New Qora service leading a crypto (r)evolution
Just few days ago, Qora developers released version 0.22 of their powerful second generation crypto platform with very important new feature yet not seen in the world of cryptos — with a decentralized social network.
This social network similar to Twitter is second improvement of Qora’s decentralized web server after searching engine presented in previous version. Using other Qora features like Arbitrary Transactions and Naming Service, this simple service allows users all things you can expect from modern social network. Blogging, sharing, liking, following, profiles, images, avatars…
This is a big deal once you realize, that all of this is hosted on a blockchain! Users can access this social network in their browser and every time they want to make an action (like share a post), an API call to the wallet is made. Once user authorizes this API call, Qora wallet takes care of the rest! Although every action costs 1 Qora, considering the price (15 satoshi), this is definitely acceptable for uncensored social networking!
If you are just a lurker, you don’t even need Qora wallet, because http://qora.co.in:9090/index/main.html service allows you to browse the blockchain content. But the true fun comes with Qora client, setting all the things and creating your own content. With no censorship, you are really set up with freedom of speech. Now it depends on you how you are going to handle this.
I believe that you begin to understand, that this is next important step in crypto (r)evolution I was talking about. Because financial freedom is cool, but is it really true freedom without freedom of expression? So let me kindly invite you to join this social network 2.0, because this all depends on us. If we don’t use the possibilities we have, we can end up again like slaves of establishment.
