Good news: Crypto created the new business model for open source software.
Naval: "Ironic that the most monetizeable code in the world is now open source (running on blockchains). OSS has the best business model."

- wmf 6y agoThat only works if you're willing to attach a scam to your software and it gives you no incentive to work on the software since it doesn't generate value.
- geofft 6y agoThey created a new business model for a new type of open source software. It doesn't do anything for all the existing types of open source software. Nobody is going to turn glibc into a blockchain.
- saagarjha 6y agoThat's just a sign of glibc being stuck in the wrong millennium more than anything else. Add a couple functions to create ERC20 tokens and add the EVM as a supported architecture and I'm sure that can change. It's high time to remove those unsafe APIs like strcpy and printf that cause CVEs all the time and refocus effort on things that actually matter.
- romanoderoma 6y agoYeah like add features nobody uses for real and remove functions that will break thousands of programs used by millions of people That is thinking in the future, I'm sure of it
- geofft 6y agoHahaha I almost got so mad at this comment :)
