Reading #datproject and #scuttlebutt papers.
There's enough similarity of some basic underlying concepts with #IPFS that it may be possible to connect all three for some hypermedia things.
#Scuttlebutt has good security and p2p messaging.
#IPFS has no security whatsoever, but it has the MerkleDAG, which is amazing for hypermedia. It also has brilliant support for streaming video.
#Datproject is great for large repositories with versioning baked-in, and the Beaker browser does a pretty good job making #dat accessible.
No idea how integration could possibly work, the Beaker guys seem to have given up on that idea. But there's enough merit on all three to give it a good thought.
@catonano That would be correct, but I wasn't focusing on the quality of the reference implementations, rather on the merit s of their design innovations.
Remember that comparatively, Bittorrent's original reference implementation was a shitty Python script.
We can leave the more epidermic evaluations to the uninitiated.
@h If I was able, I would start a new implementation in Guile scheme.
Bt it's way more than I can chew
@h thank you for your kind words 🙂
@h
DAT is very interesting for its versioning of large datasets
Too bad it's made in JavaScript and packaging node packages is so damn difficult.
Packaging them in Guix is years away 😕
