No, a blockchain is an immutable ledger, you can't equate a blockchain to an API. That would be like comparing an apple to a car. Lots of blockchain tech (defi) use various API's in their own ecosystems, some private, and some pub

Well with the quick spin I did I wanted to create a few integer based data types, which is pretty standard for a DB/API. Your numerical type only allows for 7 numbers which seems very odd. Postgres for example has 10 different default

Really cool, super intuitive UI. I won't really be able to use it though until it supports more data types, hopefully with specific DB's in mind.

Driving groups of people more underground to use protocols and services which are hard to ban is a good tactic overall? That will eventually put a bullseye on the whole internet.

Online trading platforms also go down...just like crypto exchanges. The tech stack has to be incredibly resilient and fast, several steps above most software in terms of performance and reliability.

Some constructive advice, your homepage is messy, the ratios and spacing are really off and makes it hard to digest and focus on your features. This will directly impact your actual product. Please don't be insulted , I've spend 2

Agreed Gutenberg was a huge mistake, from a software perspective this lacked direction. Re-inventing a wheel is never a good thing.

To be honest the title is a bit sensationalist (Sistine chapel ..ya that's a journalist), its from the twitter of a TV show host not a scientist. The whole area is famous for rock art and has been documented since the pre 1940's.

I remember using this, though very briefly and more out of pure curiosity. It's weird to think that back then I felt http was a rather boring protocol, it was like reading a file only much much slower. Talk about lacking insight.

I guess some speed tests would be insightful since your effectively doing more hops, and also a comparison to why this beats SSL. You list the pro's but what about the cons? Surely having an immutable ledger has some negatives, as well
