Maybe you havent heard of it, apparently. I guess being that it is basically an internet browser, it has a good bit to do with internet browsing. It still in its infancy, so there arent a lot of obvious apps but Im only one of thousands who have been working on building apps for it, and listening to a lot of tech conferences about blockstack. The growing list of investors into blockstack is impressive to say the least. It will most likely revolutionize using the internet along with crypocurrency. It is coming out of the desire for more security and stability, and anonymity. blockstack.org
I know what block stack is and no it isn't an "internet" browser, Block stack is at best an intranet browser. This is a closed system with little value, hardly the internet killer you want it to be. Again, it's not the internet because it's not accomplishing the basic goal of 90% of internet use and that is simply browsing simple mundane information. These are all apps that have practical uses but not the novelty use that still dominates the internet. It's a fad that will never catch on because the large majority of internet users use it for mundane tasks that require no real special privacy considerations and therefor will not submit to the more difficult on boarding task.
I get it you think you are part of some sort of revolution...but you aren't. You think what your doing is a noble cause...but it's not. Block chain is the 2010's snake oil a cure all that has little value in most applications. It has a place in ownership mechanisms but basic browsing there is none. The whole concept is counter intuitive to what the internet is, it is about openness and exploration not hiding. As I explained the interconnection of devices and services that the block chain evangelicals want to pretend is a problem is actually the thing most common internet users want. It's a fools errand to believe that people want security, no the majority of people want ease of use. Block chain is not ease of use and therefor it is obsolete before it begins.
Fun Fact: block stack has 113k monthly visits....Google has 3.5 billion searches per day.
