Thanks @caff. Appreciate the tip, the share, and the ensō!
#bug (Ok, Bevan - cute reminder to use the "Feedback widget" - I will next time.)
Notification page... clicking on "shared" in an X shared this peep notification... then responding in the box that pops up leaves an empty peep as the one you're replying to... see a few peeps down

Yes.

Great summary!
Thank you... especially for the very kind categorization of "summary" - the biggest complaint from initial reviewers was that it was "too long"...
Replying to @caff (0x074862fe2760aa2e6e00955a3809ffe867520738)
I've heard suggestions that we call Peepeth residents "Peepers", but what about "Peeple"?
That makes a few of us in support of the term...

Replying to @Haje (0x6ab32660bce297983bb15932bb5bd6ab3140898a)
Yep. I guess my argument is that a blockchain isn't really required to solve the part I care about (reducing spam), and is actively harmful in other things I care about (some of which I have written about at great length - https://bit.ly/2JLtzBG )
Thanks for sharing! Will read.
I think there must be a solution that can preserve the benefits of the blockchain while minimizing the potentially negative characteristics.
The blockchain is essential for the things *I* care about... so I hope I'm not wrong.

Ohhhhh, mosquito badge.. I already knew about that one; excellent way to support an awesome cause. I was specifically interested in the "misquote" badge. ;)
WOOOPS! Thank you @bob ! Fixed it.
Replying to @Haje (0x6ab32660bce297983bb15932bb5bd6ab3140898a)
In my opinion, that's a risk to the whole platform. It's easier to take down (music/movies/images) that infringes on copyright than taking on a whole (RIAA/MPAA/stock agency) agency. Not to mention things like child pornography etc. IMO, that's not 'cost', that's 'risk'.
Your problem is basically with open blockchains generally. Your concern is that data cannot be deleted - which is the *point* of most permissionless blockchains. Not to say dApps couldn't be designed to make deletion possible - but at that point a blockchain is no longer required
Replying to @Bevan (0x30755d3e65c0cf46c35b72d11e52d941c5fc3a3e)
@callmegwei @patmayr @haje Yes. Also, Taylor @tay has posted extensively on this. Please check out and contribute to her #superpeep (link below). Good mod strategy is a top priority. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JUGZ-39pMJ9p_Udx9Myeua0GegsD9G7hihJ1UaVlPhQ/edit
Awesome, great work @tay and @Bevan. Thanks for sharing with the community.
Replying to @Bevan (0x30755d3e65c0cf46c35b72d11e52d941c5fc3a3e)
Thank you for this great piece Gwei! It's beautifully written. "This is the start of a paradigm shift from "free" to freedom." I love the graphic as well.
@Bevan it is truly my pleasure. I'm grateful to have been invited to help you and everyone of the Peeple shape the future of social media.
I'm here to help however I can, because I believe in what you're doing.
Replying to @abcoathup (0x13ebd3443fa5575f0eb173e323d8419f7452cfb1)
I can see verification becoming more and more important. The more verifications someone has the more trustworthy they appear. Currently Peepeth has twitter and the mosquito badge (plus an optional third - email for invite). I want to follow the verified
I think that if @Bevan can make those verification accessible on the blockchain, he has a good chance to get a head-start on being a badge/trust hub of sorts.I think verifications are an awesome idea and super valuable.
Replying to @bob (0xed3c6bcaaee02ed5ed572f87d36c4cc7d2f2bdef)
This is an amazing article! Glad to have a concise and awesomeley written article to share with my non-crypto friends! Only one question @CallMeGwei and @Bevan, where do I "buy a misquote badge"! XD
Wow! Thanks @bob I appreciate the tip and the sharing!
The mosquito badge section of my article has a link - but its just peepeth dot com / malaria.
Replying to @patmayr (0xa17ce52056ae38aacec1760011161b682050786b)
What about an account that posts on the public peepeth feed though? Will original team be responsible for that, a selected group of individuals, others?
The Peepeth community/devs will have control of *everything* that gets displayed on Peepeth.com. The raw data - stored on the blockchain - will be available to other front ends. Each of those will be able to moderate everything they show on their respective sites.
Replying to @abcoathup (0x13ebd3443fa5575f0eb173e323d8419f7452cfb1)
A bad actor can’t delete their peeps, it is there on the permanent record. Clients can hide content.
People tend to overestimate the ability to "delete" things on the internet we currently have. Screenshots, snapshots, archives- I know efforts are being made to be able to "forget" - but how feasible is that?
The social media we currently have give a false sense of security, imo
Replying to @pat (0x909eb9845189885795378654ff31700a07c0b23d)
Thanks for the response. Just for clarification. The Peepeth front end is censorable. Meaning there is some centralized party making the decision to censor certain content. If I don't like their censorship I build my own front end or join a different one (if there is one).
BOOM. Exactly. And the work @Bevan is doing is not just for Peepeth - alternative frontends will be a focus. There *will* be other front ends.
Replying to @patmayr (0xa17ce52056ae38aacec1760011161b682050786b)
On concern with community curation is that the process of doing so risks being longwinded and inefficient.
I suppose it will depend on the community doing the moderating. Haven't you ever posted something controversial to the bitcoin reddit? It's removed in a matter of seconds!

