Title: [PRE-ANN] NextWeb Coin: Decentralized Publishing, Messaging, Forums, Marketplace
Post by: kev18489 on March 23, 2018, 08:56:20 PM
Decentralized Publishing | Decentralized Messaging | Decentralized Forums

Website: http://beam.to/nextwebcoin

NextWeb Coin


The first ever decentralized coin where users can publish articles, message each other and create forums;
all via the public blockchain and with no censorship.


Last year Techcrunch published an article: The future is a decentralized internet
Quote
In this new blockchain-based model, that value is actually given back to the users of the network, proportional to their contribution.
What this means is that what ultimately disrupts many of the major web services created in the last decade could be peer-to-peer protocols,
not companies. This would be similar to the effect that the torrent protocol had on media companies, but on a much larger scale.
The result would be twitter the protocol without Twitter the company, facebook without Facebook, uber without Uber.

Features

Article Publishing: Users can publish articles so other users can read them with a simple mouse click.

Search: Users can search for articles based on keywords and date ranges.

Tipping: Users can tip authors with a few mouse clicks (authors can get paid for publishing).

Forums:  Users can create public or private forums and invite other users.

Mining Algorithm:  Scrypt with 4 meg blocks and 50 coins per block.


Communicate with any-one any-where almost instantly without censorship.
Publish articles on any subject without censorship. Create forums to discuss any topic without censorship.

NextWeb Coin is the first step towards a decentralized internet.



No ICO and No premine!

How are you planning to distribute NextWeb Coin? Will it be mined?

When will you publish the source code and release the wallet?

Post by: kev18489 on March 25, 2018, 11:10:09 AM
Yes, 4 meg blocks and mine-able.

Most of the code for article publishing is done, 50% of the code for messaging/forums is done. But, I'll release a working version and then keep the updates coming.

@Lucica: Yes, it's global. The wallet (client) supports up to 40 languages; obviously including all popular languages.

And it bypasses the GFW (Great Firewall of China) - no censorship whatsoever.

The wallet also supports an anonymous marketplace. For example: fiverr.com allows members to offer their digital services  - SEO, logo/graphics/web design, video production, etc - to other members. However, fiverr.com take a significant portion of each transaction. With NextWeb Coin is there is no middle-man to take a cut.

But, there is one issue: illegal content.

Recently, child pornography links were found in the BTC blockchain, which caused some backlash.

How does a new censorship-free publishing platform deal with illegal content? I’m interested in your opinions.

Thanks.

Beyond decentralized publishing, messaging, forums and marketplace, there is a decentralized chat (p2p) planned too.

Do you want me to upload a screenshot of an article?

@bitChipper: no, it hasn't been launched yet. I've been testing it for a while.

Github code and tx timestamps will demonstrate no premine. I will reset the blockchain prior to launch.

The wallet also supports language translation.

https://ibb.co/n431n7  (all major languages covered)

So, articles in any language can be translated to another language instantly.

As mentioned, the wallet supports a marketplace as well as publishing. Think of fiverr.com without the middleman, likewise with ebay!!!

I'll upload a screen-shot later.

LBC Lbry credits deals with a similar issue but they have a naming system involved with their chain...that would be coin to look into for more information.

Otherwise i'm not sure there is really much you could do?

@bitChipper:

Thanks for your reply.

I've added an up/down voting system to the wallet. Once an article receives feedback below zero, by default, it won't be visible to users. So, users, including myself, will down-vote offensive/illegal content so it's not visible. But quality articles get up-voted.

With some experimentation, I think you can actually integrate blogs as well. But it requires a lot of coding... something for the long-term roadmap.

Take a look a this fiverr.com ad: https://www.fiverr.com/mborgelt/be-your-seo-expert?context=adv.cat_2.subcat_65&context_type=rating&is_pro=true&pckg_id=1&pos=1&ref_ctx_id=546144b5-c606-4928-82ff-508fea759893&seller_online=true&funnel=7efde319-3b2f-4d08-8c01-a6917beac0be

Fiverr.com take a very big cut of all transactions!

But, with NextWeb Coin, there is no middleman and freelancers keep all their earnings.

Not too difficult to create a similar ad on NextWeb Coin.

Hello, kev18489! The project's idea sounds wonderful!

Can you tell me which programming language the project is being written in?

Also, when approximately are you going to release the code on GitHub?


Title: Re: [PRE-ANN] NextWeb Coin: Decentralized Publishing, Messaging, Forums, Marketplace
Post by: kev18489 on March 27, 2018, 12:08:50 PM
It's ultimately a Litecoin derivative written in standard c++ with Qt.

Once it's officially launched, all code will be on Git.

As I mentioned yesterday, advertisements can be embedded in the blockchain very easily. As there is no censorship, I will look into options to eliminate ads for illegal goods/services.

Post by: artsus4 on March 28, 2018, 11:22:11 AM
kev18489, no offence, but it's very hard to understand what your application can do just by looking at screenshots. What is possible to see in the screenshots is a QT-application with some embedded HTML-pages.

I understand that you are focused on writing code now, but maybe you will have time for a screencast YouTube video (maybe even with some technial explanations)? But don't rush, you still need to be focused on development.

What I think would be good to see in a video:
  • money sending/receiving
  • article creation, reading, and, if it's possible, updating and removing
  • forum creation/removing, forum threads and posts CRUD
  • several words on how much graphical design freedom a user will have creating his own article/forum

Thanks! Also, if you need a Ukrainian translation of your app, maybe I can help then. As I understand, you don't need a Russian translation, because you're using Yandex API key in your app, am I right?


Title: Re: [PRE-ANN] NextWeb Coin: Decentralized Publishing, Messaging, Forums, Marketplace
Post by: kev18489 on March 28, 2018, 12:06:19 PM
Thanks for the reply. Yep, a screencast detailing the features is a must.

Money sending/receiving is standard; same as Bitcoin.
Article updating/removing is not possible because of blockchain immutability - it cannot be changed. Likewise with forums.
I need translations in all popular languages. Yandex is far from perfect.

The point of the screenshots is to demonstrate the enormous potential of embedding content in the blockchain with a simple user-interface.

Imagine, Fiverr without the middleman, ebay without the fees, censorship-free publishing, censorship-free forums, etc, etc.

What about embedding audio and video in the blockchain too? I'm experimenting with it, and it's not difficult to do.

Oh, I thought you were a Russian speaker, because I knew that Yandex were popular in ex-USSR republics, and in Turkey. This is why I falsely concluded you didn't need a Russian translation. In this case I can help with Russian too.

Video and audio embedding is cool: SoundCoud and YouTube without middlemen are valuable for society. Although, I think implementing of these features can be postponed until after a pre-alpha release.

the problem with this is the customers that will utilise your platform. they need to grasp first how to apply your services in their everyday lives. yes you are right, we are in the era of having a decentralised ecosystem everywhere but we are still in the stage of mass adoption. that's one thing that you need to address first. how to entice your customers for your niche

You're absolutey right! But, I think long term, the main driver will be price. No middlemen to take a cut and no advertising costs.
