Memo now supports profile pics!

It looks like y'all are grabbing a copy of the image and serving from your own servers. Too bad we can't store the image in the blockchain. What is the ID at end of URL? Cache-buster?
replied 2200d
The URL is stored on-chain - we were considering adding image hashes as well, but decided to keep it simpler for now. Yes, the ID is a cache-buster :)

Hey memo, I didn't know how to @ you so I am replying to this.

How do polls get into the "ranked" list? Does the number of votes or money activity on the poll count toward it?
replied 2200d
The ranked list is only determined by likes. It would be good to include polls based on votes though, we will look into it.

I am running a World Cup sportsbook as you might have noticed. There is already 80,000 bits bet on today's match by 10 people. I really wish this poll-bet to appear in the front page.
replied 2200d
Why don't you do it in a Topic so it's easier to search. There is a "World Cup 2018" topic.
replied 2200d
That topic has only 2 followers. Just follow me and you will see bets in feed :D

Consider implementing onchain encrypted DM

In fairness there's a lot to be said for off-chain encrypted DM.

Yes, there are no reason that every thing has to be on chain. While Core doesn't want every coffee purchase on chain, we shouldn't aim to have every random media on chain either.

Hey memo, I have trouble paying out people in a sequence in a short time. UTXO management sucks. I have to wait for confirmations. Paying 10 people takes an hour of waiting. Pls help!
replied 2196d
There isn't anything in the memo backend that requires waiting for a confirmation.
replied 2196d
You have to wait for actions to propagate (usually less than 10 seconds) before performing another though. Definitely something we'd like to improve.

So the browser creates/signs a tx and sends it to a BCH node?
replied 2196d
Currently the txn is created/sent from the backend. Eventually this might be changed to happen in the browser.

nearly every time I try to post something this message appears on my screen: https://prnt.sc/ju648b

Thanks for reporting, another person said they were having a similar issue. We're looking into it.
replied 2194d
Hey,

I pay bet winnings in batches (such as https://bch.gg/3n) outside of memo. More convenient, easier to track.

Can you make such payments to memo users show up in notifications?
replied 2193d
Would you be able to add the OP_RETURN output so we can link it to the poll? Also, are there any features you'd like to see added that would make it easier to do it on the site?
replied 2193d
feature: another reply button for polls called `tip-results`; for non-poll memos this button can be called `tip-repliers`
replied 2193d
A payout to voters option would be nice. Different amount to each voter in one batch payment. Sort of like a gift to all voters but each with an amount I determine. Can you do this?
replied 2193d
Good idea, thanks! We'll see if we can add something like this. Probably will be some time though.
replied 2192d
Hey, I think you should clone voting protocol and make a new betting protocol out of it with betting limits, easy batched payouts for bet-makers etc.
replied 2193d
How about anonymous voting (betting)?

e.g.

1) Choose option
2) Write message
3) Add tip

Then memo produces a QR code. User scans it from their phone and sends tx.
replied 2193d
This makes every kind of betting very very convenient on memo. You can even have memo bookies in the future :D:D
replied 2188d
Have you considered implementing sections (busines and financial, random, politics... ) like 4chan? I belive if it's not implemented people will continue just talking about BCH
replied 2188d
That's what topics are supposed to be. Any suggestions on how they could be improved?
replied 2188d
Yes. My idea is create a hastag bond to every topic/section. Example: show all memo that include #anime on the memo.cash/topic/anime section and all posts publishied from /anime.....
replied 2188d
....from /anime section automatically include the #anime. So should be posible to create memos on every topic's subsite
replied 2188d
Create a logo or image/meme on the top of every popular topic would make it even more atractive
replied 2188d
That would actually be a good idea.

