Hello
In today's post, I would like to tell an interesting story that there is really worthwhile software in the world, what marketing is wrong, and how it is bad to turn to wrong media personalities. Of course, most people know about it. But I think this should be publicly shown, maybe for many and will be useful in the future.
Let's start from the very beginning, namely from the software Utopia and the 1984 Group. Of course, little is known about them; more precisely, practically nothing is known. But there is a brief information about her. All of course taken only from the official beta of the portal and block hackology
Spoiler for compact post) About Utopia ecosystem
Utopia – Anti 1984 Ecosystem
Utopia is a decentralized peer-to-peer network, With Utopia you can send instant text and voice messages, transfer files, create group chats and channels, send emails and conduct a private discussion. Currently Utopia is an application for Windows, iOS and Linux which offers all the features within one application. Utopia users get on their ‘Utopia ecosystem‘ as the application also provides a built-in Idyll browser to view websites within Utopia peer-to-peer network . Utopia comes with a Cryptocurrency which is called ‘Crypton‘ and is Proof-of-Stake. uWallet allows you to store,transfer your Crypton(CRP) or even create vouchers and credit cards, Utopia Network includes Utopia Name System (UNS) which is a decentralized registry of names that are impossible to expropriate, freeze or corrupt by 3rd-party as no one has control over the system rather its self-governed by rules set in place which are applicable to everyone.
Register yourself as a Beta Tester, Contributor or a Promoter. Each category gets to enjoy the ecosystem while the rewards vary (reward system will be explained shortly).
Utopia ecosystem is a culmination of multi-year effort by a group of technology enthusiasts dedicated to freedom of self-expression and privacy. We call ourselves a 1984 Group. Among us there are top-notch professionals in almost every IT field, such as cryptographic, software, networking engineers and many more. This has been a long and challenging journey. After all this had never been done before! Finally, we present an ecosystem that will change the way World communicates and handles financial transactions. Utopia brief taken from their official website. Mentioning ‘financial transactions’ makes one wonder that Bitcoin was also disrupting the conventional financial system
Lets Explore Utopia and all the features in detail. please note as this is a beta application many of the features might change in future or some even get removed.
Utopia Encryption
Each user participates in transmission of network data but only the recipient can decrypt the data. Advanced encryption ensures interception-proof communication channel to all Utopia users. All communication is secure and protected by Curve25519 high-speed elliptic curve cryptography while local storage is encrypted by 256-bit AES. Big Brother is no longer watching you!

Utopia Dashboard
Utopia is a feature-rich platform that is specifically designed to protect privacy of communication, confidentiality and security of personal data. It was created for privacy-conscious public who believe that privacy is paramount. Utopia is a decentralized network, with no central server involved in data transmission or storage. The network is supported by people who use it’s many high quality features.

The first glimpse we get of the application is at the Dashboard which has navigational menu for easy access to all of its many features for us to explore, use and report bugs while it is in beta testing phase.
uMail (Utopia Mail)
uMail is a secure alternative to classic e-mail. uMail can be sent to Utopia users that are in your contact list for now. uMail has all functionality of email localized to Utopia ecosystem. No servers are used for mail transmission or storage. uMail account, that is created by default when you join the Utopia network, enables unlimited messaging and attachment storage. Utopia ecosystem encryption guarantees the security of mail transmission and storage. Your uMail, as an internal part of Utopia, cannot be blocked or seized.

All those who value their data privacy would find this useful including activists and journalists knowing that their data is going straight to the designated user and no 3rd party can intercept their data. Currently the limit set for the attachments is 100 MB but as per the team it may be increased in future.
uWallet (Utopia Wallet)
All financial functionality can be found in Utopia built-in uWallet. uWallet allows you to make and accept payments denominated in Utopia cryptocurrency ‘Crypton‘, accept payments at your website, pay by Crypto Cards without revealing your Identity or bill fellow Utopia users for your services. With uWallet you can store value in Cryptons, receive mining rewards, use uVouchers, request payments and accept payments using the built-in API.
Utopia Mining – Crypton
Utopia has an inbuilt cryptocurrency called Crypton (CRP), which is proof-of-stake therefore a modest machine can also be used to mine cryptons through the GUI based Utopia application or with terminal based Mining bot which comes with the application.
https://i.redd.it/aadlqb8crmc31.jpg
Utopia rewards users that support the ecosystem through Mining by emission of new Cryptons. When you run your Utopia software or bot you will receive your share of collective reward. Mining does not slow your computer down and is environmentally friendly. You may also run a number of bots at several servers or computers to multiply the Crypton mining speed.

