   @witchescauldron @serapath I was excited about this (and met Mathias in Copenhagen, etc.) years ago but zoned out when they got into bed with Tether (https://tether.to/en/tether-bitfinex-and-hypercore-launch-holepunch-a-platform-for-building-fully-encrypted-peer-to-peer-applications/).

   You don’t need a replicated data type, partial/universal proofs or not, in order to have a *topologically* decentralised peer to peer network. You just need people to own and control their own nodes on the network; which can be done on the open web.

     @witchescauldron @serapath When I was last playing with it, hypercore was (is?) based on a directed acyclic graph and worked well. It was lacking multi-writer support (without CRDT last I saw) but I believe that was finally addressed in time. The core tech, at least back then, was a genuine attempt to create a replicated datatype and tools based on it without any bloat (or a business model beyond grants). You could likely build on that foundation.

     @aral @serapath

     OK so it clearly comes from the #web03 mess, I was smelling this, good to have a link, thanks @aral

     Like most blockchain mess, they have stepped away... now the question is the tech they have built useful or useless, can it be run as unbranded community projects? Rather than branded #NGO tech fail. Anyone have information on this, please?
