Did you watch the video?

I hate to burst our collective techno-utopian bubble, but IMO the NSA is already a kind of malformed DAC, one with a LOT of active bounties being funded and accepted by significant numbers of less-than-scrupulous vendors.

Remember, they're not just poisoning the software, they're also poisoning the HARDWARE and the NETWORK. From the sound of things in that talk, it seems we have to pretty much rebuild our entire info-technological base from scratch, all while sustaining heavy fire in every sense.

DACs will not be some kind of panacea. We have not even begun to consider their black-hat uses and implications anyway.

We will be able to raise money and create bounties within the scope of a DAC, outsource the identification of both technical and non-technical vectors for solving problems, and then the DAC will monetarily reward people for building the required infrastructure and accomplishing goals initially set forth by the DAC specification.

This will allow large amounts of money to be crowdsourced and then spent on building the necessary social, technological, and political infrastructure necessary. All living in a decentralized cloud that leaves participants blameless.
