[PRE-ANN] NextWeb Coin: Decentralized Publishing, Messaging, Forums, Marketplace

[kev18489]

Would you like to see how the forums work?

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?

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.

[kev18489]

Yep, will hold off on the video/audio till a later date.

Excuse the redirection as Bitcointalk won't allow a direct link.

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

[kev18489]

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.

Part of the project roadmap involves post/message encryption. I'm thinking Open Whisper Systems Signal is the best choice.

Anyone with any views on this?

Thanks.

[kev18489]

I've integrated audio and video into the wallet - at least with alpha version.

[kev18489]

Audo/video will be included in beta.

[kev18489]

Audio and video done.
