<div>"Trusted third parties" come up a lot in protocols for various things.<br />
<br />
However, there's a bootstrapping problem: if protocol X doesn't have any well-known trusted third parties, then nobody can use protocol X. If nobody is using protocol X, then there's no market for someone to build a "X server".<br />
<br />
If there was a way to price E code (how much cpu, storage, bandwidth, will running this E code consume? How long does this server have to stay up?) then someone could run an "arbitrary code execution service" and people interested in running protocol X could create (and pay for) "X servers", trusting that the arbitrary code execution service's business model is to "be the trusted third party", rather than mining the data flowing through their server, for example.</div>76.179.110.215http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/WhiteboardsWhiteboards2010-11-06T17:54:22Z<p>76.179.110.215: </p>

<div>Whiteboards are pages that members of various E and Capabilities [[Erights:Community Portal|discussions]] can hash stuff out upon.<br />
<br />
Whiteboard means, like a wiki page only more purposely, visibly and messily so.<br />
<br />
Might invent some etiquette. For instance: don't just erase someone else's content. Maybe stages like: add comment about why it's not needed/obsolete/resolved/off-topic etc., discuss on whatever list, reduce font size, finally move to a "resolved" section. <br />
<br />
To create a whiteboard: edit this page, add a link to the new whiteboard, save, then click the link. Probably put a first sentence saying the new page is a whiteboard, with link back to here.<br />

* [[Webkeys vs the web]]: How can a way to convey capabilities in URLs be used to make useable user-facing web pages without vulnerabilities like clickjacking?<br />
* [[Arbitrary code execution service]]: Can we put third parties into the cloud, or otherwise commodify them?</div>76.179.110.215
