1] Each year the blockchain will be shrunk (automatically)
2] A cloud version of the client should resolve this issue for users with low-end hardware
3] Messages won't be included into the blockchain for free, you still have to pay a transaction fee, so you can't misuse this feature
Topic: [Nxt] Decentralized App Store - page 2. (Read 6613 times)
I have one doubt - what about blockchain size? Won't it be a problem long-term? I have a great idea how it could be used in a decentralized subscription model, but there could be a lot of data (probably several gigabytes in the long term). Specifically speaking I would like to store RSS channels that can be updated only by owners which would store links to files.
First of all I want to say that I love these innovative ideas you have.
About the design... it's hard to say, but the first thing that comes to mind is that it needs to have a way to easily categorize, as well as search for, the digital goods. Even the Google play store doesn't have a very good categorization ability.. if I want to find a game, I can... if I want to find all roleplaying games... I can't. Which is pretty stupid.

This thread is dedicated to discussion of Nxt (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-nxt-descendant-of-bitcoin-303898) and its features.
Nxt has different features that make decentralized services real. One of these features -- Messaging -- can be used to sell/buy digital goods represented by plain text. Particularly to sell applications for computers/phones.
The workflow looks quite simple
1] A developer sends a message describing a product (it's stored on the blockchain).
2] A user sends a payment to the developer's account.
3] The developer sends an encrypted message with a link or a code (stored on the blockchain as well).
4] The user decrypts the message and uses the code to unlock premium in the application.
Key points
1] Developer publishes their account on their webpage to prove they are the legitimate owner (or uses Reputation System of Nxt)
2] All actions are public and can be audited (the encrypted message can be audited if one of the parties reveals the key)
3] Only transaction fees are charged, 100% profit goes to the developer
4] Noone can shut the store down nor they can DDoS it
Nxt client will have widgets that scan the blockchain and visualize digital goods. I'd like to hear how this should look and what features should be implemented in the client software.
