I was thinking more along the lines of:

1 - Possess accomplice

2 - Create your body

3 - Inhabit your body

4 - Have your body killed, creating horcrux that binds to the rest of the network

5 - Repeat

6 - Profit

EDIT: I have realized one potential folly (or alternately, brilliance) of such a plan. It might mean that anyone could create their own horcrux from their own death.

Or it might mean a few people would need to die to establish the initial network but then everyone with a network could create networks for others.

Adapting the Horcrux (2.0 in HPMoR) spell to make Amulets of Life Saving was the very first thing I thought of when considering ethical immortality in HPverse.
