If the web is to be decentralized in the same way that the internet is decentralized, it will be much better if it's never "designed" at all. If your app wants to talk to my host, cool. If it doesn't, that's cool too.

But you still need a protocol for the app and the host to talk to each other - and that needs designing.

And you need a way for the app to find the host; that needs to be designed too.

Namecoin & TOR?

So you agree in a thread which started from "one Harvard/MIT person doesn't get to design it" by listing two technologies:

- one coming from bitcoin which was supposedly mostly designed by one anonymous person

- one designed in US government sponsored project for use by intelligence agencies and later improved by DARPA

What's the point you're trying to make?

[bbcbasic]

That you can pick a couple of technologies such as these and use them now, but in the spirit of "If your app wants to talk to my host, cool. If it doesn't, that's cool too."
