Federated networks/decentralized hosting seems to be the future for anonymous storage and communication. I'm curious to see what will be the first real world implementation.
The black market drug industry always seems to create pioneers of new forms of subversive technology (see narco-subs).
I should also give a shout out to Tahoe-LAFS, which the Cryptosphere is inspired by. They've also discussed supporting distributed webapps and adding a JavaScript API:
> I'm curious to see what will be the first real world implementation
Cryptosphere, Tahoe-LAFS, and similar systems have all sorts of potential use cases. I'd love to see distributed Facebooks, distributed Wikipedias, and even a distributed DNS registry.
One of the reasons I'm using Git as the "object manager" in Cryptosphere is to better facilitate things like forking, so if there's a distributed web site you like, and you don't like the way it's being managed, you could fork your own copy and try to get people to use that instead (licenses permitting, of course!)
Off topic, but I'm curious what you mean by this. The only thing I can imagine you mean is to have Wikipedia's databases sharded everywhere and... that doesn't really make sense to me.
