Title: If twitter was really cool! Post by: remotemass on December 20, 2013, 06:57:34 AM Twitter has about 100 thousand tweets a minute; so about a million per new block on the bitcoin network.
If twitter was really cool it would do this: It would charge $0.01, a cent of a dollar, for every tweet and give $10,000 every block to random twitter user that posted a tweet during that blocks, using the 'hash random pick' formula: Hash MOD Entries. What do you reckon? How cool would that be? Twitter would have no profits and maybe it could be an implicit rule without formal gambling rules involved/declared. Could it still be called gambling?

Twitter is really cool. And its not going to start charging people to tweet. I don't think you have thought this through at all. Title: Re: If twitter was really cool!

I was thinking about something similiar. The problem is that even if it is only $0.01 per tweet which everybody has, maybe 95% of people would be cool with that, but other 5% would be mad and start screaming about human rights aso. Then other people will join. And people leaving from twitter aso. It is not about the money, but principle.If twitter was really cool it would do this: It would charge $0.01, a cent of a dollar, for every tweet and give $10,000 every block to random twitter user that posted a tweet during that blocks, using the 'hash random pick' formula: Hash MOD Entries.

People need to have a feeling that basic usage of software, website whatever is free and if I think I need something more I can pay for it. But it is my decision to pay for it - not being forced.Title: Re: If twitter was really cool! Post by: empoweoqwj on December 20, 2013, 11:59:32 AM It could charge for each extra character past 120.

Title: Re: If twitter was really cool! Post by: Frost000 on December 20, 2013, 04:49:15 PM Twitter is a platform for communication. Not a lottery. Exactly. And I'm fairly sure that if they were to ever start charging people to tweet (which, rest assured they'll never do), its user base would fall dramatically to the point where they wouldn't even make enough with advertising (which they do now). With their recent IPO, all I see Twitter doing is up their advertising revenue by having more ad tweets. Title: Re: If twitter was really cool!

I have them all the time ;) Title: Re: If twitter was really cool!
