Holochain & Holo (https://holo.host)

Some significant features:

- Compensation (if desired)

- Community vetting of “hApps”

- Control of which hApps use your resources

- Distributed validation of all results, triggering “Warrants” against abusers

Letting random projects use your local resources has serious risks, which are mitigated via the novel agent-centric detection algorithms of Holochain and the Holo project.

Of course, you can just write a Holochain-based app and distribute it “by hand” to your own group of users’ resources - no Holo required.

In Beta now.



If you don't really understand what you're reading -- I'd recommend not downvoting. Instead, do a bit of research!

Just today, an article was published noting that, if AI becomes a significant proportion of modern productivity, then “When compute becomes the basic unit of labor, a currency to represent future potential compute is needed.”

I personally modelled just such a thing early in the evolution of the Holo project, to see how value-stabilization algorithms might affect a currency denominated in compute, bandwidth and storage:

Attempting to account for fraud, attacks, etc. is a significant concern in any system, but especially those involving running arbitrary attacker-controlled code on systems managing valuable resources.

So, by downvoting in ignorance, you are diminishing the value of this platform for those seeking the distilled wisdom it (formerly?) contained.
