I'm dreaming of elimitut.com — a decentralized safety network for people in danger.
Sometimes, just talking anonymously helps. Someone to listen. No judgment, no identity — just human connection when you need it most.
What does help mean? The nearest people to the scene can physically intervene if needed.
The Problem
When someone is in trouble — especially women, children, and elderly — every second counts. Current systems fail because:
- Centralized platforms can be censored or shut down
- No internet? No help. But there are people and phones around you
- Location data goes through third parties
- Calls for help can be intercepted or blocked
- No anonymity when it matters most
The Vision
A peer-to-peer network where a cry for help spreads like wildfire — unstoppable, uncensorable, and intelligent.

How It Works
1. The Client (Inspired by BitChat)
Using a similar approach to BitChat Protocol, the client:
- Runs on any smartphone
- Communicates via Bluetooth mesh when internet is down
- End-to-end encrypted
- No account required — privacy by default

SMS Gateway (Old Phones)
No smartphone? No problem. Works with any phone that can send SMS:

│ │ Old │ SMS │ Gateway │ │ Relay │ │

│ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ │
│ │
│ How it works: │
│ 1. SMS to local number: "HELP" or "IMDAT" │
│ 2. Gateway extracts cell tower location │
│ 3. Forwards to relay network │
│ 4. Helpers notified via SMS or app │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
SMS keywords:
HELPorIMDAT— Emergency alertHELP [location]— With descriptionSTOP— Cancel alert
2. The Relay + LLM Layer
This is where it gets interesting. The relay servers do more than just forward messages:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ RELAY SERVER + LLM │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │
│ │ RECEIVE │──►│ LLM │──►│ BROADCAST │ │
│ │ Alert │ │ Process │ │ to Helpers│ │
│ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └───────────┘ │
│ │ │

│ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │ LLM Functions │ │
│ ├───────────────┤ │
│ │ • Verify threat │
│ │ • Assess urgency │
│ │ • Match helpers │
│ │ • Guide victim │
│ │ • Alert authorities │
│ └───────────────┘ │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The LLM helps by:
- Threat verification — Distinguishing real emergencies from false alarms
- Smart routing — Finding the best nearby helpers based on skills, distance, availability
- Real-time guidance — Talking the victim through the situation
- Evidence preservation — Organizing and securing proof for legal purposes
3. The Helper Network
Verified volunteers who can respond:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ HELPER CATEGORIES │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 🏥 Medical - First aid │
│ 🛡️ Security - Responders │
│ 🏠 Safe House - Shelter │
│ 📞 Listeners - Support │
│ ⚖️ Legal - Advocacy │
│ │

Why Decentralized?
| Centralized | Decentralized (Elimitut) |
|---|---|
| Single point of failure | No single point of failure |
| Can be censored | Censorship resistant |
| Data harvesting | Privacy preserving |
| Depends on company | Community owned |
| Borders matter | Borderless |
Use Cases
Not just emergencies — any moment someone needs help:
| Urgent | Non-urgent |
|---|---|
| 🚨 Safety threat | 🏥 Find a doctor |
| 🆘 Accident | 📚 Educational help |
| 🔥 Disaster | 💼 Job guidance |
| 👊 Violence | 🏠 Housing advice |
The platform handles both quick action (panic button) and requests (I need a tutor for my child).
Looking for Thinkers
I'm not looking for developers. I'm looking for:
- Thinkers — People who can improve this idea
- Advocates — People who want to spread it and help it grow
- NGOs — Working with at-risk populations
