<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><br><br><div>> From: M.G.Lockwood@salford.ac.uk<br>> Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 10:04:25 +0000<br>> <br>> Thanks for the responses.<br>> I am of course as confused as ever.<br><br>I don't blame you.<br><br>> My poorly informed understanding was that Debian for Freedombox would aim to encapsulate the <br>> likes of TOR, Diaspora, Some sort of Encrypted Currently Exchange and so on, and aim to build a <br>> Decentralised Alternative. If not this could you give me a little more info ?<br><br>FBx is dead in the water if it's not part of a decentralised alternative. I see FBx as a cyber guardian standing vigilant at our gateway to the internet and protecting all devices and users behind against bad actors and unwanted data leaking, and providing decentralised services with a slick UI. <br><br><br>> Is anybody aware of any papers that might help me in terms of Freedombox and Decentralisation<br>> in general?<br><br>The only paper I've read is the Bitcoin White Paper by Satoshi Nakamoto, a work of genius. Also check out BitMessage, Ethereum, DarkMarket (now forked to be OpenBazaar). The buzz of decentralisation is around Blockchain technologies. Redecentralize is a good source for video interviews of decentralised projects. <br><br><br>> The whole Decentralisation of Personal Data Movement 'If indeed there is one?' and the<br>> Necessary Interface for Mass Participation is something that excites me.<br>> Is there anyone on this list with a similar interest I can discuss further with ???<br><br>I think it's more the 'decentralise everything' movement (or going to be, if you see here <a href="http://youtu.be/lFgnrd3G81U" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/lFgnrd3G81U</a> )<br><br>Feel free to message me.<br><br>regards<br>Matt Dodson<br><br><br><br></div> </div></body>
