Show HN: Messages by the community, forever etched on the Blockchain
- ac2u 9y agoMight be a better idea to put a gif of the app in action on the page along with an explanation. Folks not familiar are just gonna click the back button when they're told they need to install a random plugin.
- Cyberdog 9y agoAs I did.
- hdhzy 9y agoCan't check it because of missing plugin but is it something like https://eternitywall.it/ https://eternitywall.it/?
- chrisz42 9y agosome explanation would definitely help.. Does anything with Blockchain or ETH go to top of HN nowadays?
- Cyberdog 9y agoApparently. What on Earth is a page consisting of nothing but a message telling me I need to install a browser plugin doing on the front page of HN in Current Year? Also, "The Blockchain." You know, that one single blockchain.
- thrillgore 9y agoI'm not installing a plugin to see your app, dude.
- nijaru 9y agoFor those wondering, metamask is a browser extension to interact with the ethereum network. I know a few of the developers. https://metamask.io/ https://metamask.io/
- _Marak_ 9y agoI see some users here negatively commenting on the fact that this requires installation of the "MetaMask" browser extension. If you haven't heard of MetaMask before, I'd highly recommend checking out their website. MetaMask is a bridge from the Ethereum network to the browser. It uses a library called "web3.js". FYI, you can also download and install the Brave browser, which now has MetaMask built-in by default. https://metamask.io/ https://metamask.io/ https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/ https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/ https://brave.com/ https://brave.com/
- CoryG89 9y agoHmm, I use Brave browser on my phone, but it's still complaining about not having MetaMask. I guess it's only included in the desktop version?
- matt_wulfeck 9y agoOh nice an ethereum browser extension. Yet another attack vector for people to hack your ether coins.
