syn VS holochain

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.

It’s been in the works for a few years, and recently reached its beta-rc stage. There’s a quick scaffolding tool, a Typescript client, Rust client (being updated), integration with Nix, Rust and Typescript testing suites, a Tauri-based launcher, an Electron template, etc. It can even be deployed in a cloud instance if you wish. There’s a pretty passionate community on Discord. The Open Source Initiative even approved the Cryptographic Autonomy License specifically for Holochain apps.

Holochain is a framework for building Peer-to-Peer apps. Everyone can make their own app which utilizes Holochain. Holochain is build by the Holochain Foundation as an Open Source project, i.e. the source code is openly available on Github and you can use and modify it as you wish. Other than providing and developing the framework, the Holochain Foundation will have no control over any part of the app you build. The Foundation also cannot control which apps are built using Holochain. It does not have any governance power in this regard.

I have been thinking about architectural models for making our application distributed, such as Holochain and Gun.eco.

I'm curious about future potential synergies between Holochain ( https://github.com/holochain/holochain ) and the Cosmos ecosystem, considering the consensus engine (under development : https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-rust/tree/main/cosmrs ), the Interchain Blockchain Protocol ( https://github.com/informalsystems/ibc-rs ) and the smart contacts module (https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm ) exist in Rust.

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).

Harmony One & Holochain

Hey y'all. I've been bouncing ideas around in my skull for how to implement a peer-to-peer / distributed / decentralized / serverless game backend, mostly for the lulz, the what-if's, and the is-it-even-possible's. It would run over a p2p distributed database, peer validation, encryption/signing, based on Holochain, and would include a form of distributed ECS for managing "server" logic.

> It would force the global north to actually build what it's consuming instead of extracting rents from intellectual property. That won't happen.

Oh fuck yes it will happen! Come join us at:
