Main goal of iam was to build a self-sustained network with no central entity where everyone has "one and only one account" and each account has a rank score.
Research and development on iam started on the summer of 2018 and on July 2019 initial network tests over 40 AWS machines where sucessful and the project sucesseded in getting its first term sheet to start. But at the time I decided to spend time on BlueBit which we were developing in Miras Technologies. Then the codebase IP transfered but the main ideas remained open.
I created this reposiroty to share the deck as a proposal and the reason I didn't publish it on Scribd or Google Slides is to have a place where the ideas can start to form a new codebase.
Decentralized mesh network of servers owned by people. Each server provides these services keeping the decentralized nature of the network:
- User verification
- Store the user ranking updates
- Content sharing
- P2P Chat
People join this network using their voice. They'll have a unique account and they can also trust that everybody else on the network owns "just one account" and no one is a bot. Features:
- Put comment on every URL through a chrome extension
- Using iam to login to other services
- Encrypted chat

- Al companies are trying to win the Turing test, where Al is indistinguishable from human in conversation. When that happens, having a network of real humans will be handy!
- iam Network requires a unique type of search engine:
- P2P nodes that asking each-other instead of a centralized Google.
- Current search engines are idiots! They just make a bubble out of links who are being gossiped more. There's no difference between people's opinions about a relation of topic to a link. But when you have ranking on users, the tags they've put on the links you can understand each URL better.
- Current contents on the internet are not ranked so communities like Wikipedia are rare. Lots of small ideas are being pushed to background (like smaller sub-cultures) because some prevailing ideas are being bold by dumb search engines (and dumb SEO) who don't assume a difference between people's opinion. Current internet rewards monotony and uniformity and punishes diversity and openness, so this is making internet boring!
- iam should have its own browser. it should be browser. can be forked from chromium but the main page will divide in two section to see the content alongside the comments
- China market is a big potential for am because iam provides better access to information and limitations from China government is an opportunity for user adoption.
- There maybe a possibility to create variable length hashes using speaker verification algorithm so that ASIC miners won't be able to mine huge amount of am Network rewards in bulk, they'll get slower in mining and the am Network will be more reliable. This approach can be also open-sourced to be used in other crypto networks.
De-organize the world's information and make it "really" accessible for every one1
