Stronglinks #450

Open almereyda opened 8 years ago

almereyda commented 8 years ago

As this issue tracker is most probably also the strategic discussion place for how to extend to other "redecentralisation platforms" (tm), I just ran into Stronglinks via a place where I also found gems like

the thing about content addressing is that it is only one thing - a form of eventual consistency

it can't give you real ordering - you can't know which of 2 things that happened first

one thing about content addresses is that they are strictly superior to UUIDs - like RSS

some people like UUIDs in their databases as primary keys

the good thing about content hashes as primary IDs is that they give good collisions - actual duplicates

strong consistency is really cool - they only technology out there now is the blockchain.

I hope we never need to be so strong.

But looking at the examples they feel strangely similar to our schemes. Understanding their connection may also help to reveal how to get Wiki browserified?

But what is https://hash-archive.org/ then?
