Decided to try creating a memo alternative and I need your help.
Please consider joining/supporting the cause:

I'd like to see a solid Memo *client* alternative, not a new protocol.
If you want to attract that sort of investment, you need to put forth more details than that pastebin.

This!
It sounds like the problem with that is the repo for the Memo protocol is private. So any external efforts to substantially build upon or modify the protocol are not practical.
There are no protocol repos, that's the point of being on-chain. Also, this app uses many protocols, some we didn't create, like SLP and B://.
I intended this just to start discussion. AFAIK memo is not maintained openly and the operators do not seem to want to go into that direction.
I completely agree
I'm afraid memo.cash will never be open. Otherwise the creators would have maintained it publicly by now.
You can't really contribute to or build on a project which only exists in a private repo somewhere.
Makes sense. Hopefully there will be enough interest so you can lay out a more detailed plan.
I don't have much money to spare, but i am willing to show interest in a more BCH focused social media platform that can genuinely be taken seriously.
This gives the platform more flexibility. Also pay note to the encryption outline in this document. ECIES allows asymm-encryption given only a user's public key. CashAccounts potential
Each message (OP_RETURN) would be best stored as an intent + operation.
For instance, memo://${1byte-OP}${IPFSHash}.
Where ${1byte-OP} = Set, Update, Revoke, etc.
I'm going to email you later today.
"1.) I'm looking to collect 100 BCH to start off."
Dude, fuck off BCH doesn't work like that
I think you have serious misconceptions dude.
No one's going to give you money for something literally anyone in our dev community could slap together in half an hour, or literal minutes if built on top of the memo protocol
I want a good platform, not something that is "slapped together". I don't really understand your anger when you are free to decide to help or not. Also, memo is not an open protocol.
It's not maintained in a public repo.
Also, adding the very needed missing features would instantly break compatibility.
That's the sticking point. You need to be n°1 to add features to the protocol
I'm guessing you're not a dev, but just FYI no one controls any protocols. Many apps implement many protocols. This app use Memo, SLP, B://, etc.
If I want to add something to the memo protocol (let say private message) and you disagree/dont want to implement it then it'll fail and cause frustration for everyone
It works too with the retweet functionality that is missing here, if only 10% can rt it's weird
It's a good thing because the n1 should be the one that decides because who else should
Email works the same way, over the years different email providers have added new features that have been selectively supported by others. No one controls email.
There are multiple apps that have added to the protocol. None have failed or caused frustration afaik.
To the memo protocol ? You are the only one developing it so you are the only one modifying the protocol. I don't think there is an alternative serious site that is a "memo clone"
The memo protocol is just OP_RETURN with prefixes. Just because they don't have large amounts of traffic doesn't mean they weren't able to add new prefixes.
He's a Faketoshi zealot. All words are wasted on him.
Memo is still small. It could be eclipsed in no time.
We need more competition! So glad the interest is there though, I bet this is going to be a huge sector eventually. I'll help out in any way I can
Do you know any CSS? That’s what’s holding me up right now because I suck at CSS and design.
I got u. What needs to be done?
CSS grids. One row is 7 cols.
#1 is left justified,
#2 is blank (resizes with the window),
#3-7 are right justified. Can&
#39;t get a constant gap with
#3-7; it changes with resize.
Grid is the successor to flexbox, so I was hoping to employ new tech. Might give up and just use bootstrap 😂
Unfortunately I haven't done any web development in a while, I would be happy to help out where I can though
We added a token exchange to SLP. Doesn't seem like SLP compatibility is broken. Can you explain more?
A good example is chaining comments to achieve higher character count. This would be an important feature that would break compatibility if you don't add it at the same time.
It wouldn't break compatibility, it extends it. Just like SLP still works, the exchange is just in addition.
But you would still need to implement it on memo.cash to work properly, wouldn't you? I'm pretty sure that it could cause issues if different sites won't roll out features in tandem
If an app adds actions that aren't supported on Memo then just that activity wouldn't show up on this site. For instance MemberApp added maps and Wewo added blogging.
Memo is an open protocol
Dude srsly that's the point of metanet. Everything open so anyone can compete
*Compete = do as nchain/coingeek mandates or else...
