Kindelia: a minimal peer-to-peer computer that isn't a cryptocurrency

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kindelia is a peer-to-peer functional computer capable of hosting decentralized apps that stay up forever. Essentially, it is a minimalist redesign of Ethereum's idea, built upon type theoretic foundations. Differences include:

- There is **no native coin**. It is not a cryptocurrency. It is a cryptocomputer.

- It can host **functional apps** cheaply, thanks to the [HVM](https://github.com/kindelia/hvm) and its functional opcodes.

- It can host **real-time apps** cheaply, thanks to 1s blocks, reversible heaps and zero-cost SSTOREs.

- It is **extremely minimalist**. The Rust client has about 10k LOC, vs 600k+ LOC used by Go Ethereum.

- It is **maximally decentralized**, not just tech-wise. Political and economical centralization are addressed.

- It is **PoW-based**, forever. In fact, PoS isn't even possible, since there is no built-in currency.
