Since Microsoft is more censorship
Microsoft took the platform in June of 2018 and this is not the first time that there has been censorship. Developers in Iran, Syria, and Crimea have been blocked, in order to make use of GitHub.
And this can be a problem for the programmers and developers that work with cryptocurrency. Pretty much every piece of code in the cryptowereld find it on GitHub. Some of the developers will see this as a problem, and they think they are already thinking about an alternative.
“It only took a couple of months before, Microsoft is in the GitHub culture, and the openness is beautiful. What a shame,” tweet to Andreas Antonopoulos, author of Mastering Bitcoin.

Microsoft is developing bitcoin interfere with
Antonopoulos also pointed out that, in the underlying protocol, also known as git is decentralized, which means that you can’t stop with a single push of a button. But what was the “platform for cooperation” was, and is still on GitHub. To be the place where everyone else is discussing which bits of code need to be deployed, and which applications are loaded at the same time to get a new code.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if the Git at a given time, bitcoin developers of the platform in antwerp,” he added.
A spokesman for the GitHub response, which is sometimes required in order to deal with the government in order to make sure that Git can continue to operate. The spokesman said the.co.: “even Though we may not always agree with the laws of the universe, we may be content to block, and if we have a valid request by a public official to receive. This way our users will be in that area of jurisdiction have access to GitHub to collaborate and to work with it and software projects.
What other options are open to bitcoin?
Last year, tweette, the Dutch developer, As van der Laan, all of that is bitcoin, a other home to look. This is in response to the acquisition of Git by Microsoft.
However, if bitcoin and the whole thing needs to be moved, where to, then?”
One option is to use GitHub’s main competitor, GitLab. It is an open-source project, and it has the tools you need to self host the repository, which teams have full control and can monitor their own projects as well.
A good example that should be followed
Some of the cryptocurrency’s been moved. The previous year, moved, Other-cryptocurrency already in GitLab.
“Git over the past few years, as a kind of backbone for an open-source project. This is ironic, given that GitHub itself is closed source and centralized,” said David Vorick, the chief executive of the Sia, at that time, in a blog post. “GitLab on the other hand, are much more attuned to the true open source philosophy.
As an alternative, there is a version of the Bitcoin network is available in the Tor, which is managed by van der Laan himself. Tor is a network for anonymous communication, and will be accessible via the Tor browser.
Decentralization is the fight worth it
The actions by Microsoft on GitHub, you should see it as a teaching moment: to everyone who is working on a decentralized platform, it should prevent them from becoming dependent on a centralized party.
And that is the fight worth it.
