P2P Storage and Computing For Organizations

This project aims to provide a foundation for decentralized organization governence system.

Usage

To run tests:

go test ./... -covermode=count

To build:

go build -o themachine cmd/themachine/main.go

To run:

./themachine

Notes:

• Payment (or burning) should be required for Genesis transactions to avoid spam.
• Payment should be required for Computation requests.
• A node would have its own keys plus keys provided by organizations of which it is a member
• With a Genesis transaction an organization is created.
• Organization assigns keys to already existing nodes.
• Transactions requires "targets" (addressed keys) to sign it as a prerequisite before saving.
• Transactions are of many types, which basically hold data like a file system.

TODOs:

Current state is just a draft. Many TODO candidates include:

• Complete syncronization process
• Switching to libp2p or devp2p for networking
• Switching to BLS for signatures to keep multi-signed transactions small in size
• Key distribution infrastructure for keys derived by organizations
• Consensus mechanism for determining valid transactions
• Forming optimal genesis and rule structures
• Introduce DHT and Sharding
• Computation infrastructure (sandbox, language, remote calls)
• Complete Web UIs
• Payment token for computation. Consider ERC-20
