This is an interesting application of blockchain, but as the article points out, the system isn't really "trustless" as it relies on human non-intervention to preserve the results. As long as there are incentives to skew the data, there will be an actor looking to take advantage.

I believe that religion and morality are not the same thing; our collective narratives may include lessons on how to be better people, but they are a record of millenia of trial and error and not the immediate cause or pillar of "goodness"

I believe that people are poorly represented by their leaders; innevitably we put people in charge who fall remarkably short of representing their people as a whole. We should strive to remind ourselves that we are all human and thus, deeply fallable.

#ImmutableThoughts

I believe in working toward the goal of a "world without borders", where we come together as an entire species to tackle the global challenge of finite resources rather than fighting for what others have. We're not even close yet, but that should be our goal.

#ImmutableThoughts

I believe that humans, in general, do the best they can with the circumstances situations they are given; noone is ultimately out to hurt one another, but that is frequently an unfortunate side effect of acting in percieved self interest.

#ImmutableThoughts

I am going to lay down some of my permanently engrained and unchangeable philosophical outlooks on the world as a record of opinions I feel will never change for the rest of my life. Not looking to pick fights or troll, just looking for an immutable record. ;)

Need to click "Sign In" first (sign a message from Peepeth) to activate the session. Once you are in you should see the "Invite" option. You will also notice once signed in that the last menu option on that dropdown will say "Logout".

You can always export your private key from your MM wallet and import to #Trust for on-the-go fun. ;)

The question is mainly due to @abcoathup's alternate approach to having users sign a vote and record that on the IPFS and then batch save a summary of all signatures to the etherchain... the method I am using is trustless but incurs a higher operating cost in gas per vote.

The "fee" is just gas. The smart contract itself has no fee associated for use, but does include a withdrawFunds method to allow the owner to pull out any ETH donated in the form of tips (to reward cool polls). I called it a fee because that is how many view gas costs.

Loool... was hoping the project logo would be the preview image, not my mugshot. :p

Here is what I have so far (in the form of a loose theory/general idea, and mostly horrid code):

https://github.com/EthDevBob/polleth/blob/master/README.md

The big question on my mind:
Will users accept a $.02 fee to vote as an acceptable trade for no advertising and tracking?

I wish I could make a poll before I build my dApp to ask the community if they would be cool paying $.50 to create a poll if it meant they may make it back in the form of tips, and if users would be cool paying $.02 to vote if it means no need for tokens or other hoops.. 🤔

Bahaha... a really bad attempt at a joke. XD

I am warming to the idea of an ensō leaderboard stat, if only as a way to distinguish "quality vs quantity" relative to the #peepleader counts. ;)

I think for ensō received, it would be cool to track specific peeps rather than totals by user. And for tips, track user totals.

Drawing out my idea for an embeddable web3 polling dApp... web3 full stack is hard... not sure how you do it @Bevan. ;)

The smart contract is the easy part.. making all the moving parts work together: not so much... Not sure why I thought this would be an easy project. 🤔 #buidl

It's crazy how this happens, not just on Peepeth, but in most social forums; the more active voices there are, the less desire we feel to participate. It's like the relative loss of impact our individual voices carry changes the dynamic of the entire platform. 🤔 #peeplosophy

#notawhale

I noticed this too.. It only happens on copy/paste. It looks like the event listener that tracks chartacter count and auto-truncates only triggers on a keypress(?). Maybe @Bevan can check it out and throw another event listener in there for something more sensitive? ;)

What is cool to me about this photo is the light source coming from inside the model's hood. It makes for a really cool "unnatural" effect that seems out of place but also totally perfect. :)

Hey @jimbob, can you shed some light on something about artwork bought on knownorigins.io? If I purchase a work, what sort of licensing/reproduction rights go along with owning that digital asset? Can it then be used freely as though it were my own (for commercial/private use)?

@abcoathup is being modest.. He is literally the creator of 10% of all peeps on Peepeth (with 1332/13063 peeps at this moment)! 😂

Also, welcome to Peepeth!

