    In fact "GitCoin" was one of the levels in Stripe's distributed systems CTF in 2014: https://github.com/ctfs/write-ups-2014/tree/master/stripe-ctf3/level1 https://github.com/ctfs/write-ups-2014/tree/master/stripe-ct...

    >GitCoin Gitcoin is the name of a real blockchain project that let's people put ethereum bounties on their github issues. https://gitcoin.co/ https://gitcoin.co/ (Slightly off topic, sorry)

  Technically Dr. Richard Hipp is right https://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg26593.html https://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.o...

    > So, why can't we rebrand fossil as Blockchain-VCS or something and move on toward world domination? Because Fossil-- like Git-- doesn't solve, attempt to solve, or even advertise itself as solving the problem of decentralized consensus. All existing blockchain technologies at least claim to be a solution to the problem of decentralized consensus. Therefore Dr. Richard Hipp is only "technically" right in the ways that do not matter, in the same way that I'm "technically" doing functional programming any time I write a javascript function. I assume he knows this and is being satirical.

    If this would get people to finally get off of git, I'd approve.
