Abstract

Distributed consensus and Blockchains are popular among the cryptocurrencies where no one except the coins users, owns the data and transactions. No different to open source repositories, where the data belongs to the users. In this work it is presented a manner of having a repository for software packages in a Blockchain with distributed consensus, supported by the idea of the also demonstrated proof-of-download.

Keywords
