Social networking
Contrary to the approaches of existing social networking software, where either one company controls the data of all users, or each user controls her/his own data, cosmopool takes a (mostly local) community of users as the basic building block of a trust network. Aiming at a non-hierarchical structuring of society (in particular regarding moneyless economic activity) we see communities as a source of reliability, which failing individuals could not afford.
The local communities provide a certain degree of anonymity to their members. They are operating network nodes over which they have physical control and hold the personalized data of their members.
