Neat! I agree, and although it may not be clear what all of this means to everyone, this is the beginning of how "blockchain" (I use the word loosely) is going to prove its value. At Mainframe, we're working on something similar, called "Noted", and we offer some of the same guarantees but take it one step further: we rely on no centralized infrastructure at all, not even DNS. Congrats on getting this released!

Thanks. I wonder how are you doing that? Is there any way I can learn more?
Sure! Check out https://github.com/MainframeHQ/js-mainframe. This is a browser-like desktop app that has ambitions to embed portions of itself at the OS layer some day (we call it "mainframeOS" right now, with that ambition in mind).

We'll be making our first public release at the beginning of February. It will combine decentralized file storage, messaging, identity, and contacts in an easy-to-use API for dapps that operate from within its framework.

I'd be very interested to hear your feedback. I'm @canadaduane on twitter and @duane@refactorcamp.org on mastodon.
