>>I’ve been dreaming lately of a tor-like network that’s based loosely on the idea of tailnets. Rather than blockchain bullshit, you’d have a direct ring of trust with friends, and then you could set up access policies to forward packets for people you don’t trust, but who know someone you do trust.

The network will coalesce around using a handful of hub nodes for the packet forwarding, and a malicious party need only to coopt that central cluster of nodes to unmask all web users.

The "blockchain bullshit" enables trusted decentralized interaction at scale.
