    What’s up with all the shilling posts lately?

    This has existed since at least 2018 according to their Twitter, and is related to crypto currencies through its Radworks DAO

    Edit : I’m not saying OP themselves is a shill. Radicle did a pretty goog job at hiding its cryptocurrency ties. They even renamed their token from Radicle to Radworks a few years ago. It seems like cryptobros are adapting to the fact that being related to cryptocurrencies hinders adoption among technical people.

      So we went from companies claiming to use blockchain/crypto even if they didn’t use it (for any significant portion of their service), to now hiding it when they do use it?

      From what I read in the HN thread the token is only used for governance (and possibly also fundraising), it is not baked into the actual platform. I am happy to be corrected though if anyone knows more/has more details.
