The few people are the same as listed in my original reply. There may be others, but these are names I recognize as proponents to varying degrees. Yes of the three you are comparatively a very minor influence, just as they are likely even less relevant to the promotion of D. If you just learned of this project 10 hours ago, found it compelling enough to merit a submission, and are also pro-bitcoin, then this suggests there is an answer to "what's the point" in the set of motivations that attract the sort of people who think crypto-currency is a worthwhile endeavor. So a first order impression is that braid would help foster decentralization, or at least counter latent centralizing tendency(ies) baked into http in its current form.

> and are also pro-bitcoin For the third time, what's the basis of the claim that walterbell/submitter is pro-bitcoin? You're making a claim about a "group of three" where there's no data to include walterbell in the group, so that leaves an alleged "group" of two, i.e. a pair. Of the alleged pair, one person has posted once in this thread, the other posted ~20X. So you're referencing one (1) person, author of the article, whose affiliation is stated at the top of the IETF draft, no questioning needed. To salvage some value from this sub-thread, I found a crypto reference in this 2019 Braid post by toomim, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21642051 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21642051 > if you want to build a peer-to-peer network, then you will replace the server with a validation function running on each peer, and authentication with a crypto scheme. But we aren't at the point of trying to standardize that stuff yet. And a follow-up question by sagichmal: How do you break a GET request of some state blob into "granular patches" if the state is encrypted?
