About ePlug

MUNICH, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 28, 2014 -- ken Code announced today a prototype called "ePlug", a tiny internal circuit board for electrical outlets and light switches. An ePlug at its core is a tiny printed circuit board (PCB) that connects its chips internally to any "ePlug Certified" light switch or electrical outlet and amongst other things provides the owner with free, decentralized internet access, a technology referred to as Meshnet. Recent cryptographic and decentralization technologies have emerged such as Bitcoin and other Blockchain (Internet) based technologies. They proclaim to bring a "Web of Trust", reducing the need to rely on central authorities, Internet Service Providers and Content Delivery Networks. Four different versions of the ePlug line are currently being refined. Models include @switch, @outlet, @bed and @outdoor all of which add or remove specific features based upon usage. All models are based on Open Source Software and Hardware and are fully customizable and programmable by the owner. ken states that his vision for the ePlug line is "intended to proliferate free, decentralized internet and computing resources to every home and business on Earth", "cryptography can solve these issues of security and trust and Blockchain technologies are accomplishing that". Temperature, motion and light sensors are embedded, providing fire, security, timer and LED lighting abilities as well. The ePlugs can also work with Nest and other leading "Internet of Things" platforms if the owner activates them. Other items that ken has addressed include the elimination of WiFi "deadzones" and a mass reduction of servers, big data centers and other centralized points of failure or snooping. Using less than 1 Watt, ePlugs can reduce global "phantom loads" (electrical devices that are left on, useless LED's, etc) too, helping to green the planet. ken further states that "ePlugs can generate crypto-income for the owner, a process known as Farming" and: "the owner gains access to private, nearly unlimited global computing resources". http://startjo.in/ePlug
