10 minutes??? Did Linux just won by literally doing its own thing?

lokinet is for data transfer, like a message from your phone to mine, not a currency. Thats why its odd it uses staking instead of any nodes.

yet they couldve done this with volunteer nodes or even their own, because not even the server knows the content, right?

shame their entire node system relies on cryptobros tech.

tor doesnt need currency to back it up. i2p doesnt need currency to back it up. why the hell lokinet does?

thank you for this explanation, it gave me the right perspective. I will check that channel out!

Now about that fab line, is that still protected under a secrecy license? What's stopping the Chinese from making their own fab line besides the ASML monopoly?

yeah, comment above really gave me a picture that 16nm is really small

yes, but fabricating a CPU on a small enough form factor is still an issue, afaik

thank you, now we just need to funds these people so they can work at it with more than a duct tape and a litre of coffee.

I'm not trying to create the new Core i7 here, just something that can run as well as a raspberry pi. My imagination that a nation/company need to start small and aim small, before exploring other more complex architecture.

Now that's an ISA, I understand that. But what about the hardware itself, isnt that the hard part? I'm using the viewpoint of the manufacturer, feasibility.

 

Dear community,

Let's just say I'm a country that wants to create my own CPU only using knowledge/tech/techniques that are in the open and nothing proprietary. When I said CPU, let's just say something that can run a C program, and eventually the linux kernel.

Is creating one out of publicly accessed knowledge and resources even possible, and how minuscule the tolerance need to be? Is there even a successful open CPU project out there?

I'm asking this because of an anxiety that I have when knowing only several companies in the world know how to create a CPU.
