Inspiration
A question that has been bothering me for a long time is "whose property is our speech?" Many people may not care, but the truth is that these words are collected by capitalists and become their assets. We express our opinions, insights and help others in need in the forum. But once the capitalists decide to remove it, there is nothing we can do to stop them. So an idea came to my mind, can we have a decentralized discussion posting system? This idea has become more and more real under the blockchain technology.
What it does and How we built it
Our program is divided into two parts, the first part is the kernel of the program, which applies blockchain technology to form a pattern. The block not only has the traditional ledger, the pre-hash, its own hash, but also the merkle hash. The difference is that there is an additional place to store information. I intend to use this to achieve a goal that what we say on the forum will no longer belong to any body. We provide a UI ourselves, but anyone who uses the appropriate method and creates a new UI can restore the original appearance of the forum. And people can use different UIs to participate in the same chat, which has never been done before.
Challenges we ran into
Time is limited and it is the first time we got into blockchain. Front/Backend of implementing web app
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we can organize the structure of the project more than actually fixing bugs
What we learned
Difference between bitcoin and ethereum, smart contract, distribution of structure.
What's next for funnycoin
The next step is to spend more time on the P2P network to decrease the time it takes for transmitting data between nodes. The consistency and reliability of the program and participation of the users will also be our focus.
