I've glossed over the docs and said hello in the talk channel.

From what I understand it's a lot like "Turing-Complete Git", like Ethereum is for Bitcoin. There are many similarities to #ssb with regards to the content-addressed append-only logs architecture.

I don't fully understand the namespacing thing, but I think it resembles how authority is modeled in the git-verse like "this is linus' linux HEAD" or something like that. But then again I'm just waving around keywords, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

@chc4 seems to know a lot more, and has done good internet sparring in this thread with regards to how the founders' politics seep (or not) into the software and network's design.
