Show HN: Peer-to-peer mini r/place with Proof of Work Hi HN, This is a site where users can submit content and the shortest SHA256 value of nonce+content among them will make the site display the content. Very basic, without a blockchain. It's a static site with WebRTC and peer-to-peer. Why? I wanted r/place (Reddit canvas where users collaborate on a pixel grid), but with proof of work. This is my progress so far. It's a WebRTC app with peer to peer connectivity that forwards the best hashed values to other users, which verify them, display them and pass them on. There are many many improvements to be done (especially I should probably use something like libp2p-gossipsub, otherwise scale is probably an issue) and more ideas to be implemented, and I'm sure there are bugs. But I didn't find any similar projects yet (except blockchains of course). Hope you like it! https://ift.tt/IWRo4VX January 10, 2024 at 06:15AM
