Topic: [ANN] The Front Pub - A Dapp for decentralized publications on top of Ethereum (Read 58 times)

A dapp that gives you a platform for sharing memes, news, advertisements or any other type of media. Choose from showing the world a simple link, a clickable image, a video or an iframe to your resource.

Rules are simple: Use ETH to give your publication a score. A publication with the biggest score will be shown on the front page. The longer a publication is on the front, the smaller the score becomes.

If a score of the top publication drops below a score of another one, or someone makes a new publication with a bigger score, the latter will take over. A switch will only occur after the former publication was on the front for at least 15 minutes, except for the cases where a score reaches zero before that.

The total duration on the front page is calculated by am exponential function, where 0.05 ETH is equal to an hour and 1 ETH to a day. All publications are kept in the history, where you can see when they were shown and changes in their scores over time. Given the competitive environment the dapp also has a leaderboard.

The dapp is published to Ethereum Mainnet, Ropsten and Rinkeby and they all have separate histories and leaderboards.

The frontend is served in distributed manner and can be accessed from IPFS.
