Does it require digital User IDs

In general, Web3 is not synonymous with the digital IDs being pushed by many governments but its fair to say there could be crossover as not every use case for blockchain/web3 is as decentralized or "democratic" as it is often presented to be. For the most part privacy, transparency and accountability are overarching themes though

Lots of Web3 tech uses centralized systems to bootstrap and "later" (read: never) they implement the distributed version.

Is there any Web3 tech that is actually good and done?

I am not even sure what the point is of Web3 tech (I am not saying this as if I don't understand the technology, because I do), if the general public probably doesn't even know what web 2.0 was about.

Qortal is what you're looking for, though many elements remain an ongoing work in progress it is already up and running.

For me, I'm waiting for when it can run totally independent from the current internet. I have no problem with it being on the net, but it needs to be able to run without it. This CAN be done, via wireless protocols where literally your current WiFi router can be part of the net. You never see the encrypted data passing through your PC but you become a 'node'.

An entire internet of such nodes, including more powerful transceivers in remoter areas, is perfectly feasible. The developers are very open to the idea but didn't see it as the same urgent need as I did, so I lost interest in the project.

What we need is a system where the normal ISP or domain name servers cannot shut you down, where all you need is a modem, electricity and a computer/smartphone. Qortal can do that, but they're too busy fucking around polishing the stuff they've done, instead of getting on with the urgent (in my opinion) need to offer an alternative to the gov and corporate-controlled net we're using right now.

Yeah yeah error, I'll refresh before sending, fuckysite
