Lots of good to say about Dat. They're running a project to keep the open.whitehouse.gov dataset alive [1] and they're funded by the Knight and Sloan foundations to preserve science and government data. The protocol distributes flattened merkle trees, which behave as logs expressing the mutations to an archive. You can use the protocol to stream data feeds and file archives. It's all usable in node for custom applications as well [2]. I use it in my projects, so I'm a fan. 1. https://twitter.com/denormalize/status/831581871230193664 https://twitter.com/denormalize/status/831581871230193664 2. https://www.npmjs.com/package/dat-node https://www.npmjs.com/package/dat-node
