Proposal: a backup chat system for running buildbots and other Slack integrations in the event that Slack goes down?

It would be great if there was a decentralized (maybe federated) realtime chat protocol.

\s

Perhaps we could build it on a block chain. Messages on the blockchain. Perfect.

And wait up to 10 minutes for a ChatCoin transaction to go through? Ain't no one got time for that!

"Slack is down" is the new "gmail is down"
