syn VS hREA

hey so i messaged someone on the Holo team (Paul d'Aoust @helioscomm), this was his reply:

Yes, people will want conflict-resolution for contention on scarce resources, and it'd be lovely to have that baked into the system. Two options (and yes, both still leave conflict resolution in the app dev's hands):

- Have the zome function resolve the conflict after it retrieves conflicting metadata from the DHT

- In the future we'll bake conflict resolution right into the network layer, so DHT authorities can resolve the conflict automatically using CRDTS or manually by pinging the nodes that published conflicting information so they can resolve it themselves.

It's also worth mentioning Syn, a library which uses operational transforms (a precursor to CRDTs) for conflict-free collaborative document editing. https://github.com/holochain/syn I'm looking forward to seeing someone produce something similar, but with CRDTs.

If you’re curious, REA stands for Resource-Event-Agent. The h is for Holochain software implementation of that accounting framework.

> Also get tired of the aspirational rants of how it is going to fix supply chains and offer banking to the underserved communities. And yes, I understand banking, supply chains, and crypto enough to know that that will never happen.

agreed. have you heard of hREA [1] and http://valueflo.ws, by Bob and Lynn from http://mikorizal.org? it's sort of an open source SAP alternative, that is designed as local-first software. it uses the REA accounting method [2] to implement LETS or mutual credit type economic networks for cooperatives / small business ecosystem / commons based peer production / any transitional/solidarity economies.

Bonfire is also implementing Valueflows vocabulary on ActivityPub [3].

are running encrypted app code for them so that they can take part in the app/network, without having the required technical chops (the holofuel currency measures processing power). the FAQ does a good job of explaining it a bit more: https://holo.host/faq/

i'm not super interested in the whole holo thing (they sold holofuel hosting credits). i am glad they did it because it meant the team could ramp up development.

about the marx and engels thing. i am most excited about the potential for http://valueflo.ws on top of holochain [3], because it will allow us to move away from today's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, into a new paradigm of Network Resource Planning (ERP) software, that i hope will have a big impact on supply chains of the next economy (socialist).

Check out the holochain project as well as valueflo.ws/hREA projects. There is a lot of work being done on "next-economy"/post-capitalist technology in the "web3" space. Some other people to check out in that space are Arthur Brock and Mikorizal software.

Might want to check out the Holo-REA github for the latest implementation of some of these ideas being built on Holochain: https://github.com/holo-rea/holo-rea

Example, Valueflo.ws is based on, if I understand it correctly, Resource-Event-Agent (REA) accounting, as an alternative to traditional double entry bookkeeping, and an implementation of these are ideas are currently being built on Holochain, as Holo-REA.

Something that really blew my hair back is hREA - a combination of the Resources Events Agents (REA) accounting method, with the distributed application framework holochain. It's fully open source: https://github.com/holo-rea/holo-rea

This is a fun intro: http://mikorizal.org/futures.html
