In their #DataShards introduction, they mentioned reading the original Tahoe-LAFS paper. While I believe I have read it at some time in the past, I'd like to find it again.
Afterwards, I thought that they stayed too high-level. They mentioned some similar concepts, such as #IPFS and #Tahoe-LAFS, but it felt like talking to a sales person. I'd rather know a little more about how it works.
@kaniini@emacsen@cjd@lain@schmittlauch That's good news. Horray! Now we need to figure out where to coordinate this work... we have #datashards on freenode, but I'm getting the sense we need to do something more long-lived.
A few options: - The W3C Credentials CG might be interested in picking it up https://w3c-ccg.github.io/ and we could use their calls, mailing lists - We could maybe coordinate it on socialhub.activitypub.rocks once we have it up. Thoughts @how ? - Something else?
My demo with @cwebber for RWoT is ready! It's going to be a live demo with audience interaction)showing two Datashards implementations interacting (one in Racket, one in Python), talking over a network and transmitting URIs out of band.
In the demo we're able to show that you can upload, store and retrieve secret data seemlessly between two independent implementations.
Had a good conversation with @cwebber today. We discussed some #DataShards details, which has resulted in me scaling back some code I was writing (which I guess is a good thing?)
The nice thing about working with @cwebber is that even if I don't agree with them, it feels collaborative.
I still think we have a long ways to go with #DataShards before it's ready, but it's gonna be awesome.
