Great news, is the long form content also in the form of storing files like .jpg? that would be very cool.

No, just text for now. Formatting support though hopefully. IPFS support is possible but lots of stuff to work on first.

1$+ per picture is quite expensive for image storage. It will probably be used mostly for blackmailing and CP
replied 2158d
The inevitable CP could cause legal issues for any central memo.cash website. Need decentralized client that anyone can run at home from scratch BEFORE jpegs easily stored on-chain.
replied 2158d
There's a grim problem in our future: CP and other vile images that are even harder to expunge from the blockchain than they are to unsee once they're burned into your eye sockets.

Here is an example of a smaller image, it is about 527 bytes does not cost more than a couple comments,
replied 2158d
It is already possible to encode any file to the block chain(BC) cryptograffiti let people encode images, and it was never used for those purposes. Few places worse than BC to do that.
replied 2158d
as I know cryptograffiti limits image size up to 50 kb 🤷‍♂️
replied 2158d
Since it transfers to Dust addresses it takes about 4 bytes to encode 1 byte of data, and the dust is locked away forever, so it is a bit wasteful compared to memo and other OP_Return.
replied 2158d
Yes, because it encodes into one transaction with a lot of output dust addresses and it do not use OP_RETURN, it is possible to split files into multiple 50kb chunks.
replied 2158d
ok i see, but what the reason to put images to blockchain? its fun for sure but what the purpose?
replied 2158d
It is a bit like engraving it into stone, it will be there forever basically, personally I would like to encode small images couple kb, 3k example.

With infinitely long messages it is possible to just paste the raw text of the file anyways, there would need to be some sort of decoder anyways built into a service like memo.cash.
replied 2158d
like bbcode lol
replied 2158d
That is what the dark web is for, makes no sense to blackmail someone on the block chain as it is publicly visible and it would already be out there forever.

Encrypting image, putting it on the blockchain and sharing the key with the victim looks like a good blackmail mechanism to me.
replied 2158d
Anything that is not possible to censor or redact has that feature, even our comments now, everyone can put out threats, blackmail if they want to in plain text.
replied 2158d
It would be easier to just put the SHA256 hash of the file as proof of existence, it is already possible to write any data to the BlockChain or any other storage system online.
replied 2158d
I assume that it is longer comments, but that alone is of course very nice.
replied 2158d
Actually working on something separate from comments - a fairly new use case. Think on-chain geocities / github pages. Which would include support for editing.

Completely off-topic - I am quite excited and interested in memo. How can I make more serious contribution?

What do you guys use python for? I read the github repo for quite some time and all I see is Go
replied 2158d
memo.cash is written on go. its was personal question )
