https://blog.snodgrass.xyz/posts/grapevine/ Pointlander POSTS Grapevine Grapevine is a distributed protocol for replacing twitter like systems. It is composed of nodes that add a proof of work over a message and nonces from previous nodes, so the proof of works stack up as messages pass through nodes. Messages with a higher total cost have a higher probability of being forwarded to the next node. Individual nodes decide the cost of the proof of work they add to the message. This decision can be manually made, or with algorithms like page rank, word vectors, grammar checker, or some other algorithm. This is up to the node operator. In the case of page rank, the rank of the message could be determined relative to some other content such as the Bible. Holy messages would then get a high cost proof of work. A proof of work algorithm that is memory bound should be used. Messages should be limited in size such that they fit inside a single packet. This protocol could be implemented as a UDP based system. This protocol is a good idea because it is distributed and democratic. * 29 More Posts * Grapevine * Could Be Casimir Effect * Asymmetry in Time * Symmetry Breaking and Conservation * Atomic Computation * Atomic Halting * Generating Fact Based Articles * RIT Time Lapse * RIT SME Robots * On the Nature of God * Merging of Copenhagen and Everett * Democratic Capitalism * Everett Activation Function * Quantum Genetic Optimization * Quantum Mechanical Placebo Effect * Quantum Communication * Quantum Computing With the Human Brain * On Cold Fusion and Quantum Mechanics * Everything as a Quantum Neural Network * Synchronicity Network * Sync * Artemis Neural Network Scaling * Unify Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity With Computation * Scalable Models * CRDTs and Open Source * Noninvasive Neural Activation (or how to hack the human brain) * One Free Energy * Nash Consciousness * Smart Auto Merge * Mind Pod (c) 2021 Pointlander
