Comment Holochain (Score 1) 115

This really looks like the Holo project. Holo proposes a more human, agent centric internet — where you control your personal data and chose how the applications work. With Holo you share your computer's spare capacity running peer-to-peer apps. When people use the apps you host you get rewarded in cryptocurrency by the apps's creator. Holo is based on a technology called Holochain, a next generation platform for decentralized apps that is more scalable, exponentially faster and far more energy efficient and 10000x cheaper than Blockchain, not using global consensus and not based on tokens, rather on a mutual currency. You can join the crowdfunding campaign (already more than 200% funded by now) by purchasing a Holo port, a preconfigured silent linux box that sits on your desk and earns you criptocurrency (the open source software will also runs on any machine).

Submission + - Moviegoing hits 22-year low. Why? Bad sequels, rising ticket prices and streamin (latimes.com) 1

An anonymous reader writes: Hollywood is celebrating the end of 2017 with astronomical sales from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," which is on track to soon exceed $1 billion in global ticket sales and eventually become the biggest movie of the year. But that won't be enough to write a happy storyline for the industry.

Although movie ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada are expected to dip just below last year's record of $11.38 billion, the number of tickets sold is projected to drop 4% to 1.26 billion — the lowest level since 1995, according to preliminary estimates from studio executives.

People are also turned off by political preaching and condescension from entertainers. Just ask the NFL and ESPN.
