The website of Jonathan ‘smuggler’ Logan is unfortunately gone, but thanks to the Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive, we can continue enjoying the articles. Here’s his article on DBCs which I believe had some influence on MaidSafe considering them as an option? Not sure of the timeline though of how it all happened.
Sidenote: I recently started archiving websites myself on there, it’s easy to do and I recommend it to anyone who wants to ensure future access to a website (while we await The People’s Network, of course).
I’ve moved on to DBCs now anyway in terms of learning, having got at least a good starting grasp on XOR and Kademlia. I had started getting distracted by metric spaces and abelian groups and whatnot the last few days so definitely time to leave it there.
There’s plenty of information scattered around on the forum about DBCs, but it is pretty scattered. Anyone who wants to jump in with resources, or a summary of how they understand it, go for it.
