<p><b>Please be careful about using other software or giving away your private key to others. Handshake is an experiment in decentralized allocation of ownership of the network to the open source community.

<p>This page explains how <b>github developers with over 15 followers on February 2019</b>, or in the <b>PGP WoT Strong Set</b> can claim. Being able to claim does NOT imply that one is a "top open source developer", this system was optimized for a list of scrapeable keys (and could not be modified after the Handshake network launches without a hard fork).</p>
<h2>System Setup</h2>
<p>Please read through these instructions carefully, as using cryptographic blockchains are a bit unusual.</p>

<p>See the documentation on more commands, such as renewals which must be made at least every two years.</p>
<p>Try googling/searching for <b>hns block explorer</b> or looking on an HNS Exchange for a list of bid blinds and bid status of names.</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>Handshake is a decentralized naming network with the majority ownership of initial coins are distributed to open source developers with available scrapeable keys. 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 giving the open source community the majority ownership 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 cyrptographically 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>
