What is Duniter?
What is Duniter? It's a resilient community network based on trusted human certification. Any member of the community is a co-creator of a universal dividend, without having to do anything, just by being a person in the community. This is where money comes from: each member periodically receives a universal dividend (i.e., a basic monetary income) that originates from new money issued directly by members to members. Any member requires certification/signatures from other members to join or simply remain in the community. Each member is strictly identified through a web of trust mechanism to prevent one person from obtaining multiple universal dividends through multiple identities. This means periodically re-identifying each member's identity, ensuring everyone is real. Data is fully distributed via a decentralized peer-to-peer network, avoiding any central authority highly susceptible to corruption or single points of failure. Data is entirely managed by the peer-to-peer network, so the community isn't controlled by a few and can remain free. It's based on JavaScript, Node.js, and the LokiJS database to store JSON document encrypted linked lists. Block = JSON documents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust To learn more: Code source: https://github.com/Duniter/Duniter Project website: http://Duniter.org French community: http://Duniter.fr
