what is the biggest roadblock ?

None. It just takes a while to build.

We have git repo hosting instances on start9, forget the program's name

That sounds like a roadblock.

It's more than just a little ironic that the software that runs the open source decentralized Bitcoin network lives on a completely centralized closed source platform.

I know it's hard to believe but we're almost there 🙏. @Colby Serpa

A roadblock is something that stops progress. Taking a while to recreate (or even improve-upon) a mature enterprise system to a quality and service level that inspires confidence in professional software developers used to using GitLab or GitHub, is just normal dev work. This is not going to be done by one person, speaking to no one, hiding in his basement. This is an effort from an entire group of different teams and persons, coordinating, forking, and discussing, over the course of years. So long as we see steady progress and deliveries, it's fine.

For some reason this url redirects to localhost:4000/nostr-based-github

Githubstr 🤣🤣🤣

Seeing how so very few oss projects move away from Github to Gitea, Forgejo and the likes, I wonder what would make them move to ~Gitstr~? The thing that keeps projects on Github is the same thing that keeps normies on Twitter and Facebook, the network effect and discoverability. Not hosting the code on Github comes with a huge disadvantage that almost nobody wants to pay. I mean I see it myself with my projects on Codeberg: almost nobody cares, no issues, no prs, no interactions. People could even log in with their Github account, but they don't even try to. Another psychological thing is that contributors wanna show off their work on their Github profiles "Contribution activity" feed. It's a popularity contest after all and the contributions count is a social score, important for finding future jobs. TLDR. Most people will not move away from Github, when ~Gitstr~ becomes a real thing, instead they will move away when Microsoft immensely fucks it up, when popular oss devs move away and when the hacks wanna follow the group to the next grass fields. But surely they will not move to ~Gitstr~, they will move to ~Bluesky Code Hub~ 🙄

GutHub? GitHub!

I've been saying this for a long time too. Let's remember that Github belongs to Microsoft. We must support #Nostr with a truly independent and decentralized alternative so that it fulfills its purpose.

so... how?

"needn't permission by that man?"

We need GutHub. nevent1qqswdq5q4qrvhea09eq57tpsj7l9s28mvm7hednmz6tzw80q8fthtgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgzfxyfr

People didn't take up this bounty?

Git is already decentralized. Github provides 3 valuable services on top 1. Coalesce list of ALL projects. 2. Cross project collaboration, issues, pull requests etc. 3. Full text search on 1 & 2.

I don't work.

If it doesn't work, please laugh at 9.110.

very difficult to take that to another platform

bluesky has it give it to them

Earlier this year, I fell victim to a devastating cryptocurrency scam that cost me $79,000 worth of Dogecoin (DOGE). I met a scammer through a Telegram investment group—a woman named “Clara” who posed as an experienced crypto broker. She shared impressive-looking client testimonials and promised a 35% return in just seven days. Her website looked professional, and despite my initial doubts, I eventually transferred 500,000 DOGE, worth about $79,000 at the time. For the first week, everything looked fine—the trading platform showed my balance growing steadily. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told I needed to pay a $12,000 “withdrawal fee.” Clara reassured me this was standard and fully refundable, so I paid it. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. More unexpected charges followed: a tax clearance fee, a network fee, a security deposit. Before I knew it, I had lost an additional $8,000. I was crushed—emotionally and financially. My savings were gone, and I blamed myself for ignoring the red flags. A friend eventually suggested I reach out to JBEE SPY TEAM RECOVERY, a company known for helping scam victims recover stolen cryptocurrency. Although I was skeptical, I was also desperate. I contacted them and provided every detail I could: wallet addresses, transaction history, chat logs—everything. Their team got to work right away. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they traced the stolen DOGE, identified the scammer’s wallet, and worked with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they were moved any further. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and reassured. After days of relentles s effort, JBEE SYP TEAM RECOVERY successfully recovered the majority of my stolen Dogecoin. Their professionalism, expertise, and transparency turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of redemption. If you’ve been a victim of crypto fraud, I highly recommend contacting them: Email conleyjbeespy606@gmail.com Telegram +44 7456 058620 you can also contact on instagram

now it's 3 times its value

let's make a deal @jack

i bet you

if you respond to me, BTC will go up to 200K and in that case, i’ll do it with ₿10

as i said i need ₿25 to deploy ₿ Bitcoin Bank - AGI nevent1qqsqj7qtsedt4f6yq3szqurdsemj73ual8rqn92yq4mrq78s4hhm6agxvdd2t

i’m raising 2M USD at the time i set the value to 25 BTC bc that was the conversion

but if we move BTC to 200K i will do it with ₿10

let's come together

we all win you, me, and bitcoin

for the greater good

and all holders win

no one will take better care of your bitcoin than me i take care of it as if it were my own. bc it is

Having just read the Blossom announcement a few minutes ago, is it possible that can be an effective base for your envisioned solution?

When the dusts settles and the leaves finally fall, no one will be able to stop it. This launch is only the beginning.

He didn't say decentralized alternative to git. He said Github. So yes, presumably this alternative should serve all of those features, but in a decentralized way.

The bounty link is broken... Is there a better link?

Radicle: the sovereign forge

Sovereign code infrastructure.

does this work?

seems obvious

https://nostrgit.org/ Looked like a decent attempt to replicate Github. Hard to tell the two apart actually. Not very functional though

1 billion sats or approximately 1 million USD is still up for grabs to replace GitHub...er GutHub.

What's the point of posting a bounty when the site doesn't even work

Maybe the instigators can stop arguing the toss about op_return and get working on this. Keep @Jameson Lopp and his pals focused.

We kinda need you to publish the spec as this link is broken...

Another interesting use case for decentralization! View quoted note →

you need any help you can contact jbee spy team on InstaG regarding recovering your stolen account
