    The thing is that the purpose of such a system is to run away from enshitificacion.

    If they are so crypto adjacent is like a enshitificacion speedrun.

    If I’m going to stay in a platform that just care for the money I might as well stay in corpo platforms. I’m not going to the trouble of changing platform and using new systems to keep getting being used so others can enrich.

    Git itself doesn’t have crypto around it. This shouldn’t have either.

    And this is not even against crypto as a concept, which is fine by me. It’s against using crypto as a scam to get a quick buck out of people who doesn’t know better.

      If I’m going to stay in a platform that just care for the money

      Where are you getting this information from? How is radicle just caring about money?

      I’m not going to the trouble of changing platform and using new systems to keep getting being used so others can enrich.

      Who is getting rich and how?

        Answer to both questions is the crypto scheme they have created. There is no logical explanation to it. We have seen it happen countless times before.

        They could ask for crypto donations and that would be totally fine. But they are building a crypto scheme. And crypto schemes are build as pyramid schemes to get money out of vulnerable people. Anyone who make such a thing is not trustable.

            Same devs of the Rad token which is said by themselves that will be used woth the protocol. You cannot disconnect devs of RAD and devs of radicle because they are the same people. It’s like saying that YouTube have nothing to do with google.

                https://www.gemini.com/es-LA/cryptopedia/what-is-radicle-crypto-github-alternative-rad-token

                Do tou think they made a crypto scam with almost the same name just for funsies?

                Better by their own words: https://docs.radworks.org/community/rad-token

                $RAD is the native token of the Radworks Network, used as the primary means to coordinate all actors, govern the treasury, and (later this year will) reward infrastructure providers on top of the Radicle network.

                  The Gemini.com article looks like AI slop to me, honestly.

                  In lieu of traditional client-server architecture, Radicle Link uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) as the core of its P2P network, a distributed ledger technology similar to blockchain that excels in speed and scalability.

                  DAGs are a distributed ledger? Wat?

                  Also if you actually looked at the code of radicle, you wouldn’t find rad tokens, erc-20, or whatever else. If you further looked at the protocols you’d see that they aren’t using a blockchain. Repository ownership is not handled by smart contracts either - it’s all public key cryptography, which (again) is not crypto in the sense you’re talking about.

                  To be fair, the article is old and describing radicle version 2. You can find the code here, but I can’t find ERC tokens or anything like that in there, which further makes me think the authors of the article are very confused, AI, or misrepresenting the project on purpose. Of course, it’s possible that all references to crypto were removed from the archive, but it would be good to provide a link to that if you found it.

                  $RAD is the native token of the Radworks Network, used as the primary means to coordinate all actors, govern the treasury, and (later this year will) reward infrastructure providers on top of the Radicle network.

                  This I didn’t know of. But I’m curious how that will be done. It is not proof of crypto being within the radicle protocol or codebase (because it isn’t, I looked - maybe I missed it, but I’d like proof thereof). It might be put in there in the future but I’m pretty sure they know it would piss off people to do that.

                  My guess is that theyll do it like IPFS, which I don’t think has crypto with the protocol but has filecoin on top to reward people who pin things in IPFS. But IPFS users can completely ignore filecoin and aren’t required to use it.

                    As I said it’s not that crypto is inside de protocol. Is that the parent company (which is just the same people) made a crypto to be used with the protocol. On top of it. Which takes trust away from me. If they want donations ask for donations. If they want to provide a paid service then do a paid service.

                    But having a crypto they want to move around feels dishonest to me. People will be pumping the crypto thinking they are making an investment, thinking they are going to earn money or participate in some sort of circular economy but they will loose it, all. And the owners will get all their fiat money as soon as they can. I have seen it happen countless times.

                    If they do that from the beginning, what will they be doing in the future if the project take off? I’d better not find out.
