Not sure what is meant by a drop in replacement in this context.

Normally I would think a drop in replacement would mean I could switch to it and do everything the same as I was doing it. But my guess is that if I did this drop in replacement that little to none of the web activities I partake in would work anymore. So maybe my thoughts aren't quite what is meant.

It's a drop in replacement for everything north of the user's web browser - so it's drop-in from the perspective of the user, but centralized services need to be recreated for it. We're already working on a decentralized messaging system as a proof of concept, others will follow.

I'm not thrilled to see a discussion of contracts.. How do the system designers intend to avoid a speculative tulip market for small amounts of processing? Can anyone bring up all the computing they would ever need by plugging it into the Internet?

The P2P aspect looks much better, but naturally there's the question of how this is differentiated from something like Tor with .Onion sites?
