> I haven't done proper research, but i personally feel it is an over-ambitious or rather an extremely pretentious project.

Agreed--it’s either ambitious or over-ambitious, depending on your view of what is possible. But if it’s not in this category, it’s not a zero-to-one project and therefore, not interesting enough (at least to me) for the time and effort.

By doing some proper research, you may come to the conclusion that such an endeavor is possible. Read some good books on Peer-To-Peer technologies, like this one and try to figure out why many distributed computing projects in the past all failed and why that should not be the case today. Also try to read some academic papers on distributed computing, grid computing, etc. There are a lot of those. Think about reputation systems and what kind of businesses they’ve enabled. You’re on this board, so I’m sure you have a good idea about how Ethereum enables new things to come to life. And importantly, do research on the team.

> with all these icos, it looks like a blockchain bubble is around the corner. Don't get me wrong, Blockchain will definitely invaluable just like the internet. Companies without substance or created just to ride the hype fall.

Agreed--it is a minefield out there. A bunch of projects look like nothing more than a scam. Others are legit but probably won’t work for one or more valid reasons. This is consistent with any technological breakthrough of the past, whether it’s the invention of the railroad, automobile, computer, internet, and now the blockchain; it's part of the package. And one day, among all the rubble, some very large enterprises will come out of this, just like what happened in those other breakthrough technological periods. And the rewards will go to those who have put in the time and effort to understand which of these projects will add a lot of value to the world and be able to keep their competitive position for a long time.
