💡 Here’s a tech business idea with a proven concept, a large addressable market, and multiple advantages over the competition.

A decentralized version of DocuSign would be near-impossible on blockchain but easy to run on Holochain.

#HolochainDevPulse

"We’ve been testing the Holo hosted version of Elemental Chat for two weeks now, and so far everything is working well. Most messages arrive quickly, even as new participants join and post messages. On top of that we have released Holochain v0.0.102 (breaking changes)"

♓️Quick Update on Elemental Chat

As a prototype hApp there are inherent limitations to Elemental Chat. A few testers have bumped up against one of those limitations as we've approached 10,000 total messages. We did not optimize the app for this large number of messages being pulled down by all users. As we move to open it up to even more concurrent users, the Holo team is working on an enhancement that should be ready for dev testing later this week.

Progress continues on functionality for Holo applications, and simultaneously the Holochain devs continue with deep intergration testing for sharding and native support for countersigning to enable atomic state changes across user's source chains.

Holochain Dev Pulse 106 : Three More Holochain Releases

Now that the dev team has moved to weekly releases, there’s a lot to catch up on when U skip a week! The most recent Holochain releases have a number of bug fixes that improve performance and reliability, along with a new feature (post_commit) and a few breaking changes. All written about in Holochain Dev Pulse.

Holochain Dev Pulse 107 : Testing Sharding

The past few Holochain releases have focused on both increasing resilience and adding features for developers.

One task is particularly important, even though you’ll probably never see or experience it — and in fact, its invisibility will be the proof of its success. Right now, the core dev team is doing extensive sharding tests, tuning parameters, adjusting the algorithm, and testing again. Currently, they’re investigating how peers respond to dramatic changes in their neighbourhood, such as many neighbours leaving at once or adjusting their arcs of responsibility.

What they’re seeing is that nodes respond very quickly to changes in their neighbourhood — which is great in principle, but such rapid responses are causing ‘oscillations’ that take a while to calm down. It’s a bit like when you meet someone coming toward you in a hallway, then you both try to make way for each other but end up moving in the same direction. So you readjust, get in each other’s way again, and repeat a few more times before you figure it out. That’s what’s happening at the DHT level, and the dev team is working on strategies to dampen those oscillations and allow nodes to reach stability after disruptions.

As regular readers know, sharding is Holochain’s long-term plan for building scalable peer-to-peer networks. Sharding is already built into Holochain, but it’s currently disabled by default. This testing and improvement work is getting it ready for real-world use.

Now let’s dig into what’s happened in the last three Holochain releases by reading the full Devpulse written by Paul here :

Holochain Dev Pulse 108 - Thanks For Hammering Holochain

After a great test release of Elemental Chat, It's time for a recap. Are you wondering what the latest changelogs are for HC 0.0116 to 119? Or do you want to learn more about the decoupling of Holochain and HDK version numbers? We also take a look into a first-time hApp creation tutorial and Holochain's playground, now with real DHT data. Last but not least we added a video on Holochain in action regarding countersigning.
