RE: Git Steem - Decentralized Github using STEEM
It sounds like a great idea to move this to it's own developer focused Steem chain, but at the same time, that could limit the audience.
Without enough traction on this alternative chain, it could lead to malicious attacks, or simply the fact that most whales aren't actually developers, there's only a select few developer whales like Dan and James - without the same response as the real Steem, it might not take off.
I quite like the idea of centralising some things into the STEEM chain. The JSON metadata attached to an account has proven to be a great way to implement something like Namecoin, with name spoofing much lower due to the costs of making an account on the STEEM chain.
If we had separate chains for SteemDNS, "Gitit" etc. I would have to be maintaining my profile across 3 different chains, and those 3 chains would all need to be maintained individually (and with how fast the STEEM project moves, I think it's pretty difficult to maintain any fork which makes major changes without a lot of talented developers).
I'm sure there are people out there that actually could maintain such a fork. Unfortunately, that's not my area of expertise. Thank you for the input Fuzzy, maybe I'll join you this weeks hangout :)
wow man, i just found this post while looking up "hithub for steem" for my post where I mention microsoft's 7 billion dollar acquisition or github and I kind of remmebered SOMEONE had something like this a while ago, I think theres multiple steem github projects out there but anyway maybe theres just yours, so yeah anyway I just found this and WOW, I MUST ask....
Is it still working? *I see the website is stil up[... Is there a front end that shows all the projects people have uploaded or worked on here? Did anyone ever use this at all? I would love to help resurect this if it never took off, or if I did id love tpo learn more! Is it the same project or has it changed names? Is this oen still running? Any new plans for it since haha it HAS been like 2 years hahaha I don't expect you to still be runnning this proejct at all man :D I know it was more of a proof of opcncep[ty but it COULD be an amazing repository network wooooeee I love me some sourceforge backflashes hahahah
didn't souyrceforge ALSO get bought out? Haha I rememebr using that for open sopurce stuff
ahh the dream is to make steem a github that would be the great big central database for decentralized open source projects ahhhh it would be SOOO nice :D it is like Open Sorcery! Benjamin Franklin would be proud of us :D
Thank you and most welcome sir@gentlebot and ackza..
