> It surprised me that nothing like this seems to exist already in the decentralization community. There was a GSoC project in 2013 which did exactly this, using Freenet as decentralized storage backend with a Web of Trust for Spam resistant and updatable identities (note that in the gittorrent scheme once someone claimed a username, that username will stick there forever). It works and compared to GitTorrent it adds anonymity and upload-and-run. A current article describing it is here: http://draketo.de/english/freenet/real-life-infocalypse http://draketo.de/english/freenet/real-life-infocalypse (it got referenced here, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9562749 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9562749 ) The GSoC project was done by Steve Dougherty: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2013/sdough/5650716672655360 http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gs... > I’d be happy to work on a project like this and make GitTorrent sit on top of it, so please let me know if you’re interested in helping with that.
