The tech that is proposed in the article sounds a lot like Nano's block lattice, where everyone has their own blockchain.
You could even potentially use it to run this social network by just increasing transaction data size.
- TimJRobinson 9y agoYes! After reading the Nano whitepaper a few months ago I realized it could be a protocol for a general, free, scaleable social network. I've been prototyping and designing it for the past few months. You don't need to increase the transaction data size, just make the transactions pointers to the data which lives somewhere else like IPFS or S3, keep the chains small. However a week ago I discovered scuttlebutt.nz who also had the same idea, about a year before me, and already had a working useable app. So I've been using it and will probably be hacking on this for a while and see how I could incorporate some of the ideas I came up with prototyping my own network.
- wellboy 9y agoHa very cool. Though who pays for storing the data then?
