Repbin release v0.0.2
We're happy to announce the release v0.0.2 of Repbin: The replicated, encrypted, distributed and anonymized pastebin. Changes include: Better terminal usability, sqlite/mysql backend, binaries! Check here for release source code and client binaries: https://github.com/repbin/repbin/releases/tag/v0.0.2 About Repbin: Repbin is an encrypted pastebin for the command line that runs over Tor! Repbin servers form a distributed network where nodes sync posts with each other (like in Usenet or BBS/Fido systems). This makes Repbin resilient and scalable. Repbin focuses on privacy (encrypted messages) and anonymity (padding and repost chains). To limit spam and denial-of-service attacks, Repbin uses the Hashcash proof-of-work algorithm which is widely known from Bitcoin mining.

The most obvious application would be weather forecasting: It could use a huge amount of computation, on a continuously ongoing basis, and is valuable to every nation on earth. Whether it can be lasso'ed into a bitcoin-mining engine, I don't know. Jim Bell

My dream would be a distributed github replacement (a'la gitchain) where proof-of-work is somehow related to compilation, running tests, or somesuch.

Probably not -- the "thing" mined has to be easily verifiable by other nodes. How does one verify a weather forecast in such a setting? ;) -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
No blockchains, but you've seen gittorrent right? :) On 9 September 2015 23:47:31 IST, rysiek <rysiek@hackerspace.pl> wrote:

That's it. And actually, blockchains. The refs: http://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittorrent-a-decentral... https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent http://code.google.com/p/gittorrent/ [gcode is dying, mirror if interested]

Yeah, the problem with this is how you actually have to pay to use it: "Making any Bitcoin transaction on the blockchain I believe currently costs around $0.08 USD, so you pay your 8 cents to the miners and the network in compensation for polluting the blockchain with your 80 bytes of data." -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

Yeah, I've known about it for some time. Thing is, it doesn't solve the "discoverability" problem GitHub solves... GitTorrent/Gitchain have the ability to do just that. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
