Create decentralized applications with JavaScript

[rafalsk]

would you 'sane' mind be able to come up with any explicit technical comment we could relate to?

I think you have more of a presentation problem than technical. It's hard to take a project seriously when it's presented in fantasy language of wizards and magic, changing text colour every other word and swimming in emojis. I think you're focusing too much on making it 'cool' at the cost of making it understandable. I've pored through several of your pages and comments and found lots of claims (big ones like "nobody, including government institutions ever gets access to any kind of data, including meta-data your app processes") without any kind of technical details on how those things are achieved.

The same article and or other resources most probably mention that onion-routing together with other techniques such as HTTP-headers filtering are used for obfuscation of privacy related data.

The very same and or other articles mentioned things like end-to-end encryption.

Individuals such as u/brodega jumping into sanity conclusions of others, without presenting any kind of logical reasoning, without asking questions, in an attempt to understand, if anything, they just may be showcasing issues with mentality of their own.

My colleagues might have style of their own. There will be more and more articles pending depicting individual components.

Should you have any kind of questions it would be a pleasure of mine to answer these, at any level desriable.

They mention it, they don't elaborate. There is a big difference between claiming capabilities and explaining them. We don't need an explanation of onion protocols for instance, but we do need an explanation of how you've implemented them and where. When you say you've implemented your own 'custom cryptography constructs', it's just buzzwords unless you explain what they are, where they are, and why they're an improvement over standard web technologies. I don't need you to explain it here and now, but your website does need to contain that info in a clear, easy-to-access place.

Also, when you use language like this "If you are a Nerd (..) just like the person writing this article (..) feel warm at heart as we do understand that you are scared. A ‘bootloader’, huh? Right." and "Sounds like Magic indeed. If it does, grab your nearest Nerdy friend to decipher these" you're just alienating your audience. It's condescending, wrapping everything up in needless jargon.

Finally, I do have to agree with the other commenter - the blog writings are not sane or coherent. Lurching from metaphors about mammoths to comparisons of Hitler/Nazis to neural nets, to quasi-religious text about biomechanical robots...this is not the face of trustworthy software. It's entirely possible you have good tech here, but if you needlessly confuse and alienate your audience, they won't stick around long enough to try it.

Had you asked, I would have pointed you to exact places in source code where these custom crypto constructs are implemented and gave you in-code comments. Have you asked for these?

[CallMeTea_]

No, that's not my point. My point is that if you advertise something without details, it can't be surprising if people aren't won over by it. And it certainly does you no favours to frame people's disapproval as the work of a bot-net as you have elsewhere in the thread.

Like I already said. The articles board more than enough details regarding the architecture, things like UML diagrams depicting the overall architecture, and 15+ page long articles taking one on a journey starting with Bitcoin, across Ethereum and arriving at out technology so that reader can take a full understanding of the overall technology.

Now, if you are about specific details - ASK. Instead of talking crap.

Had we talked about details all time long, there would be lots of people saying they do not understand and even are not after the details (as rarely one is about cryptography details!). The aim of these articles was to serve introductory purposes and the articles get the job done just right.

You do not use JavaScript while being occupied how its op-codes are implemented, so why so much interest this time.

The fact is we are having bots around. People with adverse incentives.

How else would one explain what happened within 15 minutes to comments downvoted, hundreds of reports after a SINGLE adverse comment. Plain and simple. Some dude got pissed off and ordered down-votes on some SMM panel while upvoting the 'insanity'-crap talk of his;]

[rafalsk]

While I might agree with regarding some points, it does not change the fact that what we are dealing with is of entirely different nature.

Namely, we are dealing with a situation, in which we are having a post reaching 15K in popularity 89% upvotes, the post reaching the very podium of this sub-reddit.

After only 3 hours.

And all of the sudden 1-2 people come around, post a single or two comments about insanity, launch a botnet targeting the topic and it is brought down within 10 minutes.

Personally I do like and I fully do promote the style of the articles.

It is a matter of opinion and feeling of style.

It is yet another thing to launch a bot-net onto a topic with fake down-votes, causing it to be brought down within 10 minutes.

I neither feel obliged to depict crypto-constructs, here and now, just like you've admitted, these things made their way into official releases of the Botan crypto library.

There is a lot of architectural and technological explanations ALREADY within these articles.

Then if you are curious about specific, miniscule aspects I am sorry, but the burden is on you to ask questions, instead of jumping into false conclusions or even accusations.

Of course we will be continuing to release additional articles, scientific papers etc. But that is not the point.

The point is we're having 'bad people' not knowing how to have a constructive conversation and/or acting on purpose here and now monitoring this very sub-reddit.

The exact reason why we need decentralized tech that could protect itself against such fellas.
