I for one am hesitant to rely on a 'reddit p2p network' for which I have to seed with bitcoins.
Are there any estimates and just how much that cost/"incentive" per user is?
> Furthermore, when a user upvotes content, that sends a small amount of bitcoin to the author of that content, thus incentivizing the production of good content
How do you deincentivize folks from gaming that? Would we potentially run into a situation where new forms of online publishing are going to arise, where instead of being funded by Google Ads they are now funded directly by users liking their content? Will curators of cat pictures become overnight millionaires?
I think that's a fairly reasonable methodology for any web application or stack-- I run updates on most of my linux machines a few times a week, as needed, to edge out the would-be attackers (or fix other bugs I wasn't aware of).
I personally host the bulk of my stuff on a Linode VPS and just compartmentalize it into areas of duty and responsibility. My blog / portfolio gets the most attention right now from me, but stuff like my time tracking and CRM have their own areas that are "reasonably" separated from stuff like WordPress.
Google starts a lot of cool projects, it'd be neat to see other companies taking the same initiative in certain areas (I'm sure there are, I just am not well versed in that area).
But, yeah, in theory, you can download it and compile it. The fact that you would have to also buy a certificate from Apple to do it is just a detail. You _can_ do it.
