Luke 24:6-7: "He is not here; he has risen!" Happy Easter Nostr frens :)

If data were only movies, we would have integrated the media player with the WebAssembly implementation of a browser. But data are generated by all kinds of apps. In other words, all apps are media players of some sort. And one can’t possibly hardcode all apps into a browser. The current compromise is to define data format standards, such as H264, DOC, PDF, that can be rendered by different vendors. This solution has two drawbacks: hindering innovation, and can’t enforce DRM rules. Standards take time and establishments always win. App vendors may ignore DRM altogether. Have you seen a DVD player that ignores DRM zoning requirements? If you can’t trust a hardware media player, you can’t trust a software one either. The only way out is for content creators to select a software app template they trust and scramble data into the app. Trust no one but yourself, not only for cryptos but also for your data, meaning you must trust THE app that renders your data. We trust BTC tokens because we trust the BTC code running on the blockchain. On the code execution environment front, two technologies have emerged and matured in the past five to ten years: WebAssembly and CPU Hypervisor, allowing software defined computers running on top of hardware computers, eg, Android running on Win11. The goal is one-app-one-computer to quarantine viruses. To avoid confusion with hardware computers, it is preferable to say one-app-one-compute, as in Elastic Cloud Compute, EC2 (to empower businesses). That’s why we call Personal Cloud Compute, PC2, to empower individuals. Apps have all flexibilities to adopt various user access control policies via the WebAssembly sandbox but are prohibited from interacting with the internet directly so that they can’t steal user data (ie, piracy). -Rong Chen

Mindblowing talk, old but still amazing! Reply a emoji if you dig it #[0] :)!

Carrier v2 tests succeeded :) #elastos #web3

GN Nostr family!

#[0] Feeds team is exploring DID+Damus for Nostr frontend, and then Hive vault for Nostr backend. Carrier2.0 maybe used for Nostr home relays, such as Umbrel at home. :0!

Demonstrate a use case where Web3 users can trade, sell, or rent movies and make money from the market instead of relying on VCs or crypto investors. If we look at platforms like Nostr, Mastodon, Lens, and Matrix, all of which talk about the decentralized network of relays/nodes, none of them address personal vaults and person-to-person communications. Similarly, NFT markets don't talk about DRM for off-chain data or person-to-person sales/rentals. We need to show that people can sell directly to one another without intermediaries. Since an individual's ability is limited, they may turn to Elacity as a bazaar market intermediary to help promote their goods. Unlike Netflix or YouTube, Web3 content owners may withdraw from an intermediary at any time. For example, you have 50 copies of a movie, list 30 of them on Elacity and 20 from your own PC2 vault directly. I hope Elacity and Trinity-tech's Carrier2.0 can demonstrate what the SmartWeb can do in Q2, 2023. However, I cannot predict for certain whether the SmartWeb will be successful after these two points are proven. Many people talk about "Web3 is to own data," but they haven't considered that owning data means there must be a place to store it. This is basic computer science. Another point to consider is that if apps can open an internet socket at will, they can steal user data in any way they like. For example, Google used to claim "do no evil," but this implied that they could be evil, but just don't do it. Why can't the world see this? I believe that many have known these two issues all along. You can't wake someone who pretends to be asleep. All I can say is that I am deeply disappointed by this stupid world.

Elastos DID supports Nostr relays! Awesome!!

First working version of Carrier v2 on github. Lets see if we can build it and get it up and running..

#Elastos

#Elastos #SmartWeb is all about giving users choices, rather than everything being decentralized. As a content distributor @Elacityofficial has the freedom to use a centralized #CDN for popular movies, and a decentralized service provider like @Filecoin to distribute geopolitical sensitive content and avoid compliance issues. Content owners may choose different distributors. I would prefer the personal choice of a Home NAS, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc. to host my own data as part of #Web3 Computer’s user-home-directory. This part does NOT have to be decentralized.

#[0] Beautifully written story "The Odyssey of Rong Chen" 👇 https://medium.com/@elastos_orchard/the-odyssey-of-rong-chen-5df2cd5e8b13 What are your thoughts on this?

The World Computer calls for an Operating System (OS) to facilitate users to own, trade and monetize their data. As #Web ecosystem users have to trust the Network OS, some people referred to it in 1997 as: The God Protocols | Satoshi Nakamoto Institute

The God Protocols | Satoshi Nakamoto Institute

Advancing and preserving bitcoin knowledge

The 1st figure literally showed that multiple users connected to the Cray supercomputers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at UIUC in the summer of 1987, which was the first client/server computing platform (and later morphed into the www Web in 1990). Why do you have to trust an OS? The simple answer is that you don’t have a choice while you enter passwords on a keyboard: the OS is the software behind the scene, FYI. If you don’t trust Windows, get a Mac. If you don’t trust either, you may build your own Linux from scratch. What does an OS do? 1) assigns each user a unique ID; 2) allows users to log in with their IDs and access their private data storage; 3) prevents other users from accessing your private storage; 4) provides public storage that all users can share, such as /bin, /tmp, /etc;

The Elastos Web3 Ecosystem: Forge your Digital Destiny #elastos

#NFT is simply a label on a digital asset, much like an icon is not the file itself. So why is the trading of #NFTs being referred to as the #Web3 economy? #NFT is the on-chain data representing ownership of an unique item. #DigitCapsule contains both on-chain & off-chain data.

#Nostr is not blockchain-based. It’s a decentralized protocol that connects content creators & consumers through parallel “relays”. Relays are just relays. To own data, you still need a #Web3 data vault for storage. To register a name, @w3c #DID consensus requires a blockchain. --Rong Chen
