Anyone interested in the idea of setting up a social network for bitcoin users, we would be basing the system on Diaspora, integrating OTC-WOT GPG, with a focus on allowing it to be bitcoin users identities online, such that they can have pseudonyms but at the same time not be faceless/anonymous.

Main concern also being to protect users privacy and prevent scammers on working their way back into the social fabric.

Another goal would be to have it running on a namecoid domain and be available via Tor.

Very interested but, unfortunately, I'm not a coder.

Anything else I can help with?

Still around.

Actually the code is already there, I think I have a spare server that I can set this up on.

I was just wondering what level of interest there would be for this.

I also thought about that (I have experience setting up a small social network using livestreet), however as for me, I don't have time for such project.

I'll set one up using StatusNet and see if people enjoy it. Should be easy to add Bitcoin extensions. I'd be glad to join/help with Nefario's Diaspora-based one too. Not trying to steal your thunder, Nefario. Smiley Yeah I think it's a really good idea.

Hey I have enough to do already as it is, if you want to run with this then please do. It's just something that I think is desperately needed by the community to be allow it to defend itself against scammers.

If it makes the OTC-WOT easier to use for those of us who do not regularly use IRC then I'm all for it.

I think we could do something along the lines of OTC, but that would be a phase 2. We'd need to build some additional functionality.

Right now I'm trying to come up with a good domain name for it Smiley

Anon Plus is already in testing phase......FYI.
http://anonplus.bombshellz.net/files/Dev%20update%208-4-2011.pdf

About time something innovative got released to bitcoin instead of another concept with less than 5 minutes of thinking done on it.

This sounds like a great idea.
I do a fair bit of web coding so I'm up for helping in any way I can.

Yes, I think it will....it supposedly will support itself in the beginning by being a botnet for bitcoins, which depending on the acceptance level of the network, could be a big bitcoin seller...worldwide I think it will be on 1 million personal computers easy. The big IF being if it can be done and is not vaporware.

Yeah I've already been onto the anon+ guys, they're not doing a web based system, they're prefering to re-invent the wheel with a distributed one that requires an installation (why use this when retroshare is available).

Simple because it will require users to install something it's not going to get much of a critical mass IMO.

I would think any kind of system that was going to be useful, get critical mass to get a network effect would have to be no install and web based.
