mango

I'm curious if you (or anyone) had a chance to use Mango (https://github.com/axic/mango) before it was abandoned?

https://github.com/axic/mango#get-started is some uh-huh Prerequisites: an Ethereum node an IPFS node git and node.js environment Also, doesn't Ethereum require gas for any operation it does, meaning `git push` would quite literally cost money? --- https://app.radicle.xyz/seeds/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z3trNYnLW... seems like a much more reasonable peer-to-peer setup, although my mental model of peer-to-peer setups is they're fine until they stop becoming popular and then it's just you on your island waiting for some obscure project's seeder to come back online

I remember some years ago when npm was having a lot of stability issues because the guy just was not being given adequate time/resources from Joyent or whatever, I made a post on r/node saying now was the time for a fully decentralized package registry. The post if I remember was mostly ignored, but received a few downvotes and maybe a couple of negative comments. Based on that, it seems that what's preventing decentralization from taking off is ignorance and apathy. A day or two later the guy announced npm, Inc. if I remember. There are actually a lot more developers that have accepted a federated services worldview than a peer-based fully distributed one. But there are package registry projects along both of those lines. https://github.com/orbs-network/decentralized-npm https://blog.aragon.one/using-apm-to-replace-npm-and-other-c... ht

Here is a decentralized and distributed backend for git called Mango. Basically takes advantage of Ethereum and P2P content addressable networks. https://github.com/axic/mango [Edit]: Here is another using the BitTorrent protocol - https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent

There are three distributed approaches mentioned here https://github.com/axic/mango/issues/6

There was a project, mango [0], that was very similar to this. In addition to using IPFS for storage, it used ethereum for things like permissions control. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a while, but perhaps this will bring some attention to it? [0] - https://github.com/axic/mango

What are your thoughts on this project: https://github.com/axic/mango Looks like it's abandoned, but it's a start at using ETH and IPFS.

Looks to be a combination of Git, Ethereum, and IPFS. Interestingly, this was posted to HN 8 times in 2016, and of those 8 posts, only 1 received a comment: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Mango:%20Git%20completely%20de... This is the Git repo. Hasn't had much action since 2016: https://github.com/axic/mango There are a few issues where the MS acquisition of GitHub is a topic: https://github.com/axic/mango/issues/5 https://github.com/axic/mango/issues/4 Potential future project possibly leveraging EOS blockchain: http://www.source.lol/

I know this is a joke, but have you checked out mango? https://github.com/axic/mango

It exist! Not a whitepaper, but at least a Medium article: https://medium.com/@alexberegszaszi/mango-git-completely-dec.... Ethereum + IPFS/Swarm as backend for Git. Source code is currently unavailable as it is hosted on ... drum roll ... GitHub: https://github.com/axic/mango.
