That would be amazing , a system that could do this and automatically handle all the large file storage via IPFS etc would be huge! Especially combined with the trust/reputation network and currency aspects of Steem *drools* ..

BTW github gave no notification or explanation that I can see so far, I only noticed because I was actively trying to merge some updates this morning..

I don't understand all this IT crypto stuff like most of you but I understand censorship and freedom and the theft of civil liberties as a human being and then as an activist being targeted.   Keep up the good work!

I hope you do not mind this here, but I had hoped this would bring you a timely laugh LOL --- https://steemit.com/funny/@barrydutton/meme-of-the-day-matthew-mcconaughey-on-the-eve-of-the-hardfork

Those who listen to bb hangouts would have heard me say this about 8 weeks ago!  Talk to xeroc about it.  I remember he was interested in the idea when I approached him about it because I felt he was the perfect one to consider launching it.

I already had a name for it -- "gitchain".  Initial distribution goes out to github accounts that leave github and move to gitchain along with all their personal work.  ;)

If you think about this...the fact is that most devs initially joining would be people interested in blockchain tech and the perfect demographic to both learn and document graphene codebase.  It fixes the achilles heel of bitshares and steem.

This surprised me too... Very disturbing

Thankyou Sir, the more copies the better :) 
I like that tagline too did you just think of that then ? 
Could be worth developing some branding around for promoting steemit to researchers..

I will clone too and see if my friend can host it on his site. Great idea

I upvoted because I respect your opinion, but I disagree completely and you clearly haven't researched a lot of the material if you believe what you're saying. I've been saying this stuff for at least 10 years, this isn't a recent "satanic panic" no matter how people will try to spin it.  

(Btw that link is broken, and I remember its content from years ago anyway - the whole site is kinda condescending misinformed bullshit tbh)

I'm definitely not endorsing violence, and I don't want to see the "us vs them" mentality come up more.  I see lots of emotional reactions on both sides, I'm going to do my best to not engage mostly - I hope people remember this is a touchy complicated issue that means different things to different people and getting sidetracked with arguments is pointless 99% of the time.

There's always the mute button.

Correlation though IS enough to permit scei tific inquiry. Most "pizzagaters" are doin this free of charge because they care about the subject so much. If our system was willing to investigate i stead of simply taking the word of the restaraunt owner as all required to refute these claims, then u wouldnt have to worry about pizzagaters because they would be watching netflix while those paid to look at this stuff dig in. Instead we are told not to even look? 

Remember though correlation != causation, it is rarely not enough to dig deeper. U see, because when something correlates over MULTIPLE attempts at the same study, it usually is considered worth looking at.

What I HEAR from otherwise intelligent and upstanding peoole is that they prefer to put "pizzagaters" in a place where its unpopular to even say "hey guys and gals all these thi gs add up to something...lets look and discuss it openly so we can find the truth."

Luke i must say this is a place where there is much more than you might think.

<blockquote>I'm curious, is Gizmodo part of the conspiracy as well?</blockquote>

I did hear once that Github was like a dungeon full of script kiddiez ... but that's not the same I guess. ;)

EDIT : Doh, I read "Github", you wrote Gizmodo and completely screwed up my joke. thanks a lot! =b ;)

Theres a few issues with that approach.. I don't actually work with the zip files normally, those are generated on the git repo's. I tried zipping up the files locally but I end up with different file hashes to what ends up being generated on the sites...

I do understand why this is important and I've been looking into a way to autogenerate index pages in html for each folder of evidence, I think it would be more suited to this sort of project to have those include the shasum's of each file and sign the index files instead... This way we'd have a unique checksum for every single file in the repo, without needing to sign everything with gpg individually (only the indexes with updated files)..

Great post, both the outright censorship and the self-censorship and group-think are getting out of control on social media already :o/
