post scriptum : the risk when everything is transparent, is to have strong
social control.

To avoid it, I imagine eventually participating in multiple networks, and
multiple relational dynamics ( "diversifying" assets ) ,

eventually also using certain networks using a system of keys, such as in (
as I understand it ) th F2F tool set up by Robin Upton

http://www.altruists.org/projects/ge/ff/

<http://www.altruists.org/projects/ge/ff/>Hence, there are various potential
approaches for avoiding too much dependency on one particular "system" , and
various options for choosing "priorities" of resource allocation, and
 resolving concurrency issues.
