The related trustchain project has been posted here before and the one interesting thing I learned from it was the NAT punching technique to build an p2p network overlaying a exisiting network, IPv8 they call it. I don't know where it goes from there or how or why we need this blockchain without a POW. Don't get me wrong, I don't like POW, but if you remove it you might as well remove the blockchain too. Just normal boring web stuff. Say you want to build a clubhouse clone using this technology, it's all the rage, how would this practically work for things like onboarding, scaling rooms up to ten thousands of users, on a mobile phone network, who will pay the content creators, hell who will pay the developers, and what tradeoffs does this involve as nothing is for free. Given this is it even the best way to spend or resource, dunno aren't there people staring. Does anyone really care about this except the academics who get payed for big ideas. Plus a clubhouse clone is super lame, a real "copy without an original" idea. It is at least a little bit ironic that this decentralised technology has only been adopted in a super app: https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp/ https://github.com/Tribler/trustchain-superapp/ This not my idea of democracy. I'd wish more people knew about Arrow's impossibilities theorem, especially privileged people into decentralisation.
