$2 billion to the first person to draft a decentralised git coin WhitePaper

[coding123]

I think you just did.

[drdaeman]

No. We need a proper whitepaper explaining how to make GitHub decentralized with blockchain tokenization using distributed smart-contracts. ;)

(Did I forget any important buzzword?)

[sdruskat]

It exist! Not a whitepaper, but at least a Medium article: https://medium.com/@alexberegszaszi/mango-git-completely-dec.... Ethereum + IPFS/Swarm as backend for Git.

Source code is currently unavailable as it is hosted on ... drum roll ... GitHub: https://github.com/axic/mango.

[edraferi]

Insufficient Dogfood.

[derimagia]

Now that it's up you can see:

  This repository is also available on Mango at mango://{...}

[unit91]

You nailed it for the devs but you gotta' say it to people who would pay for it too.

Decentralized GitHub would synergistically leverage our existing cloud infrastructure to provide unprecedented collaboration that is open, robust, efficient, and focused.

Nah, but you could always add some Serverless and Lambada to make it more Agile.

"crypto" baiting is like the funniest trend ever in the Stock Market lately.

Kodak is riding that pony home ... (noting I live in Buffalo, just down the road from Kodak's home turf in Rochester and I'm a pretty avid photographer - http://www.instagram.com/crispyfotos/).

You got to ironically buzz to be cool today? Pretend you didnt get it, so all those d* who didnt get it can lecture you. We are deeply invested into the idea of the Seagullarity!

Blockchain is so 2017--block lattice is the future.

[JohnStudio]

Actually that's the FIRST time I've ever heard of lattice. Is that a real deal? Not trying to feed into the hype here, but from a math perspective I get fascinated by concurrency

[ezekg]

Yeah, a cryptocurrency called Rai currently uses it (maybe IOTA too?). Essentially, each account gets its own blockchain and they're connected together using a DAG data structure.

[ChristianBundy]

Yeah, RaiBlocks is currently the only one doing it, although you could make the case for Stellar as well.

[stephenr]

I read this as block lettuce the first time around.

[karlmcguire]

Just don't host it on Github Pages.

[CabSauce]

It's missing a sprinkle of AI.

[JohnStudio]

deep-learning. AI is so 2002 (noting I, Cyborg by Kevin Warwick)

[yellowsir]

why not just use git-ssb? some gateways:

SIA coin is a similar concept. They even have video hosting/streaming on their development roadmap.

Decentralized storage, filesystem and social media seem to be the most valuable use–case for blockchains aside from the inherent value of cryptocurrency.

It's funny that there's already a Gitcoin project, however they do NOT have a token: https://gitcoin.co/

The goal of the project is to incentivize FOSS development, similar to Bountysource, except without requiring participants to trust a central party. It's pretty cool!

[mhluongo]

Gitcoin already exists :) https://gitcoin.co/
