The fucking loss is miserable. Today the pigeons are falling, and the boss is not palletizing? Returning to zero is going on like this. . .

[WickedPigeon]

Time of the Pigeon!
I'm flocking in - at least with a few miners.
I am the super hero, I am...The Wicked Pigeon

(OK I'm a little carried away with this)

Not even a year since I jumped in.... Stick a fork in it, its done.

When Pigeoncoin's founding team stepped down, I proposed the idea to the Pigeoncoin community on discord of using masternodes to build a decentralized social network.  Practically immediately after this idea was proposed, there was noticeable interest in it from the community and a new lead developer was motivated to join the team.  Many remnants from the old team lined up behind the idea including the founder and creator of the x16s algorithm.  There hasn't been much progress since then, though, as things have been moving awfully slow.  It's that reason that I am creating what will be called the Flamingo Protocol, or the Flamingo Social Protocol.  It is my intention to have it implemented on Pigeoncoin blockchain and serve to fulfill the idea of a decentralized social network built atop masternodes.

If you have interest and passion for ideas that expand human freedom through decentralized cryptography, and want to obsolete Big Social with us, stop by and hang out: https://discord.gg/qnxmHcM

P.S. If you own any PGN you might also want to keep your finger on the pulse of the Flamingo Protocol discord.

OK Kool ...

So what do you seriously propose for PGN? All that has been stated earlier is simple enough, though you want to push forward with a coin that was in reference to the MGT CodeBase back when MGT was one of the hottest mining coins? It would take a lot more than just a push in the right direction as I see it, and I can see you know this also. What is it you really need to get going, and what is it that should be achieved by all this effort, that many many MANY other coins have already done?

Not an attack here. I am seriously intrigued by what you are aiming at here.

Tomorrow I will be publishing the introductory paper for the Flamingo Social Protocol and I will share the link in this thread, too.  Here's a snippet from the rough draft that I've been sharing:

The masternode protocol was chosen as the platform to build the flamingo protocol on top of.  It is an ideal candidate for a number of reasons but mainly because there is a need to encourage the nodes storing the encrypted social data for the end users to be available 24/7.  Masternode collateral is also used to provide simple currency services like performing coinjoins to provide some privacy of end-users of the currency.  A new function will be added to masternodes which will provide storage for social data on the network.  We will continue to refer to these as masternodes, but they will have noticeable differences for those accustomed to operating masternodes.

First, flamingo masternodes will have a relatively low coin count at 250,000 required to run a node.  For every masternode, there must be a 10GB partition dedicated to that node.  To put this into perspective, at the time of writing, the network would be able to serve a theoretical max of 60TB of storage and adding about 144GB to that total everyday.  The storage requirements may change depending on community and network demand, but the coin collateral amount should never be changed, especially to try and react to temporary economic factors.

Another difference from traditional masternodes is you can run as many masternodes on a single daemon as you are capable of with your hardware.  This drastically tips the scales of running a node in favor of the operator compared to traditional masternodes where each node will need a separate VPS.  Only a single daemon will be necessary for all of your Flamingo protocol masternodes.  There are legitimate concerns with other masternode networks having a concentration of masternodes on a single server, but our unique use case is not effected by them.  With our low collateral amount, we are encouraging operators to run multiple nodes on their masternode server.

And as I said there are numerous other questions and ideas being discussed on our new discord here: https://discord.gg/qnxmHcM

I am at a loss for what MGT codebase has to do with Pigeoncoin, so I have glossed over that part.  Sorry.

Joining Discord now ...

FYI - PGN copied the MGT CodeBase (which most coins do anyway - but there it is), and changed the name and slightly changed the Algo. That is it.

Will pop in Discord in a minute.

Thanks for your calm and kind response. Good luck in your project too. From what I saw when I was on that discord, I got to say that you, Nick Kliesen and neonnexus were in the few that raised the quality of discussions. What turned me off is some other members that were just spewing non-sense all day long as if they were waiting for PGN to get rich.

Mutual thanks.  It's hard to watch the PGN discord sometimes and it usually ends up resulting in conflict when you try to interact with them on the things you mentioned.  I do tremendously enjoy exploring the innovations that decentralized cryptography can bring to this use case.  It's a shame we are only a minority of that already small community.  Even if it's not implemented on Pigeoncoin, I do intend to keep pursuing the idea which is why I have named it the Flamingo Social Protocol.  I believe (at least) 2 'reps' are also developing a concept they are calling "datanodes".  It will be interesting to see the two ideas for comparison.

https://medium.com/@lissajous/flamingo-social-protocol-introduction-152b492827e1

I’d like to start this article off with a big thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto and the cypherpunk community for creating viable decentralized replacements for monolithic actors. Thank you. You have given us more efficient, open, and fair systems by leveraging decentralized cryptography. You are an inspiration to freedom activists everywhere and history will forever be changed by what you’ve built. It is a hope that the Flamingo protocol will provide a viable option for the public to replace the social media companies who leak our otherwise private data to the highest bidder as a business model.

