I'm not a blogger. I'm a drafter.

Make El*n M*sk even more irrelevant through innovation: Sharenet.

Let's make a network of community kitchens so you don't have to. #Sharenet

#Sharenet needs your help. We are developing a new coordination layer for an economy without money or trade, in public. There are so many ways to help us. Will you help? #GiftEconomy

We're building the technological operating system for an alternative economy that isn't based on money or trade. Always open source and completely non-commercial.

#Sharenet #GiftEconomy

sharenet.sh

We've been working on a decentralized open-source non-commercial system/protocol that would be more tailored for gift economies, called #Sharenet. We're totally against Buy Nothing's approach and want to allow anyone to build sharing Hubs anywhere, and even build more complex economies out of them.

Check out sharenet.sh for more information! You can find our code repository there too. There's even a live demo (which is admittedly a work in progress).

Stop pointless suffering. Prevent needless suffering. Build love. #Sharenet

Sharenet's backend is 100% Rust.

#Sharenet #Rust

Working on updating the Passport API so there is a Base User Profile that always exists even before the user joins a Hub, and then there are Hub User Profiles that are added as the user joins Hubs.

#Sharenet
#GiftEconomy
#ResourceBasedEconomy

Please check out our conceptual design to allow #Sharenet Hubs to be recoverable in case of compromise by hackers (or the server being shut down): git.sharenet.sh/devteam/Shar...

The protocol does not make trust automatic-- the bias is in favor of people being in control of which Hubs to trust.

We need a decentralized protocol to help people find the things they need.

We need it to belong to the people.

We need #Sharenet.

#Sharenet allows you to share what you have with whoever needs it. There are three modes of sharing of things:

1. Simple - give to someone and now they own it
2. Custodian - give to someone and they are the new public custodian of the thing
3. Library - things are borrowed from a central location

#Sharenet allows you to share what you have with whoever needs it, and what you can do with whoever needs your help.

You can decide whether to make it a one-off or a community resource.

#GiftEconomy
#BuildingTheFuture

#Sharenet uses self-sovereign identities called Passports. You can easily create a Passport offline or through the website, and you can save it off for safekeeping. You can easily migrate your Passport among & across local sharing groups called Hubs. It's community-based, but you are free to move.
