Drop source then I will maybe run it

You can contact me through Telegram, by writing to me inside the social network, or by email if that is easier for you.
I think we could potentially cooperate, especially if you are a programmer as well. In any case, you are welcome to test the node and explore how it works.
The source code will be available on the website soon.

What do you think about the idea of a decentralized social network on its own blockchain?

Slowest blockchain that I have ever seen && you would need a faster blocktime to send messages one would think

What do you think about the idea of a decentralized social network on its own blockchain?

Slowest blockchain that I have ever seen && you would need a faster blocktime to send messages one would think

The goal of this blockchain is not to compete with centralized social networks on speed. If someone only needs fast messages, centralized platforms already exist.

The goal of Opstan is to build a working model of a decentralized social network, where anyone can write freely without being banned, deleted, or censored by a central authority.

Yes, in the future development can improve message speed and user experience. But right now the most important things are decentralization, stability, and security.

Opstan works without a central server or owner. The social network is secured and maintained only by miners, just like a real Proof-of-Work blockchain.

If we simply increase the number of messages and make the block time much faster, the blockchain will grow in size very quickly.

Then the question is: what regular user will be able to store a blockchain that is 100 terabytes in size?

Only large companies, data centers, or a few wealthy groups would be able to run full nodes. And that would bring us back to centralization.

If only a few people, groups, or companies store the blockchain, then the network becomes easier to control, influence, or censor.

Opstan is trying to do the opposite. The blockchain must stay realistic for normal users, so anyone can download the full blockchain, start mining, and help secure the network.

That is what creates real decentralization: not just fast messages, but a network that ordinary people can actually run, store, and protect.

I have to admit, you make some good points, and after checking out Opstan online, it’s clear it’s different from past altcoins that used messages in the blockchain. The only thing I notice is there’s no GitHub.

Yes, we are planning to create a GitHub soon and release the source code, so everyone will be able to study the blockchain in detail, understand how it works, and even build their own versions of the node.

If you are interested, you can also contact us directly. We would be happy to explain the Opstan project in more detail, answer your questions, and you are welcome to join our team and help with development, testing, promotion, or community growth.

That worked Thanks. I thought the chain had forked or something because the block explorer showed 19168 to 19196, but then I realized it was just a solo miner

Proof-of-Work Is Not Old. Proof-of-Work Is the Foundation.

Many people today say the same thing:

“PoW is old.” 
“PoW is slow.” 
“PoW is outdated.”

And yes, I agree with one part: there are many blockchains today that are faster, lighter, cheaper, and more scalable on paper.

But every time I hear that Proof-of-Work is “dead”, I ask one simple question:

What is the #1 cryptocurrency in the world?

The answer is still Bitcoin.

Not some ultra-fast VC chain. 
Not some centralized network with fake decentralization. 
Not some project controlled by a company, foundation, validators, insiders, or a small group of people.

Bitcoin is Proof-of-Work. 
Bitcoin started in 2009. 
Bitcoin is still the strongest cryptocurrency in the world.

So maybe PoW is not old.

Maybe PoW is simply honest.

Because Proof-of-Work is not based on promises. 
It is not based on marketing. 
It is not based on “trust us”. 
It is based on energy, miners, nodes, difficulty, and real competition.

You cannot print hashpower from nothing. 
You cannot fake mined blocks forever. 
You cannot simply vote yourself into control without doing the work.

That is why PoW still matters.

Opstan follows this idea.

Opstan is an independent Proof-of-Work blockchain, but with something more inside it: a decentralized social network built directly into the blockchain.

The idea is simple:

Money and communication should not depend on one central server.

Today, most social networks can ban you, delete your posts, shadowban your account, block your reach, or change the rules at any moment. You do not own your voice there. You only rent access from a platform.

Opstan is different.

In Opstan, channels, posts, and messages are part of the blockchain network itself. The chain is stored and protected by miners and nodes. There is no central company that can simply press a button and erase you.

This is what decentralization was supposed to mean.

Not just another token. 
Not another website with a crypto logo. 
Not another “community platform” controlled by admins.

A real independent blockchain. 
Real Proof-of-Work mining. 
A social layer inside the chain. 
Censorship-resistant publishing. 
A network secured by miners, not by permission.

That is the concept behind Opstan.

Bitcoin proved that decentralized money can exist without a central authority.

Opstan asks the next question:

Why should communication still depend on centralized platforms?

If money can be decentralized, then publishing can be decentralized too. 
If coins can be mined and protected by PoW, then social data can also live inside a PoW network. 
If Bitcoin showed the power of censorship-resistant money, Opstan brings that same spirit to communication.

This is not about chasing hype.

This is about going back to the roots of crypto:

Decentralization. 
Mining. 
Independence. 
Freedom to publish. 
No central owner.

Proof-of-Work is not finished.

Proof-of-Work is still the strongest foundation crypto has ever had.

And Opstan is built on that foundation.

Mine early. Build early. Test early. Support the network early.

Because history has already shown one thing very clearly:

When a real PoW network grows, the early miners and early supporters are the ones who understand the opportunity before everyone else does.
