Looks like past events had deep technical talks on libp2p's DHT (https://p2p.paris/en/talks/libp2p-dht/ https://p2p.paris/en/talks/libp2p-dht/), and a novel gossip based pubsub protocol (https://p2p.paris/en/talks/gossipub/ https://p2p.paris/en/talks/gossipub/). Pretending that there is zero overlap between "crypto and blockchain bullshit" and p2p work is detrimental to everyone involved, there is serious p2p research and work being done both from crypto projects and from more traditional projects.
- api 2y agoMost people around here hate crypto because it’s so riddled with scams and vaporware.

- ikmckenz 2y agoI have nothing to do with this event, but what do you gain from misrepresenting this? They also gave: 30 mins on the state of the libp2p project 30 mins on ipfs network measurements 1hr on optimizing libp2p for mobile 30 mins on an end-to-end encrypted mesh network chat service 20 mins on an ipfs DHT performance improvement 30 mins on the QUIC transport protocol 30 mins on hole punching in libp2p 30 mins on libp2p in the browser, which included discussion on WebRTC which you explicitly said was the kind of thing that wouldn't be covered (https://p2p.paris/en/talks/libp2p-browsers-future/ https://p2p.paris/en/talks/libp2p-browsers-future/) Yes there's also some crypto stuff there (both crypto-currency stuff like bitcoin security, but also general cryptography stuff like zk proofs and post-quantum cryptography), but I struggle to understand why people react so negatively to legitimately interesting research because it happens to be coming from the cryptocurrency space.
