Funny that you say that.

I have absolutely nothing to do with Holochain. I attended one Holochain meetup. Since you thought that, I should say my own project is called Intercoin.org ... I linked to a page that lets you discover a lot more.

Why don’t you say this is a way to shill MaidSAFE?

I guess my shilling was too subtle for you to even notice. And that’s fine.

You know what really bothers me about HN lately... I have written tons of helpful information on all these topics at our domain BUT I AM AFRAID TO LINK TO IT in a comment because it will be heavily downvoted (-3 for now) and called a shill.

You can literally devote YEARS of hard work and bugfixing, open source the code base as I did with https://qbix.com/platform and describe exactly what the problems are and how this solves them and you can take the code and use it...

But the comment is instantly downvoted and You’re called out for shilling. Shilling what, a free and open source project? Why even bother to link to solutions anymore. May as well just stop at a few helpful but vague suggestions. I have started doing that.

In this case I thought it would be good form to mention some competing projects to illustrate a major new generation solving sharding. Turns out that’s even worse. Apparently I’m shilling our competitors now!
