Imho the operating systems we use aren't adequate.
   No single user is 100% accountable for what he/she does on the network.
   I'm not an expert in this field at all, but I thought about this quite
   a lot figuring things out.
   Here it goes:
   Suppose you implement a blockchain for identities as early in the boot
   process as possible, then you find the public key of every user in the
   blockchain and can communicate with every user while that user knows
   you are connected to him/her.
   Now you have a blockchain and can connect to virtually anyone.
   But the operating system is still vulnerable to hijacking and you
   should verify correctness somehow. Suppose, I'm really not sure if this
   effectively works, you implement a hashing function as early as
   possible in the compiler, then you can hash the code of the compiler
   and verify if the compiler's code changed. Then up to the operating
   system which you compile with that compiler and hash the code in its
   development stages. Now you're able to connect other users in the
   network and compare hashes of comparable computer systems. Maybe there
   are better alternatives. What happens in memory is a black box to me,
   somehow I like to hash and compare that too, and I understand that our
   computers become quite a lot slower.
   Privacy issues do arise with this system, but it's nothing more than in
   real life where you meet someone and say 'Hi, I'm ...', politeness,
   naivety, in this world now where the internet is totally different, not
   moral indeed.
   And also, the internet is free, with such a system an internet with
   different speeds might be more easily made as every user is known
   within a certain time span.
   I'm currently working on a blockchain of identities
   ([1]https://github.com/nvrrdt/onzecurrency) and I'd like to continue
   developing this, so I hope the concept has a chance to succeed in its
   endeavor.

     Cypherpunks, Anarchists, and Security Professionals can agree on
     something. Something we have agreed on for a long time, but fought
     viciously over.
     We need uses of computer networks to be moral.
     Our communities have been attacked for quite some time now.
