What Hacker News says

7 sources
Web 3.0 utilizes crypto in order to build something more than just the cryptocurrencies built in the past. A blockchain is useful in a decentralized system where a shared ledger is required. There are several different types of projects that are branding themselves Web3 -- and I think they are all correct; Web3 is a totally new web built by the people and controlled by the people. > encompensate technologies like edge computing which are decentralising ownership of compute and data back to devices. I've been working on just that [1], and I think many other projects are as well. If you stop focusing on the 'value' of 'coins' in the market and, instead, narrow in on the merits of the underlying technology, I think you'll quickly find that all the building blocks are there to get to this decentralized ownership model we are all seeking so

In Ask HN: Is Web 3.0 just crypto or something more?
For federalist: git clone https://github.com/publiusfederalist/federalist cd federalist npm install npm start For publius, there are two options, I'll start with option 1, which is an immutable (no updates) model: git clone https://github.com/publiusfederalist/publius cd publius npm install webtorrent supercop.js ./key ./publius & Then you can either share that magnet link/browse that link, or take the further step to add it as a TXT record on the Handshake blockchain for a name. If you would like to do it mutably, there is an additional step: ./seed & Then, you can share the link created by this and create the TXT record with this one instead. When you update your blog, you can edit the files in the web3root folder, and then simply restart publius and seed.
