Yeah, maybe I am too hard on opticalcarrier (I deleted that post, but you must have replied in under 120 seconds before I hit delete), but if you point the finger, people point one back at you. Stakeholders don't have to do anything they don't want to. NXT isn't a company with board of directors. All of us are stakeholders. Why should the big holders pay more than anyone else? They didn't start a company.

@ business-savvy nxters:

Is it possible to monetize a decentralized social network, hosted on Distributed Storage provided by Service Providers? I'm quite tired of checking all accounts on Facebook, Google+, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. Faster a big player comes to Nxt Socialization, earlier I get rid of necessity to waste time on mentioned social networks.

All this stuff that you're doing with the alias browser and the browser extensions/addons is great! Really adding value to the alias concept.

I think someone mentioned aliases in hostnames a few pages back, so I put together a quick proof of concept.

Try putting this in a browser:

alias.nxt.pe
or
http://alias.nxt.pe/

For example:
rasppi.nxt.pe
facebook.nxt.pe

Actually this just forwards to 22k.io/alias so it 100% relies all the hard work you've done. And it's just a proof-of-concept something to play around with. Give it a try, and if you think it works well perhaps it could be implemented as alias.22k.io directly.

I agree...my point is that as more & more people start to interact inside the Nxt ecosystem it automatically become a social network like the others.

you have ur news feeds
buddies thru Alias
msging
marketplace
forums
etc

EDIT: Pls don't let me distract from the original idea......Yes if based on MOBILE it may be possible to monetize.

A while back, someone (c-f-b?) mentioned putting json entries into aliases. Has anybody looked into how this might work?

As an example, I have put this into the 'notsoshifty' alias:


Or, easier to read:


So the idea would be that if "nxt:notsoshifty" was entered into a browser, the browser extension would fetch the alias, look for the 'web' entry, and go to that URL (http://www.notsoshifty.de/). A nxt client would look for the 'nxtacct' entry if it was in reference to making a payment; an email client would look for 'smtp', etc.

Ferment: if you think this is a good idea, perhaps you could modify the 22k.io site (and browser extensions?) to check for json and act accordingly? (It should also support the existing method of course). Also anybody who might be developing nxt clients using aliases as account numbers.

This approach is incompatible with URI standard. U should use "multiple:{...}" or something like that.

Can you give an example?

Or, if something was preprended to this string would it then become compatible?

E.g.:


(not saying that's a good choice of name - just to illustrate the concept)

That is the original link....drexme only started the thread....it's automatically updated once a new client comes out

No.
