I have been working on Validbook - a universal platform for cooperation, built on the idea of Self-Sovereign Identity.
Validbook definitions

- Validbook alpha version - http://futurama1x.validbook.org/ (As Validbook is built on Self-Sovereign Identity idea, you will need a cryptographic key for login. To login as a main test user - download and use the following key https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_ZDoXh4aBUQXR50PLRusZRF7XvEY3OQx/view Password to keystore file - “123456789”. After login go manually to the home page. Use Chrome browser. In production version the process of login will be seamless, as we will use browser extension to store key.)
Originally I have published Validbook idea on the mailing list of W3C Community Credentials Group that develops specifications for Self-Sovereign Identity. It didn’t trigger a discussion there, probably due to the narrow focus of the group on the specifications itself. As I have become aware of this forum, I am publishing the description of Validbook idea and “A Proposal to Cooperate” here. As this community is interested in practical implementations of humane services, I hope my post will start an interesting discussion and maybe even start cooperation on Validbook development and maintenance.
