I'm not a maximalist either. Distributed networks are always less efficient than hierarchical systems at specific tasks. Some projects, such as the Bitcoin lightning network or Ethereums' Raiden therefore try to build faster payme

The next step would be doing these interactions - service registration, search, negotiation, usage, payments, certification etc. without a trusted, centralized intermediary. Have a look at the https://ethereum.org project to see

Yes. The only costs that would occur would be transaction fees for changing state in the Ethereum network (which is only required once for registering the service and at the order of half a cent at the current scalability level) and a simil

One of the things that striked me when I worked on my first API was that all of service registration, search, payments and certification incur a lot of overhead. Most of these problems are addressed by using third party platforms and middle

I spend the last few weeks trying to find an appropriate SDL for my project but have otherwise no experience in creating APIs. In my opinion, API specs should probably be generated from code and its documentation, and not the reverse. This

That is what I'm wondering about, too. Not only how the external relationship between this "hivemind" and those that are not a part of it would look like, but especially what kind of effect this would have on the human brain.

Together with systems such as ipfs.io, possibly yes. Have a look at https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx But there still are many open problems: - incentivised file storage - fair name spaces - search and indexing and m

Exactly. To me, this experiment made it clear that the speed with which information is exchanged, new ideas are formed and behaviours adapted will increase drastically the more people are intimately connected to the internet. Not even half

An incredible idea. This is memetics in action. As with the button last year, people set up factions, appoint leaders and then abandon them as fast as they are created. But now, every time a majority in a room votes to GROW, two microcultur

Do you know any projects that reverse this functionality (generating API documentation from code)? I know that https://github.com/timothycrosley/hug intends to provide this in the future, but could not find one for oth

Thanks! I figured the same. OpenAPI seems to be it. WSDL on the other hand seems to be dead and/or unusable. Even one of its creators described it as a "train wreck" :)

I want to do it right, so I want to ask you: Question 1: Is there a de facto API/service description language standard out there? Optional question 2: Which would be the best choice for a decentralised internet of services?

I have the same questions when reading something like this. Expert verification seems more like an appeal to authority and intuition instead of a definite proof with formal rigorosity. Locally, there is always structure, but in pure mathema

I doubt this will hold true in the long term. I build stuff on top of Ethereum and there seems to be huge interest and financial support for the platform. It is true that Zeronet works out of the box, but Ethereum seems to provide cleaner a

There is http://golemproject.net/ , which builds on top of Ethereum and uses it for administrative purposes (e.g. payments).

I agree, the current website does not explain it very well. Let me try. The Ethereum vision encompasses three components: P2P messaging, a file distribution layer and Blockchains. I described them in more detail here: https://www

This one seems to be static to the listener position and require more hardware. Assuming only headphones are used, something like WAVE ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibM3fz-P0Ac ) could be used to simulate reflection, refr

This is awesome! Knowing nothing about this space, is there already a program that uses (wave based) sound simulation to allow music programming in an arbitrary 3d environment? This could go beyond mono and stereo :)
