Scuttlebutt is a decentralised secure gossip platform. Ligesom andre sociale platforme kan du sende beskeder til dine venner og dele opslag på et feed. The cool thing is that the underlying technology here means that messages are passed directly between friends via a peer-to-peer (p2p) gossip protocol. As a decentralized social network, Scuttlebutt passes the data from friend to friend, without any central server. The data is localised and distributed so it also happens to work offline! Navnet, Scuttlebutt, kom fra hav-slang for sladder. Basically, like a watercooler on a ship, where sailors and pirates go have a yarn.
