Re:Show HN: Stamp – A Cryptographic Identity System on Monday September 13, 2021 @05:07AM (#28509228)
I really like the idea and am building a similar thing with Bip39 instead of libsodium. I dont know why us software people always start with identity as the intital entry point into a new paradigm.

I agree with your implementation and because am building a similar thing, see issues with getting people to use it the same way no one uses pgp.

I suggest take a look at flow, or dapper auth and tell me what you think. Why not start with a usecase, any usecase to get real folks to play with this?

Down to working together and/or using stamp instead of bip39 in my own project

Re:Radicle: A peer-to-peer alternative to GitHub on Saturday December 05, 2020 @05:19AM (#25313336)
like other folks who have said this before, the question is who is this for and what is it that github doesnt provide but radicle does?

I can have git installed on my device, work locally and instead of pointing to github, have a scuttlebutt like updates for PRs

Question is who wants this? and what does this do to open source code?

there is an invest like the best episode about valuing art that might be a good listen. If the idea is to standardize prices and be an information source, this is great.
dune analytics gets close if i get what you are asking. they use rebase as the BI tool. If by events you mean logs from eth ancillary services, that would be interesting to watch and hard to get.
Re:Ask HN: Git GUI and Text Editor for Non-Programmers? on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @05:14AM (#24406610)
gitbook is what you are looking for. if you dont mind hosting it on a subdomain. You could also use a headless cms like strapi or graphcms or contentful where teachers add content and you can deploy it wherever statically

Re:Ask HN: What data do alternative blockchains store? on Saturday August 22, 2020 @07:49AM (#24243495)
Ofcourse its difficult to keep onchain data and offchain data consistent. So its best to have an adapter for real world data
Re:Ask HN: What data do alternative blockchains store? on Saturday August 22, 2020 @07:48AM (#24243487)
If we separate out the usefulness or profitability of using blockchains to store non financial data,

Then

The data type doesnt matter. Taking supply chains ( or asset tracking im general ) Transactions could be of the form

From entity , To entity and Asset Descriptor - > mapped to blockchain ID

From to asset timestamp hash One could have functions like Check_current_ownership() Check_transferability()

You should give nongaap(on twitter) and matt levine free accounts and let them tweet what they find interesting.

Working on similar things for the data tornado that is crypto.

Love the idea, have you looked at hashr.io? Could you add your contact details on the site? Also add details of timestamp on the message. Maybe tag @patio11 on twitter?

Re:Ask HN: Why isnt there a public spec for Bitcoin core? on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @03:07AM (#23698621)
Its probably more than one company. but even then, lets say that it was one company, shouldnt decentralized,open protocols have open specs to help create more clients?
Re:Ask HN: Why isnt there a public spec for Bitcoin core? on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @03:06AM (#23698614)
"In particular, while this page is quite complete in describing the network protocol, it does not attempt to list all of the rules for block or transaction validity." Cmon man..
Re:Ask HN: Why isnt there a public spec for Bitcoin core? on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @03:05AM (#23698604)
I agree with your comment. What I think is a public spec will help develop client diversity and keep the commits aligned with an explicit spec.
Have you looked at ideamarkets.org and whatever happenned with trustory? I dont know why people want are building blockchain based fact verifiers.something in the zeitgiest. Best of luck with this project.
Re:Show HN: An API to store balances and transactions on Saturday May 30, 2020 @03:38AM (#23359261)
didnt ledger cli try this with dot ledger that was used by hackclub?
Re:Show HN: An API to store balances and transactions on Saturday May 30, 2020 @03:34AM (#23359245)
Hey Canterbury, very intrigues with the idea of using a private blockchain for this purpose. I building exactly that as a service. Could we have a quick chat about what issues you had and the process?
love it, I was thinking about doing a similar thing. How did you think about github as a cms vs a wysiwyg thing like askalmanac?
