When you decentralise something, you tend to take away moderation and curation, which keep the general quality of offerings above a certain bar. I'd be curious what the author of this project suggests in this regard, or what measures he has put in place to mitigate the degradation of quality that can come from not having any kind of moderation or curation.
This is what I find interesting in bitcoin :)<p>It seems to me that instead of having to manually sync files or setup a server, Lighthouse itself could include a small BitTorrent library, and then you could just share a magnet link (with its own protocol handler, of course, e.g. "lighthouse:") and have the software fetch the contract and pledge files from other peers.<p>In fact, using the protocols which are behind Tribler[1], you could even browse and search for projects in a decentralized way, and probably even allow the project creator to automatically fetch the pledge files.<p>Fun stuff!<p>[1] <a href="http://www.tribler.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tribler.org/</a>
