The group is growing and we have an additional new member. Don’t forget to join us on Discord, or to ask the guild questions on our internal Stack Overflow.
My 501c ‘EZ’ application through LegalZoom apparently needs another submission of some kind. Fortunately I have yet to accept or receive a donation for it, nor would I have until I got the confirmation I expected. I’ll have to update my bio until I know for sure. Not so EZ.
Although Digital Defiance incorporated some two months ago, I had been under the impression that the LegalZoom plan I bought included the actual 501(c)(3) filing, but it did not. I filed that today at the cost of an additional $275 dollars.They now have 40 days to complete the process.
I had a wonderful intro call with HubSpot the other day. HubSpot is a company that I’ve worked with before as a software engineer at a previous employer of mine. HubSpot is a very neat and expensive tool, but fortunately they have pretty generous starter plans which hopefully will fill in the gaps as we …

I’ve now enabled GitHub Single Sign On for the Digital-Defiance organization in Github. This helps bridge Azure Active Directory to GitHub. You’ll sign in with your @digitaldefiance.org (or temporary @ddosseg.org for migration) email.
Digital Defiance has reached a crossroads. While our commitment to producing open-source software remains unwavering, sustaining the organization in its current form has become untenable. Despite the momentum behind flagship projects like BrightChain and Warp 12, we have not yet secured the external funding needed to cover our operational baseline. It costs roughly $1,000 annually…
BrightChain is not “just another chain”. In fact, it’s barely a blockchain at all. Digital ledger was almost an afterthought. It is non monetary and it is designed to offer a storage and identity revolution, not waste compute on mining- there’s none of that.If you’ve seen my posts before and skipped over because of the…
BrightChain/BrightDB is designed to replace the Mongo based stack you’re used to, and we have built extra components to make life extra easy if you’re a React developer. BrightDB can be run in a standalone cluster, but it is designed to be part of the BrightChain constellation. However, both modes are supported. You can run…
Years ago, the concept of the Owner Free Filesystem captured my curiosity. It became a long-term personal passion—a project I’ve iterated on, set aside, and returned to many times over the last decade. It has always been my personal “architectural sandbox.” When I went on medical leave for cancer many months ago, I found myself…
Digital Defiance is about defying mediocrity in code and standing up and providing value to the world in the form of open source and free speech which forms the backbone of modern society in a way that I don’t think most people truly comprehend. An incredible amount of infrastructure is riding on the work of…
