Inspiration
The great forums of the internet; Reddit, BitcoinTalk, Steemit.
What it does
Provides a non discriminant platform for global communication. Since it's based off the blockchain, communication is transparent, pseudo-anonymous and decentralized. This enables open conversation and freedom of expression for everybody. Further implementation of channels expands upon the concept, and allows users to start topic-focused conversations.
How we built it
Blockchain: Ethereum Backend: Solidity, Web3, TestRPC, Frontend: ReactJS + Redux
Challenges we ran into
- A ton.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Even more
What we learned
We gained a more robust understanding of Solidity for blockchain and the web3 Javascript API.
What's next for ChatChain
- Possibility to expand into a fully-featured newsroll with forums, similar to Reddit
- Further support for anonymous protocols such as the "Dark Comms" supported by Whisper.
