Garden

This is an experiment in designing a distributed connected garden experience. It started as an implementation of a blockchain, but has moved on to be a bit more than that. There is no proof of work like a cryptocurrency, but plays with the idea of a distributed consensus-building system.

• Build a block chain implementation.
• Serialize the block chain to a store.
• Remove proof of work.
• Create a garden struct.
• Create a peer to peer network to share block chains.
• Visualize the garden using text art.
• Create a reconciliation algorithm for connecting gardens.
• Add the ability to plant things in the garden and watch them grow.
• Add more advanced ideas for interacting with the garden, and make them backwards compatible.
• Explore options on opening up the p2p network to beyond just your local network.
• Moderate garden connection requests.
• Explore real-time interactions
