This is a different kind a different kind of cloud: more like a 'dust storm' of strongly encrypted information. Ideally, for extra anonymity, all network traffic is also routed through Tor (a global maze of computers which hides your footprints), though this currently faces some serious technical challenges. ### Unmonetizable
