Guess I'll have to look for a new stack for my P2P project...
I sure wonder how all the past grant providers, such as NLnet, feel about the core protocol being taken out of open governance, and instead captured by cryptoshit scammers: https://github.com/dat-ecosystem-archive/organization#grants-and-grant-applications
(It's Tether/Bitfinex who have taken it over, by the way. Yeah, the ones who have been artificially pumping up exchange rates.)
I think that what pisses me off most about this, is that all this grant money *could* have been used to do so much good, and could have been life-changing for people... but instead, it ended up basically 'seeding' some tech for a hypercapitalist cryptoshit company, to save them a buck
@joepie91 hypercore? 🤔
@kim Formerly known as the Dat protocol, and it was (formerly) a decentralized log-based protocol with no involvement of cryptoshit
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@joepie91 I guess it's another failure of open source too. NLnet requires projects and their documentation to be released under a suitable floss license, but that leaves a lot of room for just taking the project private afterwards, or open-core type shit
@joepie91 Socketsupply maybe?
@rtn Also commercial, and runs on Hypercore
Oh jesus christ, *of course* it's fucking cryptobros. Fucking hell. Well, RIP hypercore I guess.
