Thurs@NODE: Holochain: The Human-Centered Internet

Do you feel like the web is pulling you in a thousand different directions every day? Most of us do. We are pinged constantly by applications whose business models depend upon getting us addicted to their services. This is an internet that stalks us rather than serves us, and it is a side-effect of the way the web works today.  Holochain is a new way of building and running truly peer-to-peer applications that don't require web servers because they operate entirely on the devices of the users themselves, and put people, rather than companies, in control.  As the internet begins to revolve around people instead of companies, what will that make possible?Matthew Schutte, Director of Communications, Holo.hostMatthew works on Holochain, a new way of building and running applications that puts people in control of their digital lives. Holochain enables a new pattern of communication that empowers individuals, fosters trust and helps build thriving communities. Inspired by the design patterns of natural living systems, Holochain applications are faster, more scalable and 10,000 times cheaper than blockchain approaches.About Node:Come to San Francisco’s newest private members club and gain insider knowledge on the exploding blockchain and crypto industry and enjoy networking with like-minded people.Doors open at 7:00pm; talk starts at 8.00pm.Drinks will be provided and additional wine can be enjoyed at Maritime below Node.Become a member of Node: Node membership provides you with a place to hang out, work, create, and communicate.
