To test it choose a web node and go to tweets.



How it works :

---------------------------------------------------------

1. An user post a tweet. He / she can attach up to 5 pics.



2. The "tweet" packet is broadcasted to all nodes.



3. Once included in a block the "tweet" will become visible on all web nodes.



Same rules apply for follow, unfollow, comments or like data packets.







Advantages :

----------------------------------

- No central server



- No central authority holding the personal data of hundreds of millions of users.



- No censorship (Web node operators can only "hide" content, but when 200-300 web nodes will be active completely censoring a post will become almost impossible, no matter the content.)



- As easy to use as the real twitter. There are no usability differences. Nothing to download. You can follow, unfollow, post comments or setup a profile for each address (Sample :



- No content restrictions but i'm sure node operators will "filter" really illegal posts.

We have just launched the first decentralized microblogging platform as part of MaskNetwork ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272309.0 ).

Actually I think that Qora beat you to that (by at least a month if not a few) but still good to see others working on similar ideas (btw - I don't think it is good practice to claim a "world's first" when in fact it isn't - and especially when there are blockchains to "prove" when things happened).



If your "world's first" claim is more specific then just a "decentralized social network" then please update your OP to show that (you may have achieved a "world's first" but not as the "world's first decentralized social network").



Although it never really made it (likely due to Mark Zuckaberg's influence) wasn't the Diaspora project the world's first such thing (and that was a few years back)?

I meant the first web based...Qora is not web based. You have to download a client to use it. It's hard to say what diaspora is / was because no matter what pod (web node) you use, there is no content / no community...nothing. And there was also Twister. I still remember trying to install it for 3 hours with no success (



Right now MaskNetwork testnet is the only place where you can "tweet" something using your browser with no central server / authority. It has the "touch and feel" of the real twitter and i am sure it will be used intensively by the future MaskNetwork sellers to stay in touch with customers.



Anyway, i have change the statement until i read more about diaspora... I meant the first web based...Qora is not web based. You have to download a client to use it.

You can post, though. Qora and MaskNetwork are both written in Java, it would be great to see code re-use between them.



I bought some coins from the masknetwork presale but never got them e-mailed to me. I submitted a support request but no reply.

How do you cope with SPAM?



I'll give it a test properly later and will be grabbing some MaskCoins, seems the site doesn't fully work via my iPad. Fallen down the crypto rabbithole!
