  Seems like a vehicle to try to start another coin network, like Tea.xyz, and it's just burying the lede:

  See Drips on https://docs.radworks.org/#projects

  I'd first heard of Radicle from this post: https://blog.orhun.dev/open-source-funding-with-ratatui/

  How does Radicle handle the following situation?: A non-programmer user wants to submit a bug report. The user has previous experience with submitting bug reports on GitHub and they would not mind creating a new account to submit a bug report on Radicle. Can the user submit an issue on Radicle without running their own node?

  They keep advertising this thing on here, but they never explain what the big benefit is.

  Everyone can already self-host Gitea or Gitlab, and Git repos are super easy to clone, so what’s the point of all the peer to peer stuff?

  ie. what real world problem is it supposed to solve?

  Guys, I know xyz domains are cheap to get but I highly suggest to not use them for anything serious. The XYZ TLD has a very bad reputation and will lead to situations where your domain gets flagged, emails from the domain appears in the spam folder etc.

  Feels like a rebranding of git-ssb (git on Secure Scuttlebutt), but with a coin offering?!

  Anyways, a good introduction to git-ssb would be this document: https://github.com/hackergrrl/git-ssb-intro
