Would anyone be interested in building a decentralised courier?
I am interested if you can assure the safeties of the package and of course the sender security and the receiver .
For security in terms of anonymity, encrypted transactions and messaging on a blockchain could be used. For security of the receiver, a website with a reputation-based system could be used, like the review system that is used for vendors on the dark Web.
In terms of package tracking, I don't have that figured out yet.
Then if you can provide all that mentioned so Be it, and the tracking is the most important part because this is your road to success as the clients will be more concern on this part than everything mentioned above.
Good future ahead mate.
Thanks man. I definitely agree, tracking is a very important to provide more trust, but it is also the most difficult, as it could easily go against the goal of anonymity. Couriers could potentially provide their own updates on their location using the encrypted messaging, or they could provide their own tracking to the customer. Most delivery companies that I've seen don't provide much detail when it comes to tracking. Also, I used to do dropshipping from Aliexpress, and I've heard many stories of stuff like sellers providing fake tracking numbers, so it's very much an already existing problem. Perhaps couriers could provide regular photo evidence of their location as well, but I don't think they should have to provide any details they are not comfortable with giving.
