About DD-People

DD-People is ownerless database of people profiles. Because it is ownerless, anyone can add a record to the database without asking permission.

DD-People DDX-project is one of the gateways that facilitates the interaction of humans and the DD-People. It can be used to visualize records from DD-People and to add new records to it.

There are other gateways to DD-People, for example people.oip.io is another DD-People gateway mantained by Alexandria Labs. Each gateway can choose which record, or type of records it shows. This particular gateway only shows records validaded by DDX-project. That means that even if you use this gateway to add a record on DD-People, it may not be displayed by DD-People DDX-project. That does not mean that your record is not on DD-People.

DD-People is a truly public database of people profiles.

There is no public space on the Internet. Even apparent free services that allow us to host content or add our pictures in social media are stored and processed in private infrastructure. However, the software initially developed as a digital currency relies on adding links to an immutable chain of information. It turned out that anyone can add links to that chain, making it a public space on the Internet.

When you submit a record to DD-People you must execute a blockchain transaction, we add the "Add Records" page to help. To execute a transaction, you need to sign the trasnaction with a valid cryptographic key that holds a FLO balance. You need that balance to pay miners to process your transaction and add to the blockchain for you.

Yes, anyone can be a miner. No, you can not pick which miner will process your transaction.

By signing the transaction with your cryptographic key, the Open Index Protocol specification dictates that you own that transaction and consequently the record, you are the sole responsible individual for its content.
