[IDEA] 類去中心化、加密式、微形資料傳輸網狀網絡 Mesh-network-based, encrypted, partial-decentralized network for lightweight data transfer

[DragonLung]

In recent technology trend, decentralized networks which have heavy emphasis on identity protection and anonymity are much welcomed. However, the majority of those networks focuses on cryptocurrency and have only a few, if not none, successful applications on our day-to-day work. Aside for cryptocurrency, data transfer network could gain additional security in applying decentralized network. There are several issues hindering these usage:

1. Entrance barrier is high for -
   a. - service users
   b. - service provider
2. Non-recovery -
   a. - of data
   b. - of network

If we can take the idea of decentralized network and compromise on few unnecessary security features, it could have gain larger practical usage. Solutions can be a semi-decentralized system utilizing mesh network structure, with the following features:

1. Recovery of data
2. Fast replication of network if exposed
3. Quick setup for system admins
4. Easy approach to both users and admins
5. Network verification only by consensus of admins (as compared to consensus of whole network in blockchain)

在現今科技潮流中，強調保障身份和匿名的去中心化系統，日益受重視私隱的用戶歡迎。然而，去中心化系統的實際應用仍然集中在加密貨幣，並未有太多在日常營運中的成功應用個案。當中有兩項比較突出的缺點，阻礙去中心化網絡的應用：

1. 對用家和服務提供者而言，去中心化的門檻技術門檻太高
2. 資料和網絡不能被復原

如果我們能以去中心化的理念，去除不必要的額外安全特性來架構網絡，我們將能推廣去中心化網絡的應用。

Can Zeronet + Tor fit into this case?
