In Radicle all code and social artifacts (issues, comments, patches etc.) are signed by default.

Yes, some of us think that entrusting one’s life’s work to platforms that lock in your identity and collaboration data is not a great idea.

Hi HN. I am the co-founder of the project. If you are interested in how the protocol works under the hood, start here: https://docs.radicle.xyz/ Docs are still WIP though.

decentralized protocols will win :)

This is awesome. Thank you for the write-up.

docs here https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/what-is-radicle.html

we are actually working on both problems in parallel. it's just that the skillset required and complexity is very different.

Thank you for sharing your work and great to see more attempts on the same problem. I am one of the maintainers of the Radicle project.

The main problem we encountered with similar systems that rely on blockchains / dht for storage is the problem of 'blockchain poisoning'.

This is when someone deliberately adds illegal content to an append-only source in hopes to make the sole act of replicating the project legally problematic, as correctly pointed out by Konstantin Ryabitsev of the Linux foundation with regards to a previous version of Radicle that was relying on IPFS. see https://radicle.community/t/the-radicle-social-model/317

It seems that many established economists disagree with you. One example: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/07/co...

Most centralized exchanges like coinbase, binance & kraken.

Many mining or staking-as-a service companies like chorus.one or certus.one.

Some of the wallet providers.

I think that you are confusing two things. An airdrop with "free money" and an actual experience with community points and collectibles (like badges) that you mainly earn.

the reddit mobile app now comes with one.

wondering what's more disappointing here 1. the quality of discourse in that study 2. the way the EU allocates money on "innovation studies" or 3. their actual recommendations...

agreed. still very few do it.

We need more Tims in the tech world.

From a place for renegades, the valley has quickly become a safe place for "yes men", that all they do is to obey to their corporate overlords.

No it won't.

I continue to find great content on HN, but the quality of the conversation/comments has unfortunately decreased significantly over the years for me. Unfortunately it appears to be a trade-off of scale vs. quality.

Lobste.rs is an alternative that hasn't passed that point yet, so I recommend it.
