I proposed this project to improve on Radicle’s p2p model by using Tor for universal, straightforward seeding of git repos.
Original discussion thread - https://bounties.monero.social/posts/207/
One of the project’s git repos linked in that thread - https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.network/rad:z2ydYmUCJvDfNFTVTpEbQmm55EPt1/history
Project website - https://cradicle.xyz/
The dev who took the project also expanded it into a project to reimplement Radicle in C.
Since I’m not a coder and I don’t have any git repos of my own, I can only test from the viewpoint of an average layman using the GUI app to seed repos.
It’s impossible for me to properly gauge how the project is progressing without engagement from coders who try using it for their git repos.
If the project doesn’t currently interest you, your suggestions on how to start getting users on board would also be welcome.
using Tor for universal, straightforward seeding of git repos.
That doesn’t sound right. Maybe design/implementation details would make it less nonsensical.
C implementation of radicle
Now this just sounds like a bad joke. Especially with the tor project itself spending all this effort to give us arti as a readily usable embeddable rust crate.
But why? Radicle supports TOR and I2P (see changelog).
IMO. you’ll get more interest if you build it in a more future-proof language like Rust, Unison, Zig, Racket, FStar, or compile to WASM.
