Has anyone looked into PJON? I see a lot of work done in the direction of decentralization, but is all at a really high level, shouldnt we re-work the layer 2, 3 and 4 to be compatible with a decentralized structure before thinking about content ids? See https://github.com/gioblu/PJON



Some of this high level stuff is really important for thinking about stuff like data structures and "asynchronous ux design". These problems don't strictly depend on the exact underlying transport or discovery mechanisms, although there is definitely work to do there as well!

Thanks for sharing this interesting thing I'd never heard of!


Ciao macawfish absolutely :) the only issue is: until we don't rework the existing low level standards and we build our own private physical network infrastructure (each user takes care of his own router and provide others with connectivity for free without intermediation of any third-party or service provider) we will not have a truly "decentralized" network.
