@NickSzabo4 Disintermediation w/ possibility of micro-intermediation on-top best option? Humans will always use TTPs, e.g., f/ arbitration.

@NickSzabo4 Better example could be: neighbor who tells you about good experience with certain car dealer, after which you visit the dealer.

@NickSzabo4 Since human trust is subjective, maybe the best option for electronic trust is to organize it, instead of (try and) automate it.

@NickSzabo4 Decentralized identity & reputation databases, such as Identifi, seem like the ideal solution to me. But yes, I'm obvsly biased.

@NickSzabo4 Conclusion: Missing layer of Internet = Trust. We need privacy/security-by-design protocol-like solution for this, imho.

@timpastoor @NickSzabo4 I'd love a distributed oauth style system that you can run something like http://tinyurl.com/umawg  on as a perm-layer.

@ultimape @NickSzabo4 A well-credentialed security company is currently implement perm-layer for/in Identifi. Enables UMA-like features.

@ultimape @NickSzabo4 The current proof-of-concept is built for 1 public network, and nodes act as supernodes which flood all messages.
