all right hello everybody my name is
Shawn founder of storage and we're
talking today about decentralizing
github so how many people raise your
hand you get up it's raised me right
okay great great tool great platform now
imagine one day you wake up you have a
nice cup of tea or coffee and you log in
and your account has been banned get
help
you can't access any of your
repositories you can't download any of
your code it's this all gone and there's
nothing you can do this is not a
hypothetical situation for some people
in 2019 people in Korea Syria and Iran
developers just half their accounts pop
as you know github got acquired by
Microsoft I got some some lawyers got
bored they figure what are we gonna do
today we can't work you know
commercially with these countries due to
sanction will cause and they interpret
that okay let's ban all these users in
these countries so such a great not that
great
there's other examples of this I 2014
Russia and I posted something on get out
of that Russian and lack so biggest
family site
obviously they brought back but for a
week or so people worked at developers
weren't able to access give up we have
many other examples 2015-16 2017 2018
2019 where for whatever reason or
whatever problem happen get help goes
down for hours today so this sounds like
the familiar problem in the industry
that we're trying to deal with
centralization right and you know github
just has a lot of control over the spot
form that we use and we really depend on
to build out these next gen applications
and that's nothing
again there's a lot of concerns by many
people like intimidated that you know
Microsoft will do what they did with
LinkedIn and one day you will wake up
and we have paid Walter to get out so I
think we really this is a problem like
first this happens to somebody else but
it can happen to any of us and so we
need to act now
we need to do something about this we
need to decentralize get not so how
should we go about that what I think we
should go about it this way since not
all of you all in its entire entirety
download all the repositories and sick
it in a decentralized platform it
decentralized and slow so that it get up
goes down or they decide to our
maternity blog accounts and accounts at
least you can get your cup and take it
somewhere else I get so I know this
process last couple of months we found
there's a cool product called get get
archive
or which essentially catches all the
public metadata and actions that people
probably do whenever so from there you
can kind of get a list of pretty much
any with anyone who's been active on
github since 2015 and then you can
hopefully get huh baby I to get all the
public repositories and we can download
them and to maybe centralized data
stored about quantum storage and then we
can make this accessible to many people
to get in the case that people lose
access to their repositories on github
or by Walkman or github goes down we can
get access to that's the same so the
manimals like get backup or all you do
is you put in your genome username you
hit sync and you will back it up and
swear it on storage and then make that
accessible both through our platform and
then we're also looking at making it
accessible through things like IP
address so this website has never been
still I get to do so this day is way
today today we got only about 300,000
repositories we're storing about 30
terabytes of it
and we're talking about 50,000 users so
this is just how much day we've
dominated pretty much this week so the
pace at which we're accelerating and
that money game is growing at an
increasing pace overall yup and these
two million users download already in
the year so I encourage you to jump on
your phone or your laptop then try it
out just all you have to do is when
you're getting up username and it sink
and we'll back that up for you next time
github decides to do something like man
users arbitrarily and not give them
access to their code at least now we
have a backup option so thanks for
listening
[Applause]
