I just came across Filecoin on their Github readme FAQ and it sounds like a great idea to me:
"What is the relation to Filecoin?
Filecoin is the sister protocol of IPFS. While neither protocol depends on each other, they are perfectly complementary. IPFS handles high performance distribution of objects; Filecoin handles incentivizing the world to backup/seed objects."
Cryptocurrency backed by real, useful, and valuable commodities (storage and bandwidth).
- schoen 12y agoDidn't Mojonation, from the Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow, originally have plans kind of like that?
- whyrusleeping 12y agokindof, yeah. Zooko wanted to build a distributed data economy with mojo, i'm not too sure on what happened to it, but we have talked with zooko and other people on the tahoe-lafs project and they seem interested in working out some sort of interop between our systems.
- woah 12y agoI believe mojonation's currency was not decentralized
- myers 12y agoIt wasn't, but you could have had multiple issuers of currency. Not that it ever got big enough to flex that part of the protocol.
