I was wondering if anyone knew of a blockchain development team or project who are looking to develop a decentralized forum (like bitcointalk.org, reddit or 4chan)?
I've seen a number of blockchains or on-chain scripts which allow for person-to-person messaging however, after an admittedly brief search, I couldn't find any existing projects which sought to create a forum-like solution. My very rough description of what I'm looking for would be:
- The blockchain would hold the text from the threads along with a forum structure
- The user client holds most of the logic, formatting, standard images, etc in order to keep the blocks small
- Forum contents would be encrypted so while users would download the entire forum they could only read posts they have access to (via publicly or privately shared keys)
- Users could post anonymously or they could sign a post with their own private key
- Blockchain validation would be paid for using small transactions fees in a similar way to Ethereums Gas
Regards,
Soul.
