+#### Note
+Information is not so easily organized in a linear fashion. This document is a product of the effort to enter all of the best blockchain, self-sovereign, and decentralized identity links into a database, which will power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, manual navigation through the tags, and pages like this. With comments and reactions, so that it can become a co-operative effort among those who get involved.
+
+In the mean-time, after gathering all of the links I had already into [one collection](/blockchain-id.toml), I knew I could make an awesome document out of them sooner than a live demo of the app that is in progress.

A proof-of-individuality (POI) process based on peer-to-peer validation establishes that a self-sovereign identity is uniquely tied to a single person. The project introduces a number of interesting socio-technical concepts such as "Social Smart Contract", "Initial Rights Offering", and "Cryptographically Induced Equality". Cooperation is happening with other decentralized identity initiatives such as Blockstack and uPort.
