This is a project for public benefit. You are invited to add your gratitude
and propose projects on a distributable ledger.
</p>
<p>
The underlying data is on a merkle tree with each verifiable claim, signature and all.
The chain includes individual IDs for discovery & visibility, so not all data is distributed -- yet.
The goal is to eventually distribute the data on people's devices with their chosen network,
where anyone could host their own chain of provenance if they choose.
The formats follow standard schemas (eg. schema.org) to encourage interoperability.
We're currently at the beginning phase where we're trusting the server to keep IDs private.
It's all open-source, and we expect to have a professional audit someday.
</p>
<p>
A person's network of contacts is similar: the server currently knows some of the links between people
to allow discovery and visibility. However, even that will be manageable on personal devices someday.
</p>
<p>
There are no tokens to maintain the chain: the purpose is to create software that communities
and activists can easily join and use. We're betting that this is a case where network
participants have the motivation to run the software. The protocol is meant to be lightweight enough that
non-technical people can run it on inexpensive devices they already own.
</p>
<p>
Let's make real distributed computing and shared data happen, starting with our own small networks.
</p>
<p>
... and exemplify the fun along the way.

This app encourages people to offer small bits of time to one another. It's a way to
run experiments with other people... tests of working together, which can start small
and easy but build into cooperation with people who are like-minded and who work well together.
</p>
<p>
Search the projects and place an offer on an interesting one
-- or create your own project and see who offers to help.
After your first experiment, you can give and get confirmation about the work, which you might choose
to show to future contacts.

<p>
These are mostly at the beginning stages, so any of them will appreciate your offers that show interest.
In fact, your offers can include your preferences, which give the project owners indications of how to proceed.
</p>
<p>
Search through the projects for issues of interest, locally as well as globally.
If you don't see any projects that interest you, create your own and see what kind of offers you get.

<div v-if="showVerifiable">
<p>
Make your claims and get others to confirm them. Then you can use the API to pull your copy of all that
data, both claims from you and claims from others about you. These are hard-and-fast credentials that can
be shown to others, along with their verifiable time and signature.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, you can use your network to verify claims by other people, even if they haven't given you
visibility. First, on the claim screen you can see if the server detects anyone who is a direct link
between you, so you can reach out to those in-between people for more info. If there isn't anyone
who is directly in between then you can reach out with a message to your network.
</p>
<p>
This app generated an identifier, based on public & private keys located on your device.
That ID is only shared with our server and with people you explicitly allow.
The other information -- like gratitude and contributions and projects --
are published to a server that protects your ID. (Someday, your devices
will share directly P2P and not need a server... you can choose your levels
of discovery and privacy.) What this means is that you are in charge of your
network, and we provide tools and reporting to help you connect with your network for
references and reputation.

This requires motivated, dedicated citizens. The good thing is that dedication the primary ingredient;
add coordination and we can find ways to replace monopolistic systems.
</p>
<p>
Add projects for your main areas of interest, and offer commitments to projects to kick-start some initiatives.
</p>
<p>
One other feature worth emphasizing: you build a history of credentials, ones that are verifiably
yours. But one other good thing is that you get support from those who confirm your activity.
You can share this support in a way that others can validate the data for themselves from people
in their own network. This kind of reputable project and history of performance is good evidence
for your ability to take responsibility for important initiatives.
