Bitcoin powered free service: an anonymous, uncensorable and eternal message boa

"Bitcoin powered free service: an anonymous, uncensorable and eternal message board." New Bitcoin powered free service offering an anonymous, uncensorable, decentralised and eternal (almost) message post board. I've just finished most of the development work http://lockedpost.com/ and would love to see what the people of Hacker News think! Gladly welcome suggestions, comments or questions. Thanks

It's down for upgrade at the moment. What prevents immutable spam?

  Back up! - nothing! it's completely open. You can only make a post when there are no other pending messages waiting to be confirmed in the Bitcoin Blockchain.

So its not possible to remove a message?
- IMAKESTUFFOKAY 10y ago
  It's not possible to remove a message embedded within the Bitcoin Blockchain. Locked Post assigns a sequential number to the beginning of every embedded message ("L1,Message" - sequence number "1" for example) - this acts as a easy way to verify that the data has not been modified or removed (by allowing anyone to check the sequence hasn't broken and that the web-site content matches what is stored in the Blockchain [The web-site provides links to various services that allow you to view Bitcoin transactions and therefore the embedded data within.]). You can see every message ever posted here: https://bitaps.com/1K69sEhUwNgiva3xzPnToxS89dzydU7nPm https://bitaps.com/1K69sEhUwNgiva3xzPnToxS89dzydU7nPm I will also eventually release code to easily verify the web-site.
