Interesting work. Nostr doesn't need shitcoins though.
Hey man. This was not the correct response. It's early, I didn't shower yet. But after a 10 minute shower, I'm back to apologize. I'm sorry.
This is actually really cool. This is exactly the type of use cases I preached to the Ordinals community nearly two years ago.
I'll never use this, but I'm happy that you were able to build this. This demonstrates the openness of the protocol.
Keep building. We need innovative ideas.
Sorry again for the initial reaction.
Dont be a pussy Derek. Nein shitcoins.
Nah. This is the wrong take, man. I'm not going to use Shitcoins, but I appreciate that he can build this on Nostr. Plus, I truly believe that the purple pill helps the orange pill go down. The more Shitcoiners we have here, the more chances we have at helping them understand the differences and orange pilling them. Remember, the purple pill helps the orange pill go down.
Fuck that. Shitcoiners have caused more harm than good. The only reason I don’t have a problem with shitcoins proliferating to thousands of scam tokens is that it makes the contrast between Bitcoin and everything else even more clear. But there’s no reason to be “happy” about building tools that create false use cases for VC garbage like opensea.
i agree 👍 100%
Drop the blockchain component. Use relays, study the nostr protocol.
We don't need forever data on the blockchain. Not for every GM, every typo, and every drunken text.
We just need the last few months of data and then CERTAIN posts can be backed up to a blockchain if needed.
Also, regarding... No one has figured out how to destroy a blockchain, that is technically untrue. This type of data storage on a blockchain will lead to a core problem: it requires big servers to run a node and keep the system going.
Over time, it will centralise into just a few hands and then it only takes one of two things to destroy a blockchain:
1. Regulate/threaten/arrest the server maintainers. (Who will pick it back up if it costs too much to do it?)
2. Make it uneconomical to run a node, even for them and they will just shut it down.
Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it isn't going in that trajectory.
Finally, blockchains need tokens, and those tokens need to be monetised. I don't know one that doesn't do that. We don't need that for social media.
There are things that need saving on Blockchain but at the same time, there are things that you really don't want saving for more than the time taken to read it by the recipient. Always be thinking about who might be looking at it at some point in the future - they might not always be safe and on your side...
