PFS and Friends: A Qualitative Comparison of Next Generation Peer-to-Peer Data Networks by Erik Daniel and Florian Tschorsch
> Abstract—Decentralized, distributed storage offers a way to
reduce the impact of data silos as often fostered by centralized
cloud storage. While the intentions of this trend are not new, the
topic gained traction due to technological advancements, most
notably blockchain networks. As a consequence, we observe that
a new generation of peer-to-peer data networks emerges. In this
survey paper, we therefore provide a technical overview of the
next generation data networks. We use select data networks to
introduce general concepts and to emphasize new developments.
Specifically, we provide a deeper outline of the Interplanetary File
System and a general overview of Swarm, the Hypercore Pro-
tocol, SAFE, Storj, and Arweave. We identify common building
blocks and provide a qualitative comparison. From the overview,
we derive future challenges and research goals concerning data
networks.
A couple of years ago the SOLID project was pre-launched - but it hasn't really yet taken off the ground yet. Wondering what is holding it back to becoming a great base for SSI that is not blockchain based.

Blockchain Lab: Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Development
The GIZ Blockchain Lab focuses on examining a subset of the most promising blockchain applications, which outline clear added value in terms of societal benefit as expressed by the SDGs. For example: blockchain, decentralization, syndicated
Land Registration (1/3) : Overview of the current situation
Currently 70% of the world’s population has no access to conventional land registration/tenure systems. Worldwide, less than 32 countries give access to their citizens to a functioning, nationwide, centralized land administration that encompass local registration systems. blockchain, decentralization, syndicated
Universal Basic Income for Bali Research Report
This research report, supported by Polis, presents findings from a survey of Indonesians living in Bali for a UBI experiment based on Circles. Circles is a project that puts basic income on the blockchain. circles ubi, decentralization, syndicated, ubi
A Beginner’s Guide to IPFS
In my previous post, we discussed the future of the sharing economy and the exciting innovations that could be central to shaping it. One of the key technologies mentioned was the Interplanetary File System (IPFS). blockchain, ipfs, syndicated, tech
The quiet revolution: the internet of data structures with IPFS
The internet of data structures (IoDS) is emerging as one of the most significant advancements in data within the last decade. HTTP (the hypertext transfer protocol) is the foundation communication the World Wide Web. blockchain, internet, ipfs, syndicated
The Decentralized Power of Ethereum and IPFS
Devcon 4 has me wanting to write about Ethereum. More specifically, how combining Ethereum with the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) creates a simple, yet powerful, system of immutable content. blockchain, ethereum, ipfs, syndicated
The Emergence of Circles UBI: Learnings and Lessons
On the 16th of October, something very peculiar happened. That evening a small team of artists, hackers and activists from all over the world gave birth to Circles, a Universal Basic Income (UBI) system on the blockchain: based on trust, powered by communities. blockchain, circles ubi, cryptocurrency, syndicated

Sarah Friend, Saraswathi Subbaraman (Circles): CirclesUBI: Towards a Community-owned Basic Income
Is it possible to create a community owned currency that can exist both globally and locally without relying on the sovereignty of nation-states? And if it were, how would you build it? Circles is a cooperative project working at the intersection of cryptocurrency and UBI, trying to rethink money as a commons and as means to commoning. We are developing a p2p universal basic income using the Ethereum blockchain, and bootstrapping it with a Cafe that accepts our currency – currently gearing up for a research pilot in Berlin in 2019. We hope to shed light on the overall possibilities of alternative currencies, as well as the limitations of working within the blockchain space, given its political economy.

Decided to join the Circles UBI - a way to build a local economy together
My username is @johanbove and my wallet is 0x3EBB01bC89bee94Ea8dB8D0adFFA03968C72Af58
The Circles Money System was designed to get started creating a UBI economy today. We believe that the combination of resilience and global accessibility afforded by blockchain technology is a key catalyst that makes a Universal Basic Income achievable within the next generation.
"What Makes Decentralisation Hard? And How Do We Overcome This?" - Martin Krafft (LCA 2020)
> Peer-to-peer technology has been around for decades, and has significantly shaped the file-sharing industry, much to the dismay of the media conglomerates. It wasn't until recent years, however, that the underlying concepts have entered other domains, such as communication tools, and storage. And of course: blockchain. And yet, despite the availability of technically sound and fully functional projects, widespread adoption is nowhere near.
