Cashchan anyone?

Well we can't store images on the blockchain yet until someone comes up with a way to store / retrieve images on it (a new file format with better compression perhaps?)
2144d
This idea is ingenious though, but it would just be a forum basically (since can't post images yet apart from external hosts)
2144d
What would be cooler is Steemit or Reddit but for Bitcoin Cash
2144d
Images would be highly compressed or stick figures, each KB costs a bit over 1000 sat to store with, a standard 100kb image would cost about a dollar.
2144d
Like the idea of storing images on the blockchain, cryptograffiti.info is a way to store images on chain but it is very cost-inefficient as it encodes images using dust.
2143d
Why do you want to put images into the blockchain? Why not just the hash?
2143d
Because the image can be taken down, all the hash can prove is if an image has been altered, technically we could just create hashes of a regular forum board insted of memo
2143d
How is this different from Memo + IPFS?
2143d
4chan needs to be aware of memo.
2143d
Even a Yatsuba theme for memo would go a long way.
2143d
good idea hillaryclinton! yeah, why wouldn't memo & IPFS work? (there was talk about using both for torrents like 3 months ago?)
2143d
anything with unwriter's BCH OP_RETURN database standard that could be used for images? https://news.bitcoin.com/a-discussion-with-the-prolific-bitcoin-developer-unwriter/
2143d
not to store on chain but to store images off chain with hashes or links on chain?
2139d
if image upload were easier would this work?
2138d
memo made a thread a couple days ago discussing IPFS integration (I think) and the ability to write infinitely long (as much as you can afford) comments on memo.
2138d
yeah caught the end of it. lots of good ideas going around. dont understand databases enough to contribute. :(
2138d
Being active here is plenty of contribution;) Communities can do without good databases, but great databases do do much without a community.

lol thanks. we'll get the memes of production going