uNS (Utopia Naming System)
Utopia has introduced uNS (Utopia Naming System) which is a unique naming system and independent from the conventional Domain Naming System. DNS is subject to pressure and censorship from less than prefect international laws. Domains can be revoked or suspended due to multiple reasons, such as non-response to WhoIS inquiry or other register policies, non-payment, government actions and so on.
uNS, in contrast, is a truly decentralized non-censored registry hosted by Utopia Network participants with no expiration dates, renewal fees, suspensions and revocations. There is only one rule: First come, First served.
https://i.redd.it/pfwstp5grmc31.jpg
uNS registered name should be unique. You may register as many uNS registered names as you want while registration is not free and costs are paid in crypton:
Single letter uNS costs 1000 CRP
Two letter uNS costs 500 CRP
Three letter uNS costs 5 CRP
Four letter or more costs 0.1 CRP
Miscellaneous Features
Making Groups, Adding users, Chatting and Emailing, Sending Mails and Mining Cryptons might be the highlights but Utopia claims to be an ecosystem therefore they had to incorporate many more features so that users of Utopia ecosystem do not feel the need to go out of the system. List of other useful features within the Utopia Application are listed
Packet Forwarding : uNS Manager lists option of ‘Packet Forwarding’ which is an internal system allowing any utopian user to host a website which can be accessed by the Idyll browser, the naming system of the website is explained above, if you register hackology uNS you can make a website and it will open when you visit http://hackology/ and that is it. This option allows to tunnel any kind of data between users in ecosystem, making possible to host different types of resources including websites inside Utopia Network. At the time of writing few fellow Utopia users made Utopia sites which can be accessed at http://trade/ and at http://crystalforest

File Manager : All files which are sent or received in Utopia can be accessed from the builtin file manager which also includes an image viewer. As of now the file transfers are limited to 100MB.
Voice Notes : Utopia also supports sending and receiving of Voice messages which you can send to those who are added with you.
Dark Theme : The program comes in standard theme but how can they miss out a Dark Theme for the privacy savvy ? Users can opt for dark theme by going to Tools > Settings > Interface and selecting the ‘Dark Space‘ theme
Utopia API : Utopia comes with a comprehensive API for users to incorporate in their own projects. For instance, using API you can accept payments denominated in Crypton at your website, automatically manage your channels, send instant messages and much more. To get started once you enable the API you can also access the API documentation.
Network Fee Structure : Utopia provides us with an option to view all the network enforced fee and they are updated live on the network as the fee structure changes, thus one can stay updated with the current fee structure. You can access the Network Fee from uWallet > Treasury Data > Network Fee

Game : Utopia also supports in-app games which can be played in multiplayer, as of writing there is a working Chess game.

Well, now I want to say personally my opinion after using Utopia.
It is very difficult to judge a product at the beta test stage, but at the moment I can highlight both the pros and cons of both the program and the team that develops it. I want to notice that this is my subjective opinion and you can or may not share it. So, let's begin:
Advantages:
- In principle, everything is really anonymous, as far as can be judged really using this software.
- Non-indexable channels (If you make it private and hide it from the search) at least we tested it inside the ecosystem. To find even by keywords is not real
- Non-indexable pages that you create. If you do not have a direct link, find a site even in the global search is not possible
- Easy mining of krypton. Even the weakest computers do not load, very comfortable
- Convenient system of anonymity of user information (Without exchange of public keys, even the avatar will not work)
- An easy-to-learn interface that arrived to us from 2004 (Old School will understand and appreciate)
- In fact, it reminds the decentralized Internet and may well become such with the proper development
- Inside the ecosystem there are no labels and notions of who is who, which simplifies the interaction within it
- Intervention from outside is at least very difficult, tried methods known to us, failed
- Indeed similar to a decentralized ecosystem.
- The team quickly fix problems
- Availability of detailed and collapsible instructions to all APIs within the ecosystem
There are many advantages and if I list everything, the post will be unrealistically large, therefore I have identified the main ones, and everyone after use must decide for himself what he liked.
And now about the shortcomings, they will be more likely related to common problems than specifically to the software or the command:
- Many functions that will have to be mastered by yourself, almost 0 guides
- The reaction of the team to the problems through the support leaves much to be desired
- The presence of bugs (not critical and absolutely, just not pleasant, both visually and in use)
- Not the right choice of PR company to promote software
- The team is known for development but is not good friends with product promotion.
- Localization, while only English (Well, this is a lesser problem)
- Absence of the familiar function (for example, attached videos and the like)
- All traffic from the site, even if you put it on the UPU goes through you, and in fact it denies anonymity. Why is this a disadvantage? Not only which VPS will agree that you would put Utopia, because the software scans the ports, which is forbidden without identification on most of the UPU. This is problem. If you put on the UPU, of course, the ends will not come to you, but if Utopia is on your car and the site is on the UPU, all site traffic will go through your public IP, which does not promise any anonymity.
While this is the most powerful problems of utopia, there may be more petty, but it is really not significant.
And now let's talk about NetStalkers, and here they are, because in the title they are.
The fact is that the 1984 Group bought advertising from this media team. I’ll say right away that I have nothing against the truly existing NetStalkers movement, now it concerns only the YouTube media community. So, having bought advertising from this wretched, deceitful and hypocritical community, Utopi had problems, because lovers of free-mining mining, children and inadequacies from all over the CIS and their usefulness were even zero, rushed into the software, moreover, all this garbage put a system on the blades because of spam, a huge amount of spam for which the 1984 Group was not ready. This is actually a terrible move.
Our small team very much hopes that this team can still draw conclusions from this, since only we worked, we chose the most adequate and interested contingent for this software from the CIS and we hope that in the future we will continue to cooperate with them.
If you like this post, I will continue to conduct similar topics and develop these areas, perhaps I will write guides on Utopia and will support this direction.
At the moment, because of the bad PR campaigns from the media slag community, the CIS, they no longer approve traffic, however, it’s even embarrassing to say that it’s from the CIS because such a manifestation of our community leaves much to be desired and even shows us adequate people in extremely bad light .
With you was MrHarr1son I was glad for you to try. If there are comments, or add something, write. I will be glad to discuss.