I think you need the full "Verifying my identity on Peepeth.com ..." part, like this:

This is the best idea I have seen so far about how to handle #GDPR on the blockchain:

Web 2: Right to be Forgotten 🤔 (General Data Protection Regulation)

Web 3: Right to be Ignored 😂 (God Damn Personal Responsibility)

@jonramvi Dude, I love your message to the world!

"Be the chains you want to see in the world"

Epic!

Death, in and of itself, is a great motivator to accomplish as many things as possible in the relatively limited span of time we have in this world; many things in life are uncertain, but there is one thing that is always guaranteed. Enrich you life by embracing the unavoidable.

Integrated apps that make onboarding simpler and familiar; something that allows for in-app-purchases as a way to get crypto in your wallet and then seamlessly handles all of the signing, queuing, noncing, and other transactional shennanigans (like gas) in the background.

Nice subliminal loading screens @Bevan. ;)

I second @Micah here.. #WestWorld is pretty awesome. I am glad it exists to soften the blow of #GoT being on hiatus for two years; combine that with the new #DrWho and I just might make it. ;)

This is an interesting dynamic, and perhaps even a false narrative; by placing our data literally on an immutable public blockchain, are we really paying for our "privacy"? To me, it seems like we are actually making our data more freely mineable to everyone. 🤔

Slow day in the Peepethland. Everyone must be out making the world a better place. ;)

📴👍🗺💪

Nice intro. I am especially a fan of the site screenshot showcasing the UI. ;)

Looks slick. I was trying to figure out how to list a custom token and hit a wall.. The FAQ states that they do not select tokens to list and it is user driven, but pulling up a token by its contract address will not allow you to sell. We got any #airswap devs on Peepeth yet? ;)

The education and improvement to your skillset is the best reward you can get anyway... the potential value is way more than a few tokens could ever amount to. ;)

I use started out on #Toshi and then switched to #Trust. Easy to import wallets, switch between accounts with ease, bookmark support, clean and intuitive interface, automagic token discovery, and @vikmeup is one of the most responsive devs I've come across. ;)

ETH ;)

Excellent write up! 👍

This is definitely on my reading list now, but after a quick skim of the list, Taylor Monahan ( @tay ) is missing, so I'm not sure how much credibility I can give to the article as a whole. ;)

That looks foundationally like what I am thinking, but without weighing votes based on ETH balance and with a simpler barrier to entry (no need to sign to create poll, just pay to spawn a new poll).

Can you learn me something on sign and store in IPFS? Any good articles on this?

Maker > question, options
Magic > spawn contact, return abi/address
More Magic > spin abi into embeddable polling script/object (store on IPFS?)
Website > show poll object
Voter > pay for gas to cast vote

In theory, something like this would integrate nicely on peepeth.

Been thinking this would be a cool dApp actually.. Something that spawns a child voting contract and associates the new contract/abi to a dynamic & embeddable poll object... I can see all the pieces in my brain, but damn do I suck at code. :p

@abcoathup, does this exist already?

Been hodling #P3D since I learned about the game on Peepeth last month. Looking forward to FOMO3D.. I didn't like their implementation of the 232 hack (could have reported it rather than using the exploit) but it speaks to their skill as coders, if not to their ethical standings.

I've never spent more than $0.02 for a batch of actions... Ethergoo has been clogging the network recently though, and if you're letting the gasstation set the rate you may be overpaying. ;)

Even at $0.07 for 15 actions, it is less than a #PennyForYourThoughts! 🤘

Negative. Its not impossible, but it would take a lot of forethought and effort to ensure that no digital footprints are left creating a link back to an actual person. It is doable, but there are (supposedly) other platforms that are easier to use for said shady actions.

The disincentive from doing illegal stuff on the etherchain is that everything is back traceable through the public chain.. Ethereum is one of the least appealing platforms for shady actors seeking anonymity (because the platform is so open and transparent).
