[DarkLinkXXXX <darklinkxxxx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Blueprint changed by DarkLinkXXXX:

Whiteboard changed:
- I'll start.
- 
- PGP plus is to be a distributed peer-to-peer social and file-sharing network with data-reduplication.
- Upon registering, the user will have his own his server (whether it be on his own computer or on a hosting site). All data he shares will be signed with his public pgp key. All data shared privately will be encrypted to the public pgp keys of the intended recipients.
- 
- Data may be distributed in two different modes. The first would be open
- access mode, in which anyone can access your public information so long
- as they can access your server. The other mode, let's call it black box
- mode, offers a more f2f approach in which only your friends can view
- your public information, and anyone else will only be able to access
- your public information through them.
- 
- A federation of servers is ideal (imho), but one major drawback with
- this communication model is that when a server goes online, it takes
- it's data with it. So, to overcome this drawback, a caching system shall
- be implemented. Each server in a network shall also host the data from
- three other servers, and each server shall push it's data to these three
- other servers every day, or a period set by the user.
- 
- Criticism encouraged.