The goal of this paper is to be an introduction to the Flamingo protocol, a decentralized social network protocol for anyone in the globe to use and interact with their friends and followers on. This paper will answer some of the initial questions about the protocol and it precedes a higher technical level white paper. Hopefully it inspires some questions for the reader, too, and we’d love to have you share them with us on our discord. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. If you have an interest or passion for ideas that expand human freedom, or you desire to make tools that guarantee privacy, and you want to work to make Big Social obsolete, stop by and hang out.

A Regiment of Flamingos
The masternode protocol was chosen as the platform to build the Flamingo protocol on top of. It is an ideal candidate for a number of reasons, but mainly because there is a need to encourage the nodes storing the social data to be available 24/7. Masternode collateral is used to provide simple currency services, like enabling coin-joins, to give some privacy to end-users of the currency. A new function will be added to masternodes which will provide storage for data on the network. We will continue to refer to these as masternodes, but they will have noticeable differences for those accustomed to operating masternodes.

First, with 250,000 collateral and 5000 coins mined every minute Flamingo masternodes will have a relatively low collateral count compared to most masternode blockchains. For every masternode, there must be a 10GB partition dedicated for storage by that node. To put this into perspective, at the time we anticipate the network will start ‘accepting users’ (around 420,000 blocks from launch), the network should be able to serve a theoretical max of 84 TB of storage while adding about 288 GB to that total everyday. The storage requirements may change depending on community and network demand, but the coin collateral amount should never be changed, especially to try and react to temporary economic factors.

Another difference from traditional masternodes is that you can run as many Flamingo masternodes on a single daemon as you are capable of with your hardware. Typically only a single daemon will be necessary for all of your Flamingo protocol masternodes. There are legitimate concerns with other masternode networks having a concentration of masternodes on a single server, but our unique use case is not affected by them. With our low collateral amount, we are encouraging many operators to run multiple nodes on their Flamingo masternode servers.

The specifications and modifications were inspired by our use case for masternodes, not to make a quick profit. Often we hear comments about how the ‘collateral is too low’ and ‘what about ROI??’. The “desired” specifications of many users are often what turns many other people off to masternodes as they lead to a short-lived pump and dumps. It’s our opinion that having responsible masternode specifications which are structured to support our use case will allow for organic creation of economic rewards in the event of meaningful adoption. In other words, a fairly incentivized and sustainable model.

A Social Network
API/RPC calls will be added to the reference client to manage social data which users control the keys for. Social data includes the content of your posts, but also who your friends or followers are, and your pseudonyms. As there will no doubt be a demand for it, data can also be public. Data will also come with an expiration date after which the data will be removed from the network.

It’s very likely that the most common user interface for social data will be a small, possibly client-side, java script front end, which will be maintained alongside the core client. Instead of trying to add the full set of social features to a clunky qt wallet which will see little use for actual social networking, the reference client will be unchanged and mostly used by developers, miners, traders, and masternode operators.

Since we are specifically modifying the masternode protocol to serve our use case, it makes sense to allow people who want to host their own content to also do so. To that end, we will allow a special kind of masternode to join the network who will likely still require some collateral, but it will be a negligible amount compared to the 250,000 tokens mentioned above. They also will not get paid from the block reward like masternodes that have this 250,000 token collateral, but there’s much more to come on this topic later. It’s important enough to mention for the scope of this article.

Social data that is not public will be encrypted on the client side and then uploaded to the network. The normal user would basically load their profile from a synced node, and then fetch the data for the freshest ‘timeline’ from the masternode network. How that data is stored on the masternode network is a hot topic in our discord, so please stop by if it piques your interest.

Data will need to be stored redundantly to accommodate masternodes activating/deactivating without the data being completely lost. The level of redundancy will be the result of an equation that divides total masternode network capacity by total data to be stored. The result will be a useful indicator to show how the network is handling the load and will likely be the motivation for any discussion about the storage requirements of masternodes.

They aren’t going to build it
The large social media corporations know exactly what they are doing with our data, and it’s likely that the general public won’t shift easily from the status quo. Success will only come if the general public lets it, but building a trust-less platform for social media where the user is in complete control of their privacy is worth the risk of time.
