Your client could be set up to ignore dislikes if you want, or to color posts that have a lot of dislikes, or whatever. It's just machine readable info on how some feel about the post.
Agreed, I was referring to the suggestion that people will be able to pay to censor others, site-wide. That's a very different mechanism.
It's not censorship, it's information. Censorship is saying you can only say you like something but not that you don't like something. What *you* do with the info is up to you.
If you're referring to downvotes, I agree, they are informative. But censorship is never informative. Express your opinion, positive or negative, but don't hide other people's content.
1 CPU/Dollar risked == 1 vote. this is not at all like blockstream subverting and capping the ballsacks of the BTC miners. this is miners finally understanding their role in this system
Not only is censorship always bad, but this idea doesn't even make sense technically. Memo (the protocol) is uncensorable by definition, since anyone can broadcast a bitcoin tx. (1/3)
be visible on other, interoperable sites? Just adding a mute option, so YOU will not see posts from certain people YOU don't like, makes a lot more sense. (3/3)

Memo.cash (the site) can choose to hide certain posts, but other memo sites will pop up that don't. You're suggesting we pay the admins of a site to censor posts that will still (2/3)
I mean every memo user has a chance (for some $$$/hour) to censor (silence) for a limited time any one other user. Yes, it is negative reinforcement but at least it is distributed.

Well if you don't want to keep that money, you can distribute it to the community. It has to be somewhat expensive.
I'm not sure people would react well to a feature that allowed someone to be censored all the time. Especially on a platform that advertises itself as uncensorable :P
The text is saved forever. The image can be taken down from the hosting website and made inaccessible to those viewing the blockchain.
Right now our best bet is to use
https://ipfs.io. I'm surprised that IPFS isn't getting too much love here. Bitcoinfiles can only go to 5kb and today I see their SSL cert is broken.
Essentially a memo desktop+mobile web application as well as node software for people who want to host Memo nodes. User->Application->Memo Node->BCH node->Blockchain
Memo is designed to work with lite wallets. It doesn't exist yet but it shouldn't be difficult to create a desktop version of Memo that isn't too heavy.
It was possible to have many more ancestors in previous implementations of Bitcoin. I wonder if any BCH devs / miners intend to push for a greater number again. I'd welcome it
Amazon makes it easier to get what we need, and helps humanity. It does it while making a profit. Most companies make our lives better, and make a profit doing it.
Check out my new Bitcoin Cash merchant directory at
http://yellowpages.cash It's still in beta, I'll be spending the next week populating with merchants. If anyone wants to help, feel free to sign up and go to town!
His (summarized by me) best points :
#1 Proposes a objective measurement for "how much propogation is too much"
Next, an encrypted private messaging system that works on memo.cash built on top of the Bitcoin (Cash) blockchain? Or is this a technical impossibility? Might be just too much effort?
BCH is a peer to peer electronic cash system.
BTC is not.
Because you don't care about truth. You only care about protecting your paradigms based on propaganda rather than cold hard facts.
I've found that the best way to increase on-chain transactions these days is to disagree with someone on memo.

That the high value would pretty much render "bits" useless since you could use satoshi like you use USD
In any case, the bit~dollar, sat~cent paradigm is more than sufficient for the foreseeable future...
