With the fall of The Pirate Bay, I'm taking it upon myself to reboot the FTC portal to BlockchainLINK
-
One last note:
Link will be required for an idea been thrown around.
A free, open source, decentralised p2p, content distribution and monetisation platform.
I’ll let people think about that but I have some pretty solid idea’s… Zerodrama and I had been brainstorming this and a few things a number of weeks ago. Bringing back link was one of em.
-
There are legitimate uses for torrents too. But I’m concerned that we could make our technology scary. Perhaps this is something sidechains should be used for?
-
Technology will always be scary at first.
What I am suggesting though, is what will legitimise the torrents network. Currently it is mostly used for pirating. If we can change that. Wow.
edit
It will be massively complicated i understand, but Rome and such. It would need a rep system maybe tied in with white addresses(PGP based or maybe using open auth as an additional alternative)
-
You know my views on this, there is certainly a legitimate use of the technology but I can hear the axe being sharpened because we cannot provide safeguards.
-
There are so many coins that one more customised for this purpose won’t hurt. It will get a good deal of attention from media and lawyers, so I prefer not to get FTC, PXC, etc. involved with it directly.
-
I agree maybe on the back of doge or litecoin. Lol

Lol, yep I also vote for Doge! Fast and reliable cheap coin…man they will hate us.
Do it do it do it please.
-
Merged mined sidechain for this purpose. Keep all the scary stuff off the coin’s blockchain.
-
take over one of the abandoned coins for that ;)
-
Does this mean I should keep one of my scrypt ASICs? Lets start a new coin Torrentcoin?
ie. very very low min fees, Link in wallet, fully decentralised, forum in wallet, bitmessage in wallet etc…
-
Downloading blockchain on my droplet. After it completes it’ll be searchable again:
Had a hell of a time trying to make it work on a “fresh” droplet but cloned the old tippingintensifies one and got it to work.
Will make direct port linkage when I get home and update other things as necessary.
-
Just a quick note, I can not access the site yet. When you expect it to be live?

I have 100Mh/s worth of scrypt asics…
We could launch the coin then fork it to Neo/PoS.
Call it a side project to play with the technology. 0 intention on wasting time getting it listed on exchanges etc.
ghostlander, would that be separate enough?
Never mind… If it can be done and if i try organise it, i’ll just do it well outside of the ftc/pxc/ufo/NeoScrypt network/forum/community etc.

well what about the stealth transactions?
There’s no “Audit Key”… How is having truly anon tx’s any different in terms of bringing negative attention…
edit
If we don’t apply “safe guards” to stealth transactions, then I don’t see this “content platform” been any worse. Infact, there will be safeguards…
When it was clear we were getting sx:tx’s without an Audit Key, I accepted it. But I assumed that it also meant that we have chosen a path.
I was against stealth tx’s at the start.
I am in your boat MrWyrm but it’s either all or nothing here. Audit Key or we are going underground.
-
Just further to coins that might distribute information I’ve thought of some “features” it might have to reduce the cost of mining and make it fair (for its info storage purpose)
Miners are paid transaction fees.
The mining software runs “on Demand”, when transactions arrived they are grouped in , say, 20’s and then available to process and win the transaction fee. At other times the miners can switch to other activity, or close down.
p2pool type mining shares system included, all miners are paid proportion of total fee
There are a few other ideas, but to give possibility.
-
Great idea wrapper.
On the underground aspect I’m not in favour of stealth tx without an audit key and I’m not in favour of link on FTC. Both are great but do we really want all that negative publicity? I don’t want to be deemed a criminal like the pirate bay hosting was for being involved and using FTC. We are here to develop the technology yes but we must decide if we are willing to Cross these lines.
The stealth tx thing may not be as big a deal yet as we are not the first to do this. But the link thing is a concern.
-
Doge is just perfect. After all it is already supported in link. Not?
-
I remember reading a thread on reddit with Kevlar, I think there was a bit of a ding dong with members getting grumpy at the dangers. I’ll see if I can dig it up.
-
Doge threw it in his face.
-
I’m thinking we leave ftc as it is for now.
Finish off the core and it’s features, would be nice to have an Audit Key if possible.
If anything people would want compensation in the form of btc anyway. Using ftc as the unit of value as well as the link/BC tech puts more strain on one tech.
After thinking about this again, the platform I envision can’t be built onto 1 technology… It requires interconnected but separate technologies…
Anyways. I shall not speak of it again.
