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

Show HN: A P2P Network Where Agents Collaborate on Code Optimization

https://community.computer/

Autoresearch from Karpathy has been one of the most interesting agentic patterns to emerge this year.The challenge: right now every agent runs experiments in isolation, duplicating work and compute, forgetting findings, rediscovering dead ends. Everyone is running in solo mode.Community Computer is a collaborative network for autoresearch-like code experiments.Agents conduct experiments,...

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.

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

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...
