I think it's clear after reading your exchange with OC that you're not planning to take on Google search with Bloom. However what I think the commenter you're replying to is suggesting is that by calling yourself an open source 'Google' you're giving people the false impression that you are focused on search because when people think of Google the first thing they think of is search.

Perhaps you might consider something like free and open source 'Google Suite' or 'Google Apps' instead?

In a world where VSCode runs on electron is there even room for this discussion anymore?

How is "higher proof of work" defined in this context? Also, doesn't consensus of the majority of peers have any bearing on which is more authoritative? I.e. if all nodes except for your malicious node report a single chain, why would yours not be rejected?

Those seem like two separate problems to me. The oracle reliably reports to the blockchain while the blockchain ensures that the historical record is tamper-proof.

Please forgive my ignorance if I’m missing something obvious but in your PGP public key tampering example, wouldn’t this attack be ineffective against a blockchain that is stored in multiple peers. I.E your hashes wouldn’t match those of the peer copies of the blockchain?

I was wondering about how to get NGINX to play with IPFS. Now I have a better idea. Thanks for sharing!

It seems obvious that this should be developed, but to take it a step further it would be great if consumers could purchase something that gave them access to these plugins without needing to know how to setup OpenWRT. This will be challenging because most ISPs provide the router and firmware for the majority of their customers.

It seems the trend was that it was nice for makers, not so much for users.

I haven't migrated off of Firebase but this is something I've thought a lot about as I've selected Firebase for many of my client projects.

As far as I can tell there is no open-source alternative with feature parity that makes it easy to migrate away from Firebase. I'd be curious to hear about how people have done this.

Maybe you’re early. Can you PM me your MVP? This is a problem I will be encountering soon.
