Morphis: Encrypted distributed datastore

The end goal of my life's work of which MORPHiS is only the beginning is The World Brain. That is, humanity linked together as a unified conciousness. No matrix style needed; a keyboard is enough. An uncensorable high performance internet with an inherent web of trust acting as the synapses and our brains acting as the individual super neurons of that then neural net.

Read H.G. Well's essay by that name: https://sherlock.ischool.berkeley.edu/wells/world_brain.html

Wells is not talking about a centralized wikipedia. He is talking about a decentralized (even mentions Iceland as a safe harbour) and unified human conciousness.

Humanity can then determine its own destiny instead of having to use the stone-age system of paper ballots and inherenlty corrupt elected representatives who's representation has absolutely zero correlation with what the people they are claiming to represent actually want.

See the Princeton study that proved that: http://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fil...

For the World Brain to function, it needs a ultra high performance and non-kill-switch able distributed datastore to operate upon. Thus, MORPHiS is the foundational layer for that end. Of course such a layer also inherently is a better file sharing app than BitTorrent, a better communication platform than Email (See Dmail, already working great!), Etc., a better comment system than Disqus, a better Forum than HN. Expect the Disqus deprecating implementation out by the end of this month is my estimate.

When the Disqus/HN deprecating layer is out later this month hopefully, the community can move onto MORPHiS itself as well :)

Tied with security (Sybil proof and uncensorable) as the #1 goal of its design and architecture is that even a child can use it, fool-proof.

It is also here already and higher performance.

It is also not stopping at a datastore.

In order to be Python + High Performance I went with asyncio, which is amazing, blew me away in performance, very glad I went with it. However, that unfortunately means it needs 3.4.0 or greater.

Just download Python 3.4 and compile yourself. It is dead simple (./configure; make; make install). It then can be referred to as python3.4, pip3.4, Etc., not conflicting at all with your existing system.

Have you considered hosting this in a collaborative git platform such as GitHub? Are there any plans for an http "gateway" like ipfs has?

Thank you for that feedback. You make a good point. I will reorganize the instructions to be more up front instead of buried as you discovered :)

I went and made the windows install a one click affair, but neglected to realize the Linux one, while likely easy to install, does not launch the browser like the windows batch file does and thus unless you read the RUNNING file then you wouldn't even know it had the web UI! Which is the whole point of running it :)

I will do as you suggest and move that into the README, and as well document the fact of the web UI and its port on the website. Thank you so much!
