Register CRDT APIs (fixing this topic up, sorry Happybeing)

[Traktion]

@Traktion

Users add an entry to the above register, with a format like ‘name,my_private_app_register’ (or json for flexibility), where name is the ‘host’ (in clear net speak)

From early hacking, it looks like registers aren’t append only atm (I thought they were). So, it looks like anyone with write access can merge the tree and delete the history.

That makes having a public writable register more like a variable that anyone can change. Unless I’m missing something (quite possible at this stage).

EDIT:

Specifically, someone with write access can run client.get_register(address).write_merging_branches("replace all entries with this").

A topic for discussing the Autonomi Register CRDT API.

This post is a Wiki so please edit it to include useful links to documentation, demos, code etc.

Moving moved the posts in time order and your wiki OP was after them. I will fix this
hopefully
