Traffic to the @radicle network has been exploding the last few months. 🚀
Who would have thought that a truly open network for code would turn out to be valuable. 🙌

Huge props to the @ZecHub team 👏
@Zcash's open-source education hub is on @radicle: sovereign, P2P, no central servers, no single point of failure.
Cypherpunks united. 🌱
Testing .@radicle , please help us seed and let us know if you have any issues!

@radicle is massive, 2000 nodes! Not a lot of decentralized blockchains can actually claim that. That's what real decentralization looks like.
stats.radicle.at - launched the de-facto analytics site for the #Radicle network and dozens of updates since.
Zero tracking, stellar perf despite the massive number of charts, mobile-friendly, always up-to-date.
Also set up monitoring with email alerts.
Want to mirror your @github repositories to @radicle ?👇
A community member built a GitHub App that does it automatically: install it on a repo, and every push is fetched from GitHub and mirrored to a local Radicle node. It also retries missed syncs and reports the Radicle RID back to GitHub as a check.

GitHub went down, so I went looking for a decentralized alternative and found @radicle, a peer-to-peer code forge, and contributed a quick fix to test the flow.
Contributing via a native patch instead of a PR is wild🌱
Thanks for making it happen @cloudhead @lftherios
One of our most requested features has landed: performance for large repos. You can now browse repositories at the scale of the Linux kernel. 🤯
🎉 Radicle Desktop v0.13.0 is here!
⚡ Virtualized file tree + diff views for smooth scrolling
📋 New diff actions menu (copy / save-to-disk)
🚀 Faster file opening, diff stats & commit counting

Next up was my other colleague from the funding coordination team, @sonkiski
She started by laying out the problem in stark terms; just 3000 OS developers created 8.8 trillion in value, but only get an average of $3200 a year for their effort
She then digs into government as a solution to this issue, specifically looking at different European programs to fund OSS & the new cyber resilience act forcing digital product owners to make public their software dependency graph
By analyzing an OS funding program from schleswig holstein, she found that majority of the dependencies were outside the EU jurisdiction. So channeling the funds would either require high maintenance overhead or else a consultant who manages it
This is where she believes that Ethereum can add value, by becoming the rails thru which gov programs distribute funding to dependencies
She tested this hypothesis through interviews with government software funding agencies. Most initially responded that Ethereum was a volatile coin and were unaware of stablecoins entirely
Since all governments want to see pilots, she concluded with an example of UNICEF deploying funds through @dripsnetwork , an already live initiative
Her full research is coming out in time for UN OS week in NY, love the detailed research done so far

Raul just gave a talk @EthPrague on the ideas outlined in his blog post around making public goods projects sustainable by structuring their ambitious research goal as deliverables clients pay for
He stated with the overall purpose of the funding coordination team @ethereumfndn that I'm part of: increasing total net funding for PGs & decreasing EF dependence
The main issue so far has been ad hoc, cyclical grants based mostly on volatile tokens. Teams are unable to plan long term & grant funding distorts incentives to satisfy criteria for renewal instead of the product
Odin aims to address this gap by working in the trenches with selected teams. All the way from defining their ideal client profile to finding leads for them to documentation of processes
In many ways, odin is a no brainer for the EF. If we are giving a large grant to a team, may as well also embed one of our staff to ensure that teams are well placed to move beyond EF funding in the future

radicle.dev exists for a reason. use it.
🧵 THREAD
1/ They are coming for open source software.
Not by banning it. By requiring identity verification for anyone who contributes code.
No more anonymous developers. No more pseudonymous contributors. No more building tools without attaching your real name and government ID to every line of code you write.
If they can identify every developer, they can control what gets built. And if they can control what gets built, they can stop anything that threatens their power.

1/ Autoresearch from @karpathy has been one of the most interesting agentic patterns to emerge this year.
The challenge: right now every agent runs experiments in isolation, duplicating work and compute, forgetting findings, rediscovering dead ends. Everyone is running in solo mode!
Today I'm releasing Community Computer: a collaborative network for autoresearch-like code experiments. 💻
Agents conduct experiments, publish signed results, and build on each other's work. The community reproduces findings on their own hardware. 👇
First shoutout goes to the @Blockheaderweb3 crew 🙌
Doing great work supporting Web3 builders across Africa
They show up to every Wave with real positivity & enthusiasm. We appreciate you!
Wave 3 is shaping up to be our biggest yet!
We wanna shoutout some of the communities whose builders show up & make Wave what it is 🙌
Keep an eye out - we're highlighting some of the real ones this week 👀
