A group of 5 started this project just over two months ago and we are just about to publish our project for feedback. We are looking to change the way we share and manage our public keys by introducing a system that facilitates the products you choose to use. Some may select an alt coin over Bitcoin or BitMessage over email but in doing so, you shouldn't be required to throw usability out the door. The scene has seen enough fragmentation and it is time to be a community.
Vanikey is your unique name that is bound to all of your public keys. Users can utilize multiple crypto currencies, encryption tools, and services. Our system will expose all information through a geo replicated CDN for high availability. We will also protect and distribute the content through Namecoin which will allow developers to integrate directly through NMC.
The architecture, service definition, and web design are close to complete and we are not far from having a working beta. Our next posting will contain design details, mockups, project schedule, and an introduction to our group. Exciting times ahead!
Thank you,
Team Vanikey