Yo dawg, i heard you like topics, so we added topics for your topics
replied 2188d
You can already search for topics with keywords like that.
replied 2188d
IMO right now every "topic" should include diferent discussions separated just like the main page
replied 2188d
I agree. That's the main distinction in structure between Memo and 4chan. You have gaming, and then individual threads under that for different games/discussions. Make it happen Memo.
replied 2188d
Perhaps rename topics to "groups" or "Topic Groups" or something. Then have a "Create Topic" or "Create Post" button.
replied 2188d
Discussion groups
Create a discussion
What do you think

Have the topics "speak" to people.
replied 2188d
Yeah, "Discussion Groups" is a good thing to call it.
replied 2188d
When 'group settings' are headed with questions that usually prompts people to engage.
Depending on results wanted, if discussion is the goal, what has you want to participate?
replied 2188d
No one gets it. Topic's are like subreddits. Post in topic starts thread. People should reply to post & make thread, but they post more topics. Ends up a confusing disjointed convo.
replied 2188d
Every category should have it's bunch of topics. Rename actual "Topics" to "politics" and you will aready have a very cool section. Then just make a subsite to choose between sections
replied 2188d
Is there a mechanism for voting for topics? In the sense we can "upvote" official commonly used topics and ignore spam or dead topics?
replied 2188d
Number of followers is sort of a proxy for this.

replied 2193d
Memo needs to not allow users to have identical user names. There's like a bunch of accounts with the same name "memo".
replied 2188d
Next to user names it indicates whether you're following the user (or if not, how many people you're following are). We should probably make it more obvious.

replied 2192d
Yea, and how do you do that in a decentralized way?
replied 2188d
Easy, you honor the first one to get the name by transaction time.

replied 2188d
What about reserving every major brand name so I can make millions selling them back or impersonating them? Not a problem?

Guess not. That's why Trump's twitter handle is @realDonaldTrump. Just like in early days of internet when corps were slow to get onboard.

replied 2196d
I'm pretty certain you can make a tx and then use the outputs of that tx to make another one and they can both be included in the same block but I could be wrong.
replied 2196d
I think so too but the server memo gets stuck at "Creating..." and page gives an error a while later. I don't know why.

replied 2196d
Which OS/Firefox version? Memo relies on localStorage, perhaps your browser version doesn't support it? Does this happen every time or only some times?

Firefox. 52.8.0 (64-bit)

Happens every time. I do have Adblock Plus installed as an add-on.
replied 2196d
upgrade your Firefox to Version 60.
replied 2196d
Thanks but not an option for me (work computer).
replied 2196d
Did you try another browser on a different computer? Like Chrome? Does it work on your mobile device?
replied 2195d
Chrome works fine on the same computer. I just prefer Firefox. No biggie.

torrents with JoyStream monetization, for web there is webtorrent protocol implementation

replied 2198d
I tried out joystream... imo people arent going to pay for stuff thats available on tpb, but where it could work is content creators (amateur porn, music creators, game makers, etc)
taowanzou
replied 2198d
We need to let the protocol mature a bit. The niches you mentioned are huge anyway.
replied 2200d
You can also use things like SVG w/ file compression & get some nice looking imgs in pretty small sizes. IPFS is good too, but the basic protocol would be nice to keep all on 1 chain.
replied 2200d
IDK, can get imgs pretty small. I'm able to reduce mine @ 320x320 to 10,091 bytes w/o too much trouble. That's what, 40 TX? You only do it occasionally. Costs about $0.19 today.

With webtorrent you need to keep a tab open seeding the file?

AFAIK — yes, until WebRTC Data Channel is supported in SharedWorkers. The issue was discussed at least three years ago, and I believe there will be some progress soon.

replied 2198d
Cool. What makes Webtorrent superior to ipfs? In your opinion
taowanzou
replied 2198d
WebTerront is basically a BitTorrent — a battle-tested protocol with almost two decades of history. IPFS is mostly an overhyped proof of concept.
taowanzou
replied 2198d
More to that, IPFS will most likely be tied to Filecoin — a monetization layer that is foreign to Bitcoin (cash). With BitTorrent we can have monetization over our own layer.
taowanzou
replied 2198d
There can be special archival nodes on desktop systems that seed files to webpeers, we have the basis to start now.
taowanzou
replied 2198d
Once WebRTC is improved and new version is deployed, such “media layer” can be drastically improved. That will take some time though.
