Really, I’m wondering, what is the current status of content-centric networking? It’s been a really long time since I’ve heard of any updates on it.

It’s interesting that the Wikipedia article does not have any talk page.

Okay, so let’s find the GitHub project for it, as it is not linked from Wikipedia.

Navigating to the official CCN project, the first thing I see is that it has a redirect note to the modern project that replaced it.

Yet, looking at this “more modern” GitHub project, the GitHub project was last updated two years ago, in 2016. There are only 19 forks of this project. There you go, I think that says it all.

So, is there any information on the discontinuation of CCN? Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it. It’s just yet another one of those projects that comes in with a great publicity announcement, but slips away simply by being slowly forgotten.

Wow, this is really interesting. The title says it all: Over 1,000 cryptocurrencies are dead projects. I guess, you can say, perhaps this is one of the things that most sets cryptocurrency apart from typical fiat currency. Even more so, what sets cryptocurrency apart from paper “play money.” The fact that cryptocurrency, being complex software, can get stalled and much harder to pick up by someone else than currencies of simpler means.
