Gleki, as far as I understood from the docs, those platforms are (or will be) open sourced.

Including the server side part? Ok, that's nice then.
 
This is not really the issue actually. Indeed, this (more-or-less) open source code is used as a foundation layer, acting ontop of a blockchain to replace "trusted" 3rd parties. This is the same principle with cryptocurrencies, but here instead of using blockchain transactions for money (replacing the bank as a trusted 3rd party), "smart contracts" and other (non-financial) "validated transactions" are used as a base for software (named "dApps"). Said otherwise, you will still have to finance the blockchain construction & validation, even if source code is open.

To never lose history of transactions? Decentralized servers? I doubt that's viable for us if we get a high load on Lojbanistan-hosted servers from many users not related to Lojban and it's hardly useful when we use such things within Lojbanistan only (why not have a simple database, which every Lojbanist can download)



( I hope my explanation is correct! )

Cheers,

Sukender

Nope.  It's just something I bumped into.  Similarly

Maybe one can just find an open source alternative to them?
