Here’s a question I wonder about: how would a “decentralized Twitter” like Peepeth block scam accounts impersonating others - the stuff you constantly see on Twitter today?
Replying to @ProtegeAA (0xbbe9ad0fcbd911d3c0afcbd62b55a6f825b6c220)
Yes, was paying off a CDP. I used my DAI to buy Steem, which I turned into Steem Power (SP) that I can delegate at 25%. DAI costs like .5% to borrow. :-O
That’s definitely cheap! How will you pay off the full CDP if you spent rest of DAI? Issue I see there is you’d have to buy more DAI using fiat or use Eth, which means you’re still exposed to volatility risk...

Put some DAI back into my CDP today. Constantly amazed at how smoothly the whole Maker/DAI system works.
Were you doing that to pay off some of your CDP? Curious - what do you use DAI for?

Only you should control your private key, so signing a message proves you control that key. It is identity/password in one. https://idea-instructions.com/public-key/
When I “sign” by pushing a button (via Toshi app), there’s a series of letters/numbers above the button. This changes each time I sign. Why? There’s no actual private key I’m inputting so I assume Toshi is managing this behind the scenes? Seems arbitrary from UX standpoint...
Can anyone explain to a non-technical noob - what is actually happening when I do a “passwordless” sign in? Why is it required and how is it secure if there’s no password involved (I assume it’s not an intended access control)?
I wonder if there are ways to combine prediction market apps with social media apps like peepeth for fact checking to prevent the below. Immutable is great. Immutable fact could be life changing. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/21/world/asia/facebook-sri-lanka-riots.html?actio

Eventually you should be able to do this just by earning Basic Attention Token from viewing ads on Brave.
That’s a separate platform though right? What I’m thinking about is whether there’s a way for a Peepeth user to feel like the platform is free so that the gas payment occurs in the background and is netted by some revenue going in.
Replying to @wgmeets (0x6e63a4caeccb4f341ee9c9175c9cc554bdb6d10b)
I think it'll be a odd balance of both since we now control what we say and pay for it.
I wonder if there’s a way to net the cost on the platform so that it appears free e.g. allow advertisers to pay us for ads/surveys.
How much should Peepeth care about network effects? Do we believe people will value their data or will we end up with high quality, low volume/users?

Working on building a 1-day financial literacy refresher for my classes. Mostly college juniors and graduating seniors. What would you include as things you wish you knew leaving college?
Time value of money (with real examples esp. with first paycheck) and cost of debt - credit card debt in particular. Average household debt in US is >15k. Mind boggling.

Check out a medium article I wrote on blockchain and digital art: https://medium.com/coinmonks/cryptokitties-challenges-our-mental-models-of-art-6db58df87879?source=linkShare-31b0f4785f11-1524181974

New websites wouldn't even be necessary. Users can just have some local html/javascript/css files that fetch data from IPFS and Ethereum directly. Censorship would basically be impossible unless you block files on IPFS (not an easy thing) or cut-off connection to Ethereum.
For your gas fees

Hadn't heard of that till now, awesome! Still needs functionality to make posts, follow, etc., but it's a functioning, uncensorable feed of posts, which is a great start!
So if that is the case, what’s the point of the website? UX friendliness? By the way, appreciate the responses to a non-technical noob.
Replying to @flygoing (0xec3281124d4c2fca8a88e3076c1e7749cfecb7f2)
Peepeth as a site is fairly censorable since it is just a website, but another frontend could fairly easily be developed that connected directly to IPFS and the Ethereum blockchain which would be much harder to censor without censoring either of those decentralized systems.
So new websites could continuously emerge creating a cat and mouse dynamic. This would help make peeps available to users, but would creating new peeps become logistically difficult? I suppose you could then peep on any of the new front end sites that were working at the time?

I’m curious, are Chinese able to access and post on Peepeth?
Anyone have thoughts on this? Trying to get a sense of how censorship resistant Peepeth is. If a government “blocked” Peepeth, how easy/difficult would that be?

I worked a conference on connecting capital and startups today. Some good notes, some knowns. At least one VC company is running blockchain accelerators already. The founder noted we're in a bubble, but they expect big things in the future and are investing to make it so.
Very cool Gregg, any particular insights that stood out?
