Network of peer independent Web servers (potentially the whole Web) (more convenient than usual desperate projects of extreme decentralization between millions of user terminals)
A list of peer servers with their public keys	Each server has a list of accounts of users who registered there
Thousands of peer servers	× Thousands of accounts in each server	× several pseudos per account
= a network of millions of users		Each pseudo can be used for authentication to any other site
Pseudos (public identities) look like email addresses, indicating the host of user account
Each host runs Standard functions (possibly modified), sufficient for the network to run Optionally, its own freely developed additional functions	Each user of the network has : 1 main account (login-pass) at 1 server = his home site "@home" (where he registered) Containing: User board, gathering signals for all pseudos (panel of personalized information) Identifying links to external sites (each under a chosen pseudo) (Or, if needed in case of breakdown, duplicated account between independent hosts - possibility to move account between hosts and have pseudos at different hosts)

 

Purposes
The same system combines the advantages of

• Centralization
  Functions work fluently between users from different sites
  that can easily find each for other across the network
  and interact in some common site at each specific time
  All working is web-based, accessible by ordinary browsers
  No identity barrier between services
  1 login is enough
  
  
• Decentralization
  Nobody owns the world
  No need to be a millionaire to create this solution
  (or any independent additional global service)
  Just make 1 site for the first ~1000 users
  Release a software installable at other sites to extend the network
  Privacy and anonymity are available
  
  Users can benefit
  the decentralized diversity of services
  created by anyone in independent sites
  Each feeling as convenient as a world-wide central service
  All accessed (signals and links) from the same account
  (the user's central panel at his home server)
  
  

2. Forums replacing email

Online conversations
Interactions of any kind
Each host is free to offer its own format
Possible certification

3. Trust system

Trust declarations
between users

Computation of indirect trust
across independent servers
while keeping privacy
(with minimum necessary shared data)

Complaints
allow for corrections of trust data
through online debates

...and more

Online dating resolved
An efficient decentralized solution

Job market
(same problem structure, same solution)

Decentralized political order
based on a trust network
An anonymous and verified online voting system

The best online currency
with stable and profitable value
based on credit between users
