Swarm Orange Summit Notes

I've written down some raw notes about the swarm conference in Ljubljana and the talks there - the swarm team did a really great job putting this event together!

Some highlights that I think are relevant for Status / Research:

• a big rewrite of swarm is nearly done and working well - consider it a different product almost - will need redeployment.
• PSS is really interesting from a messaging perspective as a potential replacement for Whisper.
• a network simulation framework has been developed, which can be used for P2P simulations and tests.
• ethergit - git storage on swarm - allows secure pushing through customizable blockchain contract.
• nucypher reencryption framework interesting for solving group chat.
• mutable resources on swarm - a way to negotiate updates to a single resource meaning that for example a chat log could be stored there, maybe.
• there was a talk about automating blockchain node deployments with redhat openshift.
• swap/swear/swindle framework really interesting - can be used to collect payments in desktop version from mobile users.
