DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to scale decentralized social applications to one billion users. Deso powers already over 100 apps including Bitclout.com (a decentralized social network)
Wow, thank you guys! This is my life's work and I can't tell you how excited I am to finally be able to talk about it publicly.
If you have any thoughts or questions please let me know, as I love to discuss this stuff, and check out bitclout.com, polygram.cc, desopulse.com, flickapp.com, cloutfeedapp.com, supernovas.app, or bithunt.com if you want to play with some real DeSo-powered apps!
@iamnotnader I know the feeling right. Asked you some days ago how you were able to build something live changing without the public knowing it was you. Good to see you relive that feeling now.
You are a hero in the making. I am glad to be an early witness.
@iamnotnader Massive congratulations to you and the entire team! So glad to see you're finally able to publicly own this revolutionary technology you've built. You deserve all of the recognition and success to come. Looking forward to building the future together 🙏🏼🌈
@iamnotnader So happy for you! The world needs this. I do have one key question though, I am based in the EU/UK, been working on decentralised /blockchain identity since the beginning, and I am wondering how you think about dealing with GDPR compliance on a public chain?
Today Deso launched under a new name, its layer 1 to build decentralized social apps. Many apps were built on top of it including Bitclout.com. Decentralizing social applications has become increasingly important as traditional apps gather more power to censor and control without sharing their profit with those who matter the most: creators and users.
Looking forward to seeing what they do with that in particular with the new $200m developer and creator fund. I have been an active users of Bitclout since day 1 and i love the community, the energy and the stark contrast you can find with other social platforms like Twitter and Facebook (who also want to achieve this same goal)
@ourielohayon you can't get your money out. nobody is posting anything interesting. it's really hard to sign up, I had famous rappers try to sign up and they couldn't do it. traffic is falling rapidly.
I tried very hard with bitclout but I had to give up! it inspired me to launch helladoge.com which is SIMPLE - you get dogecoin for posting and browsing, that's it! nothing complicated
@mahbodmoghadam This is not correct. $Clout (now $Deso) is listed in a couple of exchanges where you can sell your coin for BTC or ETH and more is coming. There is also a thriving number of p2p trading apps (the illustration the concept is working in real life). On the sign up i agree they could make a much better job at making it easier. I know a big redesign is coming and hope it includes that. You have other front-end clients for Bitclout/Deso that are really stunning in user experiences like Supernovas or Flick or Cloutfeed. but for that you need first an account. I think they added now the option to sign up with a Google account. but i have not tried it
@chrismessina not sure what you mean by bridge out. But clout is listed on liquid exchanges (blockchain.com for eg) . As per the heebee Geebees hater gonna hate. There was one VERY important announcement today which got burred in the cosmetics of the rebranding : the launch of a developer fund with massive funding. This is BIG news. It s not just code and coin but an engine to fund creators and developers
I did see that. Think next gen with contributor rewards could be cool. I do agree with him that it’s a little cumbersome to buy $deso. Tried on blockchain, got stuck. Tried on bitclout and got stuck as well (Texas not supported by Wyre). Currently tinkering on setting up node but endpoints need to be changed to get to finish line.
this is wayyy too complicated for me - I have gotten $300 and there's no way for me to cash out! it inspired me to build helladoge.com where you simply get dogecoin for posting cool stuff or browsing, nothing weird or complicated like this, steemit, voice, etc. etc.
Deso will be a revolution is social media. Launching with already established products such as bitclout, supernovas, cloutfeed etc has a big advantage over other crypto currency. Socializing with NFTs is the future. I'm really looking forward to see the growth of cloutpunk and yogicool, which are the best NFT collectables. Congrats @iamnotnader , for artists like me you have created an haven. 🔥✌️
I've never been more excited about the future of decentralized social and the decentralized internet since the announcement of DeSo today. Everything about DeSo - from the team members, to the technology - genuinely empowers creators and the community. I have no doubt that DeSo will lead the way in powering the new creator economy for years to come. The possibilities and use cases for what can be built on DeSo are endless.
I've been an avid user and hardcore BitClout enthusiast for the last 130 days, and launched my product, supernovas.app - a social NFT network powered by DeSo - less than a month ago. The future of NFT's is also social! I have no doubt this is just the beginning.
I sort of wish I'd started my DiSo Project after blockchain technology arrived instead of back in 2007... we might have succeeded! (Granted, I meant "decentralized" but used "distributed social" instead).
I'm really excited to be on the platform early - for those of us old enough to remember dialup modems and our ICQ numbers, for me, it really does feel like the early days of the Internet all over again. The community is friendly and engaging, and people are creating fun little side projects, plus big complex projects and everything inbetween. Every other day there is either a new update or feature pushed by the DeSo developers, or a community project that launches and breaks out.
The pace of development and execution of their roadmap has been impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.
@iamnotnader How will the project handle disinformation, violence, and other illegal activities? As we know that’s been a crucial issue for the major social networks today - will this tech just allow that all to run rampant? If so, the implications are immense.
