Wiki Transfer: Swartz #157

Open JeremyRand opened 7 years ago

JeremyRand commented 7 years ago

A wiki article on "Swartz" exists; we should move the good parts to the Jekyll site and burn the Mostly Unsourced Bullshit (TM).

The claim that Aaron originated the idea of using a blockchain to solve Zooko's Triangle is Mostly Unsourced Bullshit (TM); Appamatto's BitDNS proposal predates Aaron's Nakanames proposal. That said, I think there's widespread agreement that the swartz should be smallest unit of NMC, seeing as Aaron did independently come up with the idea, Aaron has done significant original work relating to Zooko's Triangle and naming systems, and (to me most importantly) Aaron was murdered for his activism while Appamatto was not. I recommend moving this to Jekyll, with the aforementioned correction.
