The powers that be are cracking down on the internet and I fear we will soon find ourselves without a home online. Someone as mild as Alex Jones can be deplatformed now. If the kikes had the power to kick him off the net then they would. Anons in the EU are facing more and more draconian censorship laws and if the dems come back into power then we will see similar laws here. While we should definitely be getting off of websites like Facebook and Twitter, we need something that can't be shut down. We need an decentralized alternative to the internet. The only thing close to that (that I know of) is HAMnet and packet radios. If any anons have better solutions please share them with the rest of the class. We need an alternative and we need it soon or we are fucked.

I've heard of a crypto currency called "Gridcoin" where users mine coins by lending their computer's processing power to help with research. Maybe this is a stupid question, but could something like that be made where users could lend processing power to host servers or something? It would be decentralized and it would incentivize users to connect to the meshnet.

It'd have to have a big insensitive for mining otherwise it'd be pretty weak as far as speed goes. But any possibility where we could create a blockchain-esc decentralized internet would be ideal. Though I guess the big problem would be all the pizza that would be on it inevitably.

Well anon, you are basically asking for an intercontinental instantaneous connection to send and receive messages that is des-centralized and cannot be shut down.
It is obvious that radio waves is the only acceptable technology we have for that outside of the internet itself.
If anons could get themselves some military-grade radios that would be possible.
Barrett 2090 is an old model, so it's cheap and it's also effective if we are going into that path.
It is also possible to transmit information from one computer to another using it with a custom program and a custom cable.

Idk really, the radios we have here are old, so they might come cheap, around 400 to 1200 usd probably.
I only know how to send data throught the barrett but i'm sure the PRC 9600 can also be addapted to send data via the pc, just like the barrett.
But tbh, do you really expect a lot of anons to go out there and learn how to use a radio to do this?

I expect a few anons to learn. Yeah most anons will probably be too lazy to learn, but just think how great a free and open internet would be.

There is also, or used to be, a radio network run by hackers in the Netherlands and Belgium at least, using just off the shelf hardware (i.e. not ham/packet radio) for point-to-point links and wifi for people connecting locally.
Building a parallel Internet free from government control used to be a regular topic in hacker circles 5-10 years ago, but I haven't heard much about it lately. Considering that we're seeing codes of conduct at hacker cons and open support for lefty politics and for doxing "nazis and racists" I doubt that there is much enthusiasm for things like alternative social media though.
But it's definitely possible to build an alternative internet as a group of people with a common interest. You need money to put up masts (or rent space on existing ones?), radio link hardware that isn't that expensive nowadays, and you can actually build your own network backbone. Hooking people up through wifi could be trickier, maybe you'd want to use short haul links to separate neighborhoods and then wifi only to nearby buildings.
Also not selling the concept as "we're building the alt-right Internet!" is probably a good idea. A non-centralized network owned by the users, free from corporate and government influence (Druumpfh!) is something many people could get behind.
