The Hitchhiker's Guide
to Trust

A Galaxy of Local-First Verifiable Trust Communities, Agents, Guides and Guidance Built with Trust Tasks

✦ Ceremony● Trust begins
Ceremony: the star scroll, live · Trust begins: record your part and add it to the star

How a community's trust graph forms around guides and guidance, and why it should be kept locally. Read it, play with it, and add your own at the end, while the gate is open.

IIW 43 · the deeper path

The IIW workshop

The full presentation, in five acts: why, the movement, the technology (OpenVTC and VTI, how information flows, the Pi), trust by doing, and over to you. For the curious and the technical.

Five minutes · stories only

The lightning talk

The fast way through: the request, the towel, Field Guide, embassies, and tonight's page of the guide. Teleport into the IIW workshop from any scene.

To read at your own pace

The whole guide

Every scene, each part's story first and its deeper scenes after it.

Live · the public face of the guide

The evidence chain

Every thumbs up, proverb and guide becomes a star. Its hash is public; what's behind it is sealed with your key. Load in, see yourself, start contributing.
