HN discussionSeems like a vehicle to try to start another coin network, like Tea.xyz, and it's just burying the lede: See Drips on https://docs.radworks.org/#projects I'd first heard of Radicle from this post: https://blog.orhun.dev/open-source-funding-with-ratatui/

HN discussionThe announcement blog post ( https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-ratty/ ), which would've been a better submission URL, unsurprisingly says that TempleOS was the direct inspiration of the project.
