Can someone explain this system? I see the word decentralized thrown around, but the Kickstarter seems based around them building a server and hosting this. What is decentralized about them controlling the user ids? Basically: What am I missing here?



Yeah, I'm not sure I get it either. They call it a "syndication network" which, for me, gives the impression of a distributed network that is strictly controlled, which defeats the purpose. I hope this is just poor wording.
