<p>Write down the 12 or 24 words on a piece of paper. These words can recover your names and funds at any time. There is no other backup and no third party can restore it on your behalf without these words. You are interacting with a p2p network, and hence there is no recovery functionality built-in (as this would requiring updating all nodes on the p2p network):</p>

<h2>Summary</h2>

<p>Handshake is rooted in the culture of open source and the majority ownership of initial coins are claimable by open source developers with available scrapeable keys. The original intent was that the free and open source community has inufficient recognition in the long-term benefit in systems. When systems become more popular, the FOSS community does not receive the benefits. <b>If Hanshake becomes more popular with better toolig and applications, members of the FOSS community benefits</b>. It's believed that this aligned incentive creates benefit for all, with recogition via higher network valuation and utility in the future if this method works. Certain kinds of decentralized systems were not historically possible as some entities could overwhelm the network and claim all the resources (in this case, register all names). Handshake is an experiment in distributing majority ownership to the open source community of this network as a method to bootstrap a decentralized network with limited resources, to prevent griefers taking up all the resources. It is hoped that this system could be used as a method wherever decentralized key authentication of names is needed (e.g. decentralized web applications where an association between a name and a cryptographic key proving ownership of that name). <b>In other words, an association between keys and names create the potential for the decentralized web by allocating cryptographically provable resources to names.</b> This could be used to prove the owner of a name published a document, and distributed across a decentralized network. The more applications using this system to secure/prove documents in a decentralized way, the higher the useful aggregate economic/social value of registered names on Handshake (Metcalfe's Law).</p>

There is no official foundation or organization, on HNS you aren't connected to a central server in full control of the network, so there are many community groups.
