nitter.net/common_hc/status/20969… We love when the community creates things like this! @common_hc has created an interactive explainer that doesn't just tell you how HoloFuel works — it shows you. Try it out!

The commercial landscape has shifted as dramatically as the threat landscape. The hosting economics we proposed in 2017 have since been borne out by an entire decentralised-compute sector. And we're now in front of a commercial opportunity significantly larger than the one we originally set out to address — and an infrastructure need the prevailing architecture can’t meet. We're transcending and including the original hosting vision, because what this technology can do turns out to be considerably more than what we first imagined. That vision was sound. The opportunity was real, and the architectural approach was right. It also barely scraped the surface of what was both possible– and now more necessary than ever. The 2017 paper half-saw this itself, noting that if HoloFuel were ever used as a more general-purpose currency, hosting would become a smaller part of the economy, making room for asset-backed currencies for energy, food, and transport. What was an aside then is the argument now.

As Holo and Holochain move into the next phase of work, community and social will be held by several members of the wider team. After more than five years of excellent service, @NathanLenae is stepping down as our Community & Social Media Lead.

To be clear: Telegram, X and Discord aren't going anywhere — and Telegram is getting more of our attention, not less. @NathanLenae stays on as a Telegram Admin.
