| I would like to see more discussion around P2P solutions like https://dat-ecosystem.org/ and the fundamental principles around distributed networks/economies. I really like the idea of being able to "git clone" your data/website into your own local browser and just make it's own webserver. For most of content we generate, that would probably be enough. I don't see the point of trying to place everything in a blockchain. I understand the power (and need) to decentralization though. And I'm not sure just one tech/coin/protocol/chain will be enough, but maybe if we pack: - a P2P browser, with a wallet for authentication+payment (abstracting money away together with authentication is a near idea) - a versioned content manager that make it easy to pull/push from/to peers - ways to P2P nodes to sign their own content and give permission or not to peers to read/write, so we can trace ownership through version logs - a way to run serverless functions to share computational power, but only for complex tasks like ML training, rendering, etc - a way to automatically (and collectively) parse in-browser data to add annotations (bringing semantics to random data, or labels to ML datasets) - automate renderers of such data to create (and host) 2D websites, data visualizations, or 3D content (you can call it your own miniverse) Or what I just described is the Web we're already building, we just need more hands on deck to actually build it instead of wasting our time with bs. |
Blockchains have their uses - some of which I think offer real value - but from both a utility and ideological standpoint, if many people in "web3" truly stood by their principles they would be working on these kinds of technologies first. (For context, for my small part I'm attempting to build P2P zk rollups to allow users to prove to each other the correctness of their off-chain work)
