Initial idea
Recently, the whole world has paid special attention to the rioting in the US after the death of George Floyd. Now let's answer to a question: when the riots end, talking about the name George Floyd, which would be left in your mind?
The fact is that history has recorded a series of tragedies that had happened before: World Wars I & II; assassinations; genocide; ethnic cleansing; political purges and repression; violence; natural disasters; epidemics...They are easily forgotten by people over time. Even the deaths that make history would also fade away in others’ minds.
That’s why we formed the idea of building a social network for the deads, especially Coronavirus victims— the blockchain-based platform Heavenbook.
Heavenbook.io will show you people who have died and worth being memorized each day. People can know about these people & their achievements in life. Heavenbook.io’s users can also light candles, leaving flowers, or leave tribute messages to their loved ones who have passed away.
The birth of Heavenbook.io
A recent study indicates that young internet users frequently access and post on the site of their lost relatives, maintaining the social attachment to the deceased.
Most cultures of countries around the world say that death is not the end. For example, Indonesian people in Ma’nene festival will bring the dead back to life with a ritual of cleaning, changing clothes for the dead ones. Mexicans believe that there is life after death and they will die again if no one in the world remembers them. Romania, Samhain, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Austria, Czech, Australia, Colombia, Nicaragua, Peru, Venezuela, Japan, China …. mostly all countries have special festivals or events tributing the dead.
However, the festivals or events normally last only a few days. Most of the time, the deceased is put into the deepest parts in the mind of the living. The dead, they don’t have a real place to where others can pay tribute to them.
That is the reason for the birth of the Heavenbook social network.
With Heavenbook.io, you don’t need to visit the graveyard or wait all year until the festivals/events tributing the deads. Heavenbook social network will be the place for you to create memorials for all your loved ones who have died. Not just the deaths of celebrities, but all deaths of ordinary people are honored by Heavenbook. It could even be the death of a tree, an animal or your pet.
According to research by the Oxford Internet Institute at Oxford University, at least 1.4 billion people will die before 2100, implying that death could outnumber the number of people living on Facebook by 2070. That suggests the birth of the social network for the dead is not a joke. It is simply necessary.
What is the Heavenbook?
Heavenbook is a non-profit project created to store information to let all the living to memorize the dead.
Heavenbook, based on blockchain technology, works as a social network for the dead. The Heavenbook will show all information about those who have died each day. Those who are still alive can light candles, leave flowers, or leave tributing messages for the dead ones.
Heavenbook.io’s functions
Reminiscent of old deaths
Heavenbook.io will show people who have died on each day. All information, images of his biography, life, and contributions will be published on Heavenbook.io, so that everyone can see and memorize.
Living people can remember them through actions such as burning candles, leaving flowers, leave tributing messages …
Updated new deaths every day
When a person dies suddenly, anyone who knows (usually their relatives) can open a ‘memorial’ on the Heavenbook. This helps friends, relatives far away quickly know about the death of their loved one. Once the information of the dead is published, people can share your thoughts on the dead person together, talking about their feelings of the loss or posting their memories with dead.
Principle of operation
You and me, we can be different in everything from skin color, language, personality, habits, interests, culture … but the only thing we have in common is that we can all die someday. And when we die, we all want to be remembered and honored.
So, how does the Heavenbook honor the dead?
Deaths of celebrity
Historical figures, famous people, those who contribute to humanity … .. surely will be honored after they die. This is the work to recognize the merits and contributions they have made and left to the living.
The Heavenbook will preserve, record in detail, and store all information about their biography, life, contributions … This will be a historical archive, provided for future generations.
The death of ordinary people
In one way or another, peoples and cultures around the world will have different forms of memory for their loved ones who have died. However, after sometime later, people easily forget the face, the voice, or even the full name of the deceased. The fact is often after 3 generations, people will forget their ancestors. That is such a sad truth.
So for ordinary people who do not die in heroic circumstances or their deaths are hardly known about by the wide community, Heavenbook will provide memorial statues for them. Relatives of the deceased may establish a private space on Heavenbook.io where anyone can head to memorized the death of ordinary people. All the information of even ordinary people will be all stored and passed to the next generations.
The death of other living things
Not only humans but even plants and animals when dying should be honored and remembered. For example Sequoia sempervirens are honored as the tallest type of tree on Earth. Bob the dog Lucca and the pigeon G.I. Joe, Simon cat, Olga horse … are all animals awarded the Dickin Medal, the highest medal for animals of merit to humans.
With Heavenbook.io, not only rare plants and animals have merit. You can create a memorial for your little dead things that have lived with you such as your pet or your lovable tree.
Power of blockchain: the information of the dead will be safe, transparent, non-modifiable, and unregulated
Recently, President Trump signed a decree to deprive social networks of legal exemption in the United States. Based on that, social networks can lose the right to “self-launch” the content, which means the content on famous social networks such as Facebook, Twitter … will be censored or at least need to get the nod from the authorities to be published. It is undeniable that traditional social networks are being more and more controlled.
Along with that, the majority of users have disagreed with the approach of Facebook, Twitter … in the processing of data of the dead. On average, each user has 7 -8 social media accounts. It stores all personal information, including sensitive information such as photos, messages, payment accounts, etc. Facebook or Twitter have the right to decide what to do with all that data because they own them. When people die, all this information is still be stored on Facebook’s or Twitter’s centralized server.
So that’s why we need a secure social network place to store all information for social network users. No one can intervene, alter, or modify users’ data. It’s the next trend for the next-generation social network and Blockchain is the best solution to make it happen.
