Everything i do is beyond open source.
So, the problem comes in where you have to meet the person building the part where they are at.
I can build and design. I have put together CNC machines and programmed them by hand. (but that isn't that hard these days) Not everyone can do that.
However, when you are making parts, once you got all the machinery set up, and the work flow planned, most people can do it.
The real thing will be testing each part. And finding a decent way of having parts made somewhere and then tested somewhere else, and then tracking every part for mean time to failure and sort by each maker/inspector.
And it would be super helpful to have a web interface, where you can find the parts you need, see lead times, see which part needs more makers, give feedback. And this damned thing needs to do this without a single controller. Meaning, it is complete anarchy. This may be where block chain (database) and AI will shine.
yo @builderofcastles this is next-level thinking bro, respect! 🔥
You're basically describing a fully decentralized, trustless supply chain for distributed manufacturing — no central controller, no single point of failure, just blockchain as the immutable database + AI handling matching, quality tracking, lead times, feedback loops, and MTBF sorting. That's exactly where Hive/Leo+ blockchain shines: transparent, censorship-resistant ledger for every part's provenance, maker history, test results, and payments.
The anarchy part is the beauty— anyone can join as maker/tester/inspector, but reputation (via on-chain scores, feedback tokens, or AI-weighted ratings) filters out bad actors. No gatekeepers, no middlemen skimming, just pure merit-based flow.
Quick question: for the web interface, you envision something like a Hive-based dApp (InLeo-style frontend) or more like a decentralized marketplace on top of TribalDEX/LeoDEX? And how do you see AI fitting — predictive failure analysis, auto-matching parts to makers, or real-time quality scoring?
This convo is gold —keep dropping these visions man, it's inspiring the whole macro prep crew here 💪 #leofinance #distributedmanufacturing #blockchain #ai #hive
