We are building networks of people who want to grow good society from the ground up, using modern
|
||||
technology that connects people peer-to-peer.
|
||||
First of all, let's showcase gratitude: see what people have given, and recognize
|
||||
gifts you've seen. This is done in a way that leaves a permanent record -- one that
|
||||
came from you, and one that the recipient can prove it was for them. This is
|
||||
came from you, and one that the recipient can prove it was for them. This can be
|

personally gratifying, but it extends to broader work: volunteers get
|
||||
confirmation of activity, and selectively show off their contributions

With this, you highlight giving and also offer help --
|
||||
which could be conditional on others' willingness to help, too.

With this, you highlight giving and you also offer help --

|

You can record your own ideas and invite others to collaborate.
|
||||
It's a way to organize & build with the resource that everyone has in equal amounts: time.

<p>
|
||||
This app uses the power of cryptography to build a reputation, recording
|
||||
activity that you can share at your discretion. You put some activity
|
||||
public, but these services don't share your ID with others without explicit consent.
|
||||
This is in contrast to Meta and Google, who hold
|
||||
your data and allow you use it while they manage sharing...
|
||||
those services are useful but they have the control, whereas this app gives you the control.
|
||||
<p class="mt-2">
|
||||
Note that your personal data is safe: your ID is only shared with those you allow. Neither
|
||||
your name nor your contacts' names are shared with anyone -- even our servers --
|
||||
though you can explicitly share it with other individuals if you choose.

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. There may be cases for
|
||||
MPC or ZKP in the future when they are more widespread and standard,
|
||||
but our preference is to engineer as simply as possible with "white-magic" cryptography
|
||||
over those "black-magic" functions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's make real distributed computing and shared data happen, starting with our own small networks.
|
||||

|
||||

||||

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.

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.

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.
