics. From my research, fibre optics would provide more bandwidth and be less expensive. If people already have an ISP, they could (at least in theory) share that uplink with their neighbours. So you'd have a highly efficient mesh network with a multitude of uplinks.
