In this week's episode of Kinode Office Hours, we discuss the distinct approach Kinode takes towards decentralized computing, emphasizing that Kinode is not a blockchain. We talk about the nuances of Kinode's hybrid architecture, integrating both on-chain and off-chain elements. And we explore the advantages of this hybrid model in addressing scalability and efficiency challenges that blockchain applications face. Key topics include the development environment, RPC endpoints, the unique off-chain functionalities Kinode offers, and the potential for creating rich applications beyond the limitations of traditional blockchain systems.Develop on Kinode: https://book.kinode.orgBasile: https://twitter.com/basileSportifDoria: https://twitter.com/m_e_doriaJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/guqKRnPup7

In this week's episode of Office Hours, we discuss hosted Kinodes and explore why software deployment is a crucial aspect of the tech landscape. Jonathan, the key developer behind our hosting framework, shares insights on its development and current testing phases. We cover the transition from traditional cloud services to decentralized computing, the importance of easy node deployment, and the unique advantages our hosting solution offers over bare metal setups and VPS.

This week, we discuss how Kinode simplifies blockchain application development by abstracting away infrastructure setup, allowing developers to focus on core application logic. We highlight Goldfinger's zk-Rollup template and chess game as an example, noting how Kinode's architecture facilitates better UX and seamless composition of on-chain logic and off-chain interactions in a multi-rollup future.

This week we discuss Barter, an LLM-powered NFT negotiator app built on Kinode. We discuss the app's functionality, creative "prompt hacking" possibilities, and broader implications. Barter allows users to set up a Telegram bot to automatically negotiate NFT sales based on customizable parameters. The discussion touches on the potential for AI to engage in financial transactions, the need for extensive testing around prompt injection risks, and the power of Kinode's permissionless and iterative development environment.LinksDevelop on Kinode: https://book.kinode.orgProject Lead Basile: https://twitter.com/basileSportifLead Dev Doria: https://twitter.com/m_e_doriaJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/guqKRnPup7

In this week's Kinode Office Hours, we're joined by Trent from Holium to discuss their new project MemeDeck, a platform for AI-powered meme generation and curation. The conversation explores the nuances of building decentralized applications, and how Kinode's modular architecture allows developers to choose which components should be centralized versus decentralized for optimal user experience and scalability. Trent shares insights into Meme Deck's architecture, which leverages Kinode for user data storage and identity while relying on centralized services for compute-intensive tasks like meme generation and search. The team also dives into Holium's vision for a decentralized AI infrastructure, where users can contribute their GPU power to train models and execute tasks, earning rewards in the process. Basile and Doria emphasize the importance of ergonomics and the "build another app" principle in designing developer-friendly systems that can compete with centralized platforms. Tune in for a fascinating discussion on the future of decentralized AI, the power of memes, and the role of Kinode in enabling a new wave of Web3 applications.Develop on Kinode: https://book.kinode.orgHolium Corp: https://twitter.com/holiumcorpMemeDeck: https://twitter.com/MemeDeckAppProject Lead Basile: https://twitter.com/basileSportifLead Dev Doria: https://twitter.com/m_e_doriaJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/guqKRnPup7

In this week's Kinode Office Hours, we dive into the philosophy and rationale behind Kinode's 0.6 release, a major milestone on the path to the highly-anticipated 1.0 version. We discuss the importance of achieving a stable, backwards-compatible API as early as possible in the development process. Drawing parallels to Ethereum's unwavering commitment to backwards compatibility, we highlight how this approach forces the team to build real applications from day one, ensuring that the system can actually support the intended use cases.
