RE: STEMGeek's First Hackathon

in #stem5 years ago

@themarkymark I thought that I had already posted the following here in the comments but I guess the transaction did not broadcast completely so here it is again.

I dunno who (or if anyone) needs to see this but I had an idea a while back on the old blockchain to make a Linux distribution centered around utilizing the blockchain. In this case it would be a 'Hive Linux Live CD' with an installation option.

What I was originally thinking was to add all the various tools that make using the blockchain easy from an end user perspective and perhaps adding in a few things that would help developers to one degree or another. Tools like the Brave browser, Hivesigner for desktop, built-in shortcuts for Dapps and per-configured ICE SSB instances for dApps like PeakD, Hiveblocks, Hive-Engine, Blocktrades etcetera.

I did make a few Live CDs for the old blockchain and although they worked I rapidly realized that doing much of what I wanted to include in the distribution was beyond my skill level and I could not find the resources to learn to do the things that I wanted to do so I eventually stopped working on the project after the third version.

Anyway, I hope that someone finds the inspiration to do something like this and I think that it would be very helpful to new users if they could just 'spin up' a Linux distro and have all the tools for utilizing Hive at their fingertips.

Sort:  

It did, but Hivemind had an issue that needed to be addressed. So they were going to the blockchain but you couldn't see it. You can delete the dupe that doesn't have a comment on it.

Okay thanks I just found out about the Hivemind glitch. Thanks!
