A self-organizing, self-healing, self-funding distributed network where your USB stick is your identity and the network is your computer. Disclaimer: This project is experimental and under active development. BorgIOS and BorgHUI Conduit may contain bugs, incomplete features, or breaking changes. It is not intended for production use, and no guarantees are made regarding reliability, data integrity, or security. BorgIOS is a peer-to-peer network operating system built from the ground up on a single principle: the network owns itself. No central servers. No domain names. No certificate authorities. No logins. No cookies. No blockchain. No company between you and your data. Just nodes, cryptographic identity, and a set of elegant rules that produce a resilient, intelligent, economically self-sustaining collective — one that gets faster, cheaper, and harder to destroy the more people join it. "Plug your USB stick in anywhere in the world, open a browser, and your entire digital life reconstructs itself from the network. Pull it out and you were never there." Every node in BorgIOS is an identical clone. No masters, no workers, no special hardware. Just nodes running the same code, self-organizing into a shallow broadcast tree, communicating via cryptographically signed JSON messages. Your identity is an EC keypair. Your data is signed shards scattered across the network. Your access token is the message itself — timestamped, signed, and self-verifying. No login required. Ever.