Great intro to Peepeth - thanks @CallMeGwei @peepethApp
It is my pleasure. I hope I can get it in front of people far and wide - not just those already on Peepeth.
If anyone has reddit, upvotes would probably help Peepeth awareness:

Thanks for the tips @john @balresch @abcoathup - a guy can always use additional funds for peeping. I appreciate the support.
Replying to @pat (0x909eb9845189885795378654ff31700a07c0b23d)
This was a good discussion. You could imagine that Peepeth _could_ be taken over by hate speech, racism, or severe discrimination. But there would be no way of stopping that because of the decentralized nature. Do you see that something like that could be a potential problem?
You can read this back-and forth I participate in re this issue here:

how can i not rp this? read it, take it in. share it with those you may know who loathe facebook and twitter and would appreciate fresh perspective on the concepts of social media and internet freedom.
WOW. My first Ensō! @Bevan must have just flipped the switch on that feature. Thank you, @pluma - I appreciate the positive feedback and glad you find the piece worth sharing.

This has come up many times, most probably because it is a very legitimate concern. The blockchain is uncensorable, but the individual front-ends are free to censor content. Individual communities can curate the content. Most communities will censor things illegal or hateful.

Wonder why Brave calls it's unidirectional token trap a wallet "The Brave BAT wallet is currently unidirectional" https://brave.com/faq-payments/#refund-money
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think they have a lot of other things to deal with. I don't like being forced to register with uphold to partake of the publishing side of the ecosystem. Hopefully they can work on that later. For now, at least not *worse* than Google etc.

$660M worth of Darwin tax: "Investors have been told that they would enjoy a profit rate of 48 percent a month from their initial investment" https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/13/exit-scammers-run-off-with-660-million-in-ico-earnings/
"Darwin tax" seems rather unsympathetic... but I did lol for a second.
Looking for the silver lining - people are inevitably going to wise up and invest responsibly.
Peeple: I've just published a little (ok - rather long) introduction to Peepeth and the benefits of decentralized social media platforms.
Feedback appreciated.

(6/6) The old guard will, quietly or claiming to aid the revolution, move to seize power even as decentralized services – exchanges, marketplaces, interoperability, etc. – ostensibly decrease reliance on trust. They are increasingly doing this by acquiring companies.
I think all of what you said is wise - worth peeping and pondering.
The only true defense I can think of is education - as cliché as it sounds. If people reject concentrations of power on principle, then I hope we can at least incrementally improve the current state of the world

Anyone on here use #Brave and have successfully managed to earn BAT tokens?
I'm assuming you mean, use the Brave publisher program?
Yes. I have. Several hundred.
If you meant earn from browsing - that is not yet implemented, afaik.
Replying to @Davis (0xe57af6b9af98ca7279ce042cfc113286ba148c91)
Cryptocurrencies are for ILLEGAL CRIMES. I'll stick to something with inherent value like paper cash, which can't be used for anything bad!!!
Well, technically speaking, if having/mining/exchanging cryptocurrency were made illegal... that would be a true statement.
Such is the slippery slope of criminality. It can simply mean, and often does mean, whatever ideas/activities those in power do not agree with.
Replying to @bitgenstein (0x13be1af70ff037d1d3ddbdd16a3ef79c6cbfb2fd)
Most #freedom revolutions create new places for #slavery to dwell. #Bitcoin & #blockchain enthusiasts must not believe in our revolutionary #crypto so unconditionally that we fail to perceive new dangers. #btc #philosophy
Tell me more. What are the top five dangers you're aware of? Will they supplement existing dangers or supplant them? If the latter, are they *lesser* dangers or greater?
If the "blockcahin revolution" is wildly successful, wealth centralization is still going to be a big problem

I fear this platform will expose me for the fat-fingered typist that I am. Needs spell check validations on the text area before you save your peep. cc: @bevan :)
#suggestion Agree, especially for saving a batch. Of course, on desktop most browsers do spellcheck textareas.

