So... directly connect to the other host, whilst apparently not revealing the relationship between the two of you?

Posts like this (from the link at the bottom of the page) are also not promising:

People keep telling me that research I'm doing with some friends overlaps with what these people are proposing, so I've spent a little time trying to figure out what they do and how they do it from their website. I haven't yet played with their client or anything like that.

I really can't see any substance here. The name is also sort of darkly humorous: they've clearly poured a lot of effort into (at least marketing) what they're doing, but have yet to realize that they're just tilting at windmills.

Looks like a very promising concept, at least from a technical perspective. I don't rate its chances of success all that highly, since it needs a lot of buy-in before it gets enough network effects, but it's nice to see someone genuinely trying to find workable solutions to what we can no longer deny are serious privacy and security problems with the current setup.

Something I'm not clear on is the licencing of the code. Is it open-source? For trust reasons I'd want to be able to read it.

They seem to have left the development domain in there. Oops.
