What Is The Current Problem?
The world is full of unknown people
● Anyone can say anything on the Internet● What information can you trust?● Who can you trust?● How can others trust you?
Sending messages is free
● Spam becomes a problem● Valuable content is a needle in the haystack
Contact details and accounts change all the time

What Is Identifi?
Identifi is an address book application that stores its data in a distributed network on the computers of its users. The stored information is not owned or centrally administered by anyone.
In addition to keeping your contact details such as phone number or bitcoin address up-to-date, you can give other users trust ratings and feedback. You can filter all shown information by your web of trust, for example by displaying only the information added by your friends and the people they trust.
Identifi is free and open source software (MIT license).

How Will Identifi Change The World?
● People can identify and trust anyone they meet face-to-face or online○ “Global village society” where everyone knows each other
● When anyone can see what trusted people say about you, you will want to be the good guy○ Incentive for public servants, who otherwise might not have
incentives○ You can always apologize and compensate for mistakes○ Non-violent justice
● Reduces the risk, and subsequently the cost, of trade and credit● Online identity shifts from corporate information silos to an open
network
