I'm just thinking conceptually, architecturally and technically, to wrap my head around how WebDHT could look like and work in practice. I think Keybase provides a great implementation of cryptographically signed and verified identity on the web today. It is young, yes, but solid. In my humble opinion, of course. I'm as far from being a cryptographer as a shoe salesman. > from what I see the same (or at least very similar) technology e.g. for > signing is used in both credentials and webDHT Great. That makes it easier to understand. > I think combining this technology with a keybase like identity system and > payments is a good idea That's my thought too. I'll try to poke them about the work on WebDHT so they can contribute with their experience in this field. I think that would be very valuable. > *disclaimer* im working on an early stage open source system to do > exactly that :) Cool! Have you looked at the open source stuff Keybase have published? https://github.com/keybase -- Asbjørn Ulsberg -=|=- asbjorn@ulsberg.no «He's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away»
