Blockchain as a Version Control System

in #programming8 years ago

I've had this wild idea today, and I wonder if anyone is pursuing it already. Does it have merit?

If anarchists' dreams become true, and we'll have that worldwide virtual state governed by software, this software will be too important to keep it in a centralized repository. On the other hand, Github is pretty decentralized even today...

Anyway, if you know any such projects/developments, I'd love to hear about them!

Yeah, that's about what I have in mind! They use blockchain to store usernames rather than code, and torrents for the actual code, this probably makes them less bulletproof, but surely decentralized. Thanks for the link!

Thank you. Tweeted.
