Holochain and Solid working together - topologies of patch-passing sync networks

Holo had a coin issue as did MaidSafe. That doesn’t make either system like a Blockchain, and it is misleading to suggest this about Safe Network. There will be pros and cons of each system which we can look at more directly if we wish without making such comparisons.

As noted, I’m not up to date with Holochain. When I looked at it it was a federated system of servers, but you say now it is torrent like. It runs apps, but where - like Safe and Solid in the browser, or on the federated infrastructure as originally designed? I’m interested to understand, and to hear where you think the synergies are between Solid and Holochain.

You make some valid criticisims of Safe along much that’s misleading, incorrect or debatable. But rather than turn this into a discussion of Safe, let’s keep this topic to Solid/Holochain. But if you’d like to understand how Solid and Safe compliment each other I made a blog Why Solid on Safe? and I can point you to demos and a presentation explaining how this works. Maybe we can raise awareness among all three communities and find ways to get things working together or learn from each other.
