Call for Participation in Handshake Protocol Community Group

The Handshake Protocol Community Group has been launched:

The Handshake project aims to solve certificate authorities problems caused by the centralization of the DNS root zone. The goal is to replace the current DNS root zone with a decentralized blockchain database that allows everyone to own a TLD.
