If this wasn't a rhetorical question, I'd be happy to answer it, but since it is, I'll let you bathe in ignorance along with everyone else.

Can’t you do that today though? ie. Circumvent your meter? It’s illegal though.

So given a locked iPhone, you are able to extract its private key?

Give the smart meter a private key protected in hardware, give the chain its public key, and you can now verify things.

We are evaluating this!

Fantastic, thanks!

No, the full feature-set is available offline. You can browse your repos and any other repo you replicated, and push/pull. What offline means is simply that your changes won't immediately be replicated to peers. But the full app experience (Read and write) works offline.

Privacy by necessity will use end-to-end encryption, as artifacts will end up being propagated on the network. This isn't however so easy for long-lived artifacts (eg. what happens if your key is compromised sometime in the future), and we will need things such as forward secrecy.

Thanks for the feedback! The priorities you mention are very close to our own, and we have already started working on some of them. We will definitely be integrating discovery more closely into the app in the long run.

That’s not the same. You’re talking about copying the data locally, but this still doesn’t let you create issues for eg. offline.

Have you used GitHub? It adds a bunch of functionality on top of git.

A couple of hours[0]? One entire day[1]?

It isn’t, no. It’s based on a protocol we’ve developed called Radicle Link, which provides a gossip layer on top of git.

Yeah, we will eventually move to L2 if it is able to deliver what L1 does at a cheaper cost. Currently this isn’t the case, as only token transfers are possible on L2.

Because you want a way to move money around eventually. Eg. How do you do GitHub sponsors p2p?

Almost the same thing as what?

I feel you. A CLI is on our roadmap, as well as moving to a lighter-weight app container[0]

So when GitHub is down, how do users know to pull from your mirrors? How about push?

You can't push within LAN and then have that automatically available when online to the wider network, unless you have some form of continuous replication to some public-facing host. This is what Radicle does for you.

More like the latter. The first funding feature we are launching will allow you to set a monthly budget and have it split amongst a set of users/maintainers of your choosing.

Good question. I know of a few projects hosting their own GitLab instance, the problem is that this requires me to create a new account/identity for each of these instances. This is a far cry from what GitHub brought, which was a single "place" and social network where you could browse and contribute to all projects with the same account.

Radicle attempts to take back control (just like running your own instance), but without giving up network effects.

The design of GitHub means that your canonical upstream is only accessible through the internet, and so are your issues, PRs etc. If you're offline, you can't access it, and if GitHub is down, same story.

Radicle, on the other hand, keeps all of this replicated locally, so push/pull works offline, and the code/social artifacts are replicated asynchronously, when you are online, but you don't need to be online to work with your project(s).

The shameless plug we all needed

Keep in mind the receiving public key is not revealed when money is sent to an address, only its hash. So you'd have to "reverse" SHA256 first.

what's a 2d printer

Look, if you're happy working for Initech for the rest of your life, then no, you probably don't need side projects.

This is misleading and pretty much wrong. It’s like saying the hen is a liability, the only asset is the egg. Or like saying your team is a liability and the only asset is the work they produce..

Totally right, though I wouldn’t underestimate the growing community of people for whom p2p is a feature. Being able to use something forever because no one can shut it down is important to some.

Complete nonsense..

For working directly with Vulkan, ‘ash’ is preferred. If you want to abstract over platforms, then gfx-rs is solid, or wgpu for a higher level api. Vulkano hasn’t really delivered on its promise unfortunately.
