Here's a bit more information about the project if you're interested in learning more about Holochain. There's a new article series by blockchain expert Art Brock on that blog offering it as a blockchain alternative.
To implement this we’d have to abandon the cryptocoin token-centric approach for a crypto-accounting, user-centric approach. Luckily there’s a blockchain alternative called Holochain that makes this kind of thing pretty straightforward to build.
holo.host is the first step in helping to build a truly distributed hosting ecosystem for distributed apps so you could run a holochain version of steemit possibly.
