I hope you don't feel bombarded by feature requests — what you've built so far is already amazing!

Welcome to the Peepverse!

Time to go play Pathfinder with friends. I'll tell them all about my Peepeth and CryptoKitties adventures. Please post interesting peeps while I'm away!

Is there anything equivalent to 2FA that I can use to protect my MetaMask account / address / whatever it is?

I feel like I should know this already. I'm more cryptocurrency-savvy than the average person but the operational hurdles abound!

Ahh, @bevan addressed this issue previously on Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16816783

A key question for @bevan: Since content via IPFS + blockchain is immutable, as I understand it — and it's super possible that I'm simply misunderstanding on a technical level — how will Peepeth handle the inevitable troll who posts child porn?

@adam

Hmm, I feel like EtherLink is pretty vague. EtherSend would make it clear what the product does. PayEther or EtherPay seem likely to be taken, but are even more explicit.

The most annoying part of using dApps (in my experience) is still getting the $ETH from one place to another. Bank account —> GDAX —> MetaMask (via Coinbase) —> final destination. Lotta mental overhead and clicking "accept" before you achieve your goal.

#FeatureRequest @bevan

I would love to be able to see the text of replies in my notifications tab. Right now they show up in the firehose TL anyway so it's not a big deal, but that won't scale well.

tell them HELLO FROM THE BLOCKCHAIN

Helps me understand how this works :)

I mean... instead anyone who wants to can scrape your data, so I don't think privacy is a big difference.

I agree on both counts! CryptoKitties is so well-suited to be a mobile game that you play with in line for groceries or whatever

Caveat: I'm not qualified to give technical feedback.

People may be confused by "ether cash" and think that it's a separate token rather than ethereum.

Landing page design is great, and the idea is a good one.

@user lmao I love your username

I love the firehose! I wish Twitter still had it, so you could dip in and out whenever you wanted.

True, but I suspect that normies don't care enough about advertising or data collection to change their behavior. We'll know for sure when we see Facebook's next quarter numbers...

That said, small and niche communities can be awesome.

the birb #CryptoKitties are so cute

I just bid on a couple of #CryptoKitties for the first time! They're so cute, and the breeding mechanic would have been super cool on Neopets back in the day. I could see kids really getting into CryptoKitties, actually. Maybe I'll teach my niece when I see her next.

I can see Peepeth needing a Patreon-like feature to support the accounts of people who can't afford their own 🤔

Numa, which is also interoperable with the Fediverse (to some extent) https://numaverse.com/

It feels so unnatural not to be able to fave replies. Should I start doling out $0.01 tips like "hey I saw that; here's a positive interaction"?

Or should I just embrace that the norms here will be different from 1:1 Twitter clones

Got it. Frankly, I think the current iteration of Peepeth is too expensive to really take off, when there are so many free social media options (Twitter, Facebook, the Fediverse, startups) but I'm interested enough to stick around for a bit

Ngl, I don't really want to pay for social media when there are so many free options

I hang out on the Fediverse regularly! https://maly.io/@sonya

Try out Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/

Or join this Pleroma instance: https://pleroma.soykaf.com/

couldn't that be accomplished with just IPFS, no blockchain needed?

Replies are posted as quote-tweets?! Or quote-peeps I guess

I definitely jumped on @sonya but maybe I should save my usual full handle too. Seems like a bit of a hassle though

So it's like Twitter but posting costs $ETH? Hmmm

Hello! Hopefully this is working.