What do peepers think about Ripple? Not in a speculative sense but their products.
As @Bryce said - they may have some utility in specific applications... but not those that particularly interest me or that I think will be world-changing.

I do not support the idea of (esp. centralized) permissioned blockchains masquerading as substantially more valuable than existing solutions for sharing data.
Replying to @McBain (0x2271fe6d76ab94352ef826d97445048bd8c4d45f)
2nded would love to see that. Perhaps though he can't because of feduciary responsibility
There are other possible reasons for the lack of verification... ;-)
Replying to @Retrop (0x1fc6f7becea0ec77102d46bbad15b03dd95ce923)
Agree. Shame to see them get swallowed by Coinbase as competition is good but Cipher is def one up on Toshi. They actually have an iPad app for a start. (irks me using mobile apps formatted only for the phone in 2018).
Shoot. Wallet centralization is probably a net negative... though I'm sure wallet functionality will inevitably be built in at the OS level.
I love Cipher, and have loved watching all of these projects develop in their own style. The more experimentation the better.

I believe that it is a fallacy that the user will ever be able to be the only one in control of their own data. If you hand your unencrypted data to a third party, they now have it forever. It doesn't matter if it's blockchain based or not.
Control the data - ie be able to edit it without my permission or delete it. I'm fully aware it can be used/read by the world in most circumstances.
The definitions/concepts are still a little shaky/still developing in the space. Lucky us. :-)
Replying to @Xelion (0x7f4d762fa48d170a643337b49a50bc744c75bee0)
I've read the Bookstack white paper and i'm not really fan of the permissioned design. In Blockstack, the devs are still in control of the data, not in Peepeth which use ethereum's trustless blockchain.
I also need to do more research on Blockstack, but if the dapps control the data - rather than the users themselves - then it's not enough of a shift away from the current system for me.

Thanks for that! I just published a rough draft write up based upon my main tutorial video. I'm trying to build links back to that particular URL. Any chance you could link to it instead of the home page? http://www.dappuniversity.com/articles/the-ultimate-ethereum-dapp-tutorial
No Problem. Done.
I'll also use that url when I do a write-up later.
One note: Google will start penalizing sites for not being https.

More info on the premium course coming soon for sure! I just recently bootstrapped the website, and am adding features/content as fast as I can. Getting quite busy around Dapp University. :) I'll be sure to check out Brave publishing.
Sweet, keep your Peeple in the loop. I subscribed to your channel and will add you to the resources section of my site.
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
Doesn't work a whole lot verbally, but definitely works in text. On the other hand, "peepers" doesn't work a whole lot verbally either.
Yeah, I was using Peeps for the peeple and peeps for the posts... *that* doesn't work verbally, fyi. ;-)
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
I've seen people blame the market and claim that "DYOR" doesn't work. Pretty sure they just didn't do it right.
Yeah. If someone is running an ICO for a time machine and you FOMO in after looking at CoinMarketCap... even after reading the White Paper... you're not thinking critically.

Love this initiative!
Can we get more into about the premium course? The site is a little less than informative in that regard. Still working out the syllabus?
You should def register as a Brave publisher to get bat tokens when people spend time with your content. Takes 5 mins.

(pt 3) There was a pretty good report and re-cap on crypto and the pumping and dumping schemes on an episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. It's probably the first and only time I've seen the mainstream media accurately reflect what has been happening in this market
I don't agree with these "pump and dump" schemes at all, but people losing money cannot put the blame on others. If people thoughtfully invested and did their own due-diligence, then the success of those P&D orchestrations would be severely diminished. Education before regulation

While it is true that vaporware abounds in this space, and that a lot of projects will eventually be proven to have no viable product behind it, the slow progress of the tech as it applies to solving real world problems will be what matters. Not overnight get rich schemes.
So well put!
I took this as complete sarcasm - possibly because I can't imagine someone using Peepeth not seeing the potential.
Replying to @shaddox (0xb912363361195f62c62787af076d6356170929a1)
This blockchain stuff is a total scam. Cryptocurrencies have no inherent value. A useful currency needs to have inherent value, like gold, fiat currency, or nonperishables like paintings of Campbell's soup cans.

Sadly, I get that all the time.
