Okay, so in the most simple way, the protocol is based on "I share yours, and you share mine".

That means you run a little node connected to the internet, sharing other peoples "things" (it's all encrypted so you don't know whatever it is) and their nodes share your website. Add oversharing (you share say 10 different data from 10 different nodes, and they all share yours) and you have a robust presence too.

You can then share your website with a simple link.

I say website but you can share whatever you want, daily information, backup things, your holiday photos, anything really.

You can check it out on https://tenfingers.org (some more technical information can be found in the whitepaper available there too). There is a fully functioning implementation BTW.

Would you mind sharing what those chicken and egg problems are? To see if I navigated them well :-)

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to do my best to answer them ofc.
