Title: Trsst: a secure and distributed blog platform for the open web
Post by: kseistrup on August 17, 2013, 05:58:23 AM
It seems that the Kickstarter project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1904431672/trsst-a-distributed-secure-blog-platform-for-the-o) Trsst (http://www.trsst.com/) will be using bitcoin addresses as its keypairs.  From the paper (http://www.trsst.com/paper/):

Quote
A keypair in terms of public-key cryptography is the pair of a private key and its corresponding public key. Each user's account corresponds to a keypair, and the public key is the account's unique identifier. The keypair is generated as a valid payment address in a crypto-currency system such as Bitcoin. The account's private key is held by a user in secret and kept in a keystore.

I'm looking forward to see if this idea takes off and, if so, what relation it will have to bitcoin.

Trsst most likely will come over to Bitcoin. I know BitcoinStarter.com is in talks with them.

We've been in touch with via Twitter. They were checking to see if they can have a project both on KS and BS at the same time.
