So I started to dig deeper on this subject and I discovered that it exist two kind of school:
- The first one is the classical systems of governance. I call it
DAG (Distributed Autonomous Government). The objectif of DAGs is to mimic our current system without intermediaries and with more efficiently through different kind of Apps such as Decentralized Currency, Smart Contracts, Electronic Voting and so on.
- The second is about to build the society from scratch with those new technology. I call it
Distributed Autonomous Society.
DAS's foundation come from Decentralized Communication in order to talk, write, intercommunicate (confidentially through encryption). Decentralized Collaboration to share ideas, works, patents, designs, datas and such... Decentralized Creation to manifest goods and services. Decentralized Exchange to barter goods, services, and resources and Decentralized Arbitration to resolve conflicts. If you want to go further you can
read this one.
So the first thing when questioning our systems is which school are you in?
I think it's interesting to brainstorm big when talking about DAG/DAS. But if I would do it, my strategy would be: go small and lean as developing a website or an app. Thinking about Google. They started with search, then they moved to the mail service, the cloud, OS and now they manufacture their own device, car and healthcare. There is so much "Plugins" that need to be develop (we know we have the choice for backends/protocols) such as Electronic voting without rigged vote and taking care about UX/UI. That's gonna be thug we have no idea. And there's several "Plugins" to develop:
- Smart Contract for notarization
- Proof of existence
- Crypto Passport for digital identity
- Securities
- Loyalty points
- Prediction markets
- Crowdfunding
- Agents for distributed autonomous transportation
- Pay as you go services with pre-paid minutes
- Energy credits
- Wallet for cryptocurrencies
- Votes
- Messaging/Instant tchat
I would start building a very lightweight browser as an open-source project. Browsing Internet through HTTP(S) and IPFS (
watch demo) would be the main feature. Surfing the web without any censorship and offline (thanks to P2P). We would be able to access any musics, movies, books for free (when the Wallet App plugin available thinking about a pay system for artist a la
Darkleaks would be interesting/Crowdfunding). Then I would start to implant the first "plugin" (obviously the chat system, then will come the wallet). If enthusiasms start to join, the project might become more than a mere browser instead I would make it an Operating system (thinking about Chromium/Chromium OS).
Unfortunately I'm not a stiff developper as I only do design (my skills goes a little bit beyond) so I can't start this project alone (best would be to join an existing group). Also publishing a whitepaper as PoC to write black on white ideas would be definitely neat.
Made a concept for browsing the content hashed in the Bitcoin blockchain a while ago.
