Blockstack addresses Zooko's triangle in their original whitepaper: https://blockstack.org/tokenpaper.pdf and their concept of gaia hubs is the association of immutable identities with user owned storage without the ne

There happens to be a great solution for this known as gaia hubs: https://docs.blockstack.org/ which you can learn about in these docs in conjunction with the immutable identities associated with them. I have also in more c

I don't think you understand. Congestion pricing explicitly exposes the costs of the streets. Price spikes due to congestion create market signals for competition to come in and make it cheaper. Right now, you have no clue where your t

"the average user doesn't want to be empowered when it comes to data harvesting" I think this is an extremely presumptuous statement that writes off how little empowerement the average user has by conflating the ignorance abo

Drobo looks cool. That is the idea with gaia. Right now our master branch allows you to docker-compose-up and use the admin api calls to configure "disk" to however you want. The main motivation here was regardless of what images

I absolutely agree. This is my number one push on our Gaia team and we are working on that.

It is true that privacy and data ownership are two separate ideas that are often conflated. I think the user having more control over what happens to their data, empowers them to decide who has access to what, and where they choose to host

This is why Blockstack exists. We also refer to our Gaia hubs as Digital Storage lockers: https://docs.blockstack.org/storage/overview.html You can see the apps utilizing this framework on app.co My personal favorite r

https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt <-- is good to read. Blockstack is in there. Handshake's security audit was also done by Zcash. If you look in the project info, they list all the info there.

Compared to what kind of payment onboarding system? Outside of free cash, anything related to setting up a bank account, or a credit card can take up to 7-10 business days if not more, post an application to do so. Do you know of any onboar

which is why I'm confused about all of the top ranking comments complaining that android will change their API for this. Will this require a change for android app developers if this is the case? Regardless, this seems like a more fund

and yet you are still alive and not starving to death. But the banter I see on here is android video game developers complaining that a move away from android will be the end of them. Google is not stupid, they are not going to deprecate an

there is also rkt, and anyways, while docker containers are great, they are just an abstraction of cgroups and namespaces, yet you forget that cgroups are a relatively recent concept in Linux and docker containers didn't even have name

Fuschia relies on the kernel Zicron which last time I checked used Magma as a framework to provide compositing and buffer sharing between the logical split of the application and system driver, which exist as user space services. The fact t

I think instead of comparing this to a front end web framework, you should consider how Fuschia is designed using capabilities (similar to the concept of a system call, and how a system call handler works) around a fundamental restructuring

Hey thank you for the feedback. usernames expire after two years, so that could be it depending on when in 2017 you registered your username. "One of my main questions with a lot of blockstack apps is exactly that - while they prove th

The speed is only an issue if you are storing all of your data in a decentralised network, but do you need to? What you want to persist is your identity, but you perhaps you don't need to replicate your data on other people's serv

This is one of the primary benefits of using Blockstack. The Blockstack naming system is used to associate an immutable user identity with the routing path to their storage, for reads and writes. The data is stored in your own gaia hub whic

Despite working with another protocol in the decentralized space, I have to say Andrew Staltz, who I assume is the person who made this comment based on the username, is doing such a great job with manyverse: https://www.manyver.

We address all three of these issues you discussed at Blockstack: 1. Limited scalability and latency. While latency is an issue, it is only an issue if you rely on all data and transactions to be on the Blockchain. At Blockstack, we registe
