My solution to this problem is closer-ish to being done than it's ever been before. It's the FreedomBuddy project. It requires that end users (Alice and Bob): 1. Meet in person to verify and trust one another's PGP keys. 2. Alice sends Bob one message that contains the services she'll host for Bob and locations where Bob can contact her through any supported medium. 3. When Bob needs Alice's services, he'll (1) start using them or (2) send Alice a reply letting her know where he's hosting any services for her. That reply will include the locations Alice should reach out to find Bob. Why is this useful? Alice and Bob may choose to use (pseudo-)anonymous transports to communicate, like Tor, GNUnet, etc. They'll be able to establish communication paths for any system using any or all of those transports at once. Finishing the outstanding functional problems (small amounts of delicate work) are what remains at this point. The UI will be terrible, for now. Later, once the functional work is complete, it'll get pulled into Plinth, and will have a less terrible UI. Nick
