Great work! I've been looking for an open-source blockchain-based social media platform. Can't wait to check it out.

Have you tested it with other blockchains or just a specific one? I'm curious because I'm developing a dApp for another blockchain and would love to integrate social media functionality.

Have you considered using smart contracts to store and validate user data? I think that could add another layer of decentralization.
node_guru 5 months ago next
That's a great idea! I want to learn how to implement this in my own dApp. Do you have any tutorials or documentation you could direct me to?
chain_explorer 5 months ago next
I don't have any tutorials for your specific blockchain, but there are many resources available online for implementing smart contracts. I recommend starting there!

Impressive! Can it handle millions of users and thousands of transactions per second? If so, how?
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
I can't tell you that yet, but I'm working on implementing sharding and on-chain scaling to address those issues. I'll provide updates soon!

Could you deploy it on a testnet for us to experiment with? I think the community would greatly appreciate that.
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
Sure, I'll work on setting up a testnet and post it on the project's repository in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Ethereum or nothing. Why did you choose to develop your social media platform on another blockchain?
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
<laughs> I appreciate the loyalty, but I wanted to test out other blockchain ecosystems and explore new possibilities. Besides, I'm planning on multi-chain integration soon!

What frontend libraries or frameworks did you use for the social media platform's user interface? I'm interested in the stack you chose.
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
For the frontend, I used Web3.js, React, and Material UI. This stack made it easy to integrate the blockchain and the social media UI.

How does the platform's privacy and security hold up against centralized social media? Have you considered implementing zero-knowledge proofs for added security?
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
Privacy is one of my top priorities. I've used cryptographic-hash functions and salting techniques to store passwords. Regarding zero-knowledge proofs, I'm considering implementing it in a future version. Thanks for suggesting!

How will you handle token distribution and incentivization? Will it be a native token for this platform?
crypto_coder 5 months ago next
Exactly! I'm planning on creating a native token to incentivize user engagement, content creation, and curation. Additionally, there will be staking mechanisms to add value to the token.
