Currently Freetalk is only pseudonymous, which is probably the main reason why
many people will feel strongly against using it (at least exclusively). While i
still believe that WoT was not the way to move forward, but we are currently
sort of stuck with that, so these are my thoughts on improving what we have.
Possibly way to send anonymous messages can be to make the poster solve several
puzzles (captchas currently) for *each* message posted. These messages would
then be inserted in such a way to be picked up by the owner of that particular
puzzle (for example into the key which is predictable, if the puzzle is solved
correctly). The owner of the puzzle would then post a 'link' to that message in
one's 'anonymous messages manifest' (AMM).
Users which trust some identity would also post that identity's AMM (under some
conditions, for example only if that identity also posts puzzles), but would
only download the actual anonymous message if some minimum references from AMMs
are seen. The minimum is done so that one identity will not spam via AMM while
claiming immunity that the messages didn't originate from one's own self.
While multiple identities may still belong to a single attacker (or a single
group of attackers), long established identities are not likely to risk being
marked down for spamming.
I am likely missing something trivial here, but hopefully the community will
find what i wrote interesting.
