In that article there isn't anything that actually is helped by the blockchain part of what they are talking about with the possible exception of monetisation, but the monetisation schemes currently in place in blockchains seem to just devolve into rent-seeking, so I don't want to support that.

Right. Signing via PGP. Kinda makes more sense. Though, BTW, I'm actually UNCLEAR why any signing is needed? For WHAT? Mark S. wrote: > > It sounds more like you want PGP/GPG style digital signing, which would > have less overhead than bitcoin. > -- You received this message because you are s

That's very nice. It would be great if something like this could be adopted for mark-up. The current TW5 mark-up doesn't match any wiki or markdown standard -- not even that of TWC! I'm always having to rummage through tiddlywiki.com for formatting info. I really expected that TW5 would have WY

Hi everybody, I like to have two buttons at the right side of every tiddler. This two buttons should float (or is the right word "scroll"?) only in the height-range of the tiddler. This is for the comfort when the tiddler ist very long. I've attached a picture for my idea. Is there a simple sol

It sounds more like you want PGP/GPG style digital signing, which would have less overhead than bitcoin. After you've created a tiddler, you could click on an icon to sign it which would put a hash in a field, perhaps "signature". In the context of something like Twederation, when TW's are impo

It would be good for them to grasp transclusion better. Though some of the Pandoc supported formats hold links to urls that are towards that. In any case, I'm pointing at conversion FROM other formats TO TW to ease migration. TW's flex as already a enough of a super-set markup that its likely
