During the discussion about the Ordering FIP, we practically identified three different network state models, and I think we should be aware of them. Each one has its pros and cons, and makes some use cases simpler and some harder.
- Global-state oriented (current model, most probably future model too)
- User-state oriented
- App-state oriented
Depending on how current and future apps want to use the network, each model offers advantages and disadvantages.
For example, for a twitter-like app, think Warpcast and Supercast, the global-state oriented model is the best fit.
If you're interested in knowing what only specific users do and not the whole network, a user-state model would be a better fit.
And if you mostly care about what users do within a special-purpose app (@kmacb.eth's d33m.com comes to mind, or maybe a channel-specific app like @purple has been discussing for some time) then an app-specific model seems better. 5 replies
