what is duniter ?
it is a network of resilient communities based on trusted human certifications.
any member of a community is cocreator of the universal dividend without doing anything, just for being a human of a community.
this is where money comes from: every member regularly receives a universal dividend ( i.e. monetary basic income) coming from new money directly issued by members and to members.
any member needs certifications / signatures from other members to join in or simply stay in the community.
every member is strongly identified through a web of trust mechanism to avoid one individual to receive multiple universal dividend through multiple identities. this implies a regular and renewed recognition of each member’s identity so we are confident each individual is real and alive.
data is fully distributed through the distributed peertopeer network and to avoid any central power highly subject to corruption or single point of failure issues.
data is fully managed by the peertopeer network so a community does not fall under few hands control and can stay free.
it is based on javascript , node.js and the database lokijs to store the json documents cryptochained list.
