New Instagram-like service running on the NEM blockchain

[nzminer]

The Japanese community have built this photo sharing site, much like how Instagram works, but with added benefits of registering your ownership on the blockchain, receiving tips and also the option of charging a fee for a third party to use your content.

Its still a work in progress and expect more improvements to be added soon with translation added for the Japanese comments.
I posted a couple of photos last night and my feed went crazy!
Its called Nemgraph, register on http://nemgraph.net.

So this is like copyrighting your picture on the internet using NEM blockchain?
With receiving tips, is it similar to how BAT tipping works? or investfeed (IFT)?
I am not a fan of instagram but seeing how popular it is among photo lovers, this may work for nemgraph.

I dont use instagram either.
I probably made a bad comparason to instagram, since they are more of a social network, where this is more for sharing photos and earning rewards from royalties or tips.

Quoted from nemgraph, it has this to say about their RiNG certification:

What is RiNG?
RiNG is an innovative feature which can prove that your post is your own photo by using NEM block chain. Posted images ,content & its author, even the date and time of posting will be recored on NEM chain forever.

So yes, its essentially a way to register your copyright/ownership and timestamp it on the blockchain.

people can tip you any amount of XEM tokens they wish.
Im surprised how many tips i already received in a short space of time.
Ive been told by others using it that railway photos are proving popular with the Japanese.

I searched but there is no android app for this project yet.

I'd like to be the first to actually share the NEMGRAPH project in my network so I can also receive tips from them but I can manage it better with an app on my phone as its what I usually hold most of the time while traveling. Hope to see on google play later on.

I would imagine they will have an app ready at some point.
Will check with them and ask.

Something I'm afraid of uploading photos on this project, because blockchain by itself makes it impossible to delete photos in the future and anyone can then follow my life on the Internet. I’m just wondering why come up with such projects and for whom they may be useful in the future.

The blockchain is not storing the photos, only ownership records. You can also have the option to delete your photos

Problems and a change of leadership and other negative events in NEM negatively affected its price and popularity. Perhaps this service will help NEM become popular again and begin to grow. It's great that the Japanese NEM community is so active and developing the project.

This is one of the oldest project in blockchain with communities in every country we know, there are just not much projects developed under them. Its probably not a very friendly platform for developers. I've read a thread here telling the team was in the brink of bankrupt but that might not be true. They will eventually regain if the the lose money during the last bullrun.

Oh looks very cool! They come faster than EOS with Voice platform.
By the way, you can store your photo directly to the NEM blockchain? Or how it is with the user's rights?

I think this is more similar to shutterstock, 123rf, etc or a photography / graphic design platform that provides photos and images from uploaders and gets paid when their work is downloaded. The difference is that this ownership is recorded into the blockchain and paid for with crypto, while the others are paid with usd $.

They were never bankrupt, the NEM foundation was simply applying for further funding from the core funds, since they were only originally funded for 2 years to begin with, and that time had passed.
The change of leadership has only been positive for NEM. Should also point out that the NEM foundation runs independent from the devs, but is there to assist development.

Regards being developer friendly, I can confirm NEM is very developer friendly and easy to build on, as its API driven and can be used by devs in the language they prefer to use.

Basically user rights and other details are stored there, not the photo itself. Much in the same way that steemit does not store any images you post there.

Yeah thats quite a good comparison.
It does allow users to comment on photos, "like" or upvote them and also let users follow you in much the same way as instagram, but without the whole social network side that instrgram does.

Yes, I uploaded my photo in an article I wrote on Steemit 2 years ago. And my photo of myself was forcibly removed by Steemit. All that was left in my article was a photo of the building. while the first photo that included my face was deleted. And that I think is to maintain the privacy of its users.

No matter the page they create to be like Instagram, Instagram has gone too far and large for them to be able to compete with them ,and all those extra features of blockchain that you mentioned, watch and see, I am sure that within the next 3 months, you will find it also on Instagram because mark is someone that does not give in easily to competitors, we can see how he bought Whatsaap and Instagram and any other giant social media that he could not buy over, he added all their features to its program, so they are just creating another application that will only be limited to their jurisdiction, because it would be difficult to convince someone who is already on Instagram to come over to their because of blockchain application. Well, we will see.

On the second of September they have hit 10,000 photos uploaded since they launched on the 22nd of August. Not bad!

I only wish success for them even though I never considered owning some NEM. God knows how much the crypto world needs a use case that the world might likely adopt - so much blockchain, so little users....yet.

Things are still very early days in the blockchain space.
Anyway, ive only been posting about two or 3 photos on there every few days and the activity on my feed is increasing heaps!
Lots of people are subscribing to me and liking my photos.
Interesting to watch.
