Title: BlockChain + DHT
Post by: bitmeat on June 12, 2014, 03:11:25 am

Not sure if I was considered one of the "ramblers" in the DACs v.s. Firms discussion. I'm passionate about the idea of using a thin BlockChain + DHT to store the data.

It will be interesting to see how well this project here solves it:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/612530753/gitchain

It is very similar to my concept (and it's nothing new, technically GIT already is a blockchain since it uses hashes for all the commits).

Once there is a decentralized GIT hosting, there could be many interesting solutions. For example the source code for a DAC could live on the chain itself!!! So even if GitHub gets shutdown, or a project gets booted off GitHub, it will continue to live in the cloud.

Ah yeah... Well, once you have the DNS up and running it could also store references to gitchain, right?

Optionally of course

Then we could have a tool in the BitShares toolkit "download-DAC <name>"

FYI: 

Afair twister is combining blockchain with dht ... dht for messages and blockchain for registering names
