Scuttlebot: Peer-to-peer database, identity provider, and messaging system
Scuttlebot forms a global cryptographic social network with its peers. Each user
is identified by a public key, and publishes a log of signed messages, which
other users follow socially.
Scuttlebot searches the P2P mesh for new messages and files from followed  users
and from FoaFs  (friend of a friend's). The messages and files are stored
locally, indefinitely, for applications to read.
IdentityUsers are identified by confirmations and signals in the social graph.
This is known as a Web-of-Trust. There is no global registry of usernames.
Instead, users name themselves, and share petnames  for each other.
Discovery occurs by examining the social graph, or by out-of-band sharing.
Applications can analyze the follow-graph, and look for "flag" messages, to
determine who is trustworthy in the network.
Pub Servers"Pubs" are bot-users that have public IPs. They follow users and
rehost the messages to other peers, ensuring good uptime and no firewall
blockage.
Pubs have no special privileges, and are not trusted by users. However, because
Scuttlebot has no DHT or NAT-traversal utilities, users must "join" a Pub to
distribute their messages on the WAN.
Scuttlebot can change Pubs, or join more than one, and sync directly over Wifi.
Identity is not tied to the Pubs.
Secure Scuttlebutt - Scuttlebot Each user is identified by a public key, and
publishes a log of signed messages, which other users follow socially.
