New Holochain Blog Post - RedGrid Carbon Neutral By 2030

#RedGrid is using #Holochain tech to tackle one of the biggest challenges of the climate crisis -- how to coordinate our efforts.

Paul's latest piece goes in depth on how RedGrid
and how #IOEN works on Holochain.

Holochain Dev Pulse 106 : Three More Holochain Releases

Now that the dev team has moved to weekly releases, there’s a lot to catch up on when U skip a week! The most recent Holochain releases have a number of bug fixes that improve performance and reliability, along with a new feature (post_commit) and a few breaking changes. All written about in Holochain Dev Pulse.

Holochain Dev Pulse 107 : Testing Sharding

The past few Holochain releases have focused on both increasing resilience and adding features for developers.

One task is particularly important, even though you’ll probably never see or experience it — and in fact, its invisibility will be the proof of its success. Right now, the core dev team is doing extensive sharding tests, tuning parameters, adjusting the algorithm, and testing again. Currently, they’re investigating how peers respond to dramatic changes in their neighbourhood, such as many neighbours leaving at once or adjusting their arcs of responsibility.

What they’re seeing is that nodes respond very quickly to changes in their neighbourhood — which is great in principle, but such rapid responses are causing ‘oscillations’ that take a while to calm down. It’s a bit like when you meet someone coming toward you in a hallway, then you both try to make way for each other but end up moving in the same direction. So you readjust, get in each other’s way again, and repeat a few more times before you figure it out. That’s what’s happening at the DHT level, and the dev team is working on strategies to dampen those oscillations and allow nodes to reach stability after disruptions.

As regular readers know, sharding is Holochain’s long-term plan for building scalable peer-to-peer networks. Sharding is already built into Holochain, but it’s currently disabled by default. This testing and improvement work is getting it ready for real-world use.

Now let’s dig into what’s happened in the last three Holochain releases by reading the full Devpulse written by Paul here :

Holochain Dev Pulse 108 - Thanks For Hammering Holochain

After a great test release of Elemental Chat, It's time for a recap. Are you wondering what the latest changelogs are for HC 0.0116 to 119? Or do you want to learn more about the decoupling of Holochain and HDK version numbers? We also take a look into a first-time hApp creation tutorial and Holochain's playground, now with real DHT data. Last but not least we added a video on Holochain in action regarding countersigning.

FOSDEM 22

We’re once again co-hosting the DWeb room with Fluence at #FOSDEM, Europe’s largest open-source conference, and we are excited to have the Holochain community presenting some excellent sessions this year!

In addition to sessions related to Holochain and Fluence, our co-host, there are a lot of other exciting-looking projects on the schedule. Looking forward to seeing you there!

See Web3 Infrastructure devroom schedule: https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/web3_infrastructure/

Have you read Moxie Marlinspike’s article about his first impressions of #Web 3?

Many of us in the #Holochain community and team have read it and wonder if you have any questions for us about it.

Join Holochain’s sessions this weekend Feb 5-6!

Excited to learn more about #Web3 and peer-to-peer, we’ve got some cool projects scheduled this weekend at #FOSDEM. Check out all #Holochain talks and make sure to join the conversations with the project teams.

🕒Room Schedule: https://buff.ly/3IvlDSu

✅ Introduction to Neighbourhoods 🕒Feb 5, 5PM (CET) / 4PM (UTC)

Neighbourhoods is a design philosophy for Holochain hApps that helps groups intentionally create and share their specific cultural patterns.

➡️ FOSDEM talk: https://buff.ly/3fZdWYt
➡️ Website: https://buff.ly/3lQieVx
▶️ Ecosystem Sessions https://buff.ly/3Ik8ye
▶️ Animated explainer video: https://buff.ly/3tKnZst


✅ Scaffold a Holochain App in 10 minutes 🕒Feb 5, 3PM (CET) / 2PM (UTC)
Using the new Holochain Rapid Application Development tools, we'll scaffold a Holochain application from scratch, generating all the necessary boilerplate, code and types for your specific use case.

You'll learn how to use the RAD tools yourself, and what are the next steps you can follow to start developing a hApp.

➡️ GitHub: http://trustgraph.net/



✅ Collaborative group self-awareness with Where 🕒Feb 6, 4PM (CET) / 3PM (UTC)

“Where” is a Holochain hApp that equips teams with a tool to create maps and lets team members self-locate on those maps. But it also suggests possibilities for much, much more.

Web3, Entangled - Holochain: a marlinspike to undo the knots

Is Holochain 'Web3'?

If that means putting a price tag on all of our online activities, no.

But if it means taking shared ownership of our online lives, then yes, maybe Holochain is 'Web3'.
