Blockchain, the amazing solution for almost nothing (2020)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/programming

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • siad

    The Sia daemon

  • Something even more obvious to solve would be the dominance that services like AWS or Cloudflare have, and the fact that when they go down they bring half internet with them. Look at what sia.tech is doing

  • ens

    Discontinued Implementations for ENS core functionality: The registry, registrars, and public resolvers.

  • The following shortly describes the Ethereum Name Service. The problem is, I have a name I got from a friend, now I want to find the website, or wallet connected to this name. What doesn't really matter, just some associated identifier based on this name. One system for this is DNS. Assuming we agree DNS is important, I'm not saying ENS should replace DNS, but one could imagine using ENS to resolve identifiers just as important, more important, or even just partially as important as a server IP and we'd agree resolving names to unique identifiers is pretty important!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • This is pretty much me. I'm no expert (not a programmer, just doing a driveby on the thread) but reading stuff by Jorge Stolfi and Stephen Diel, who are, they are very skeptical.
