The road to mass adoption - Ease of site creation = Widespread usage

Well using wordpress is just bunch of text, and simple picture. But they build it so overly complex with a lot of wasted resources! It cost money to put data in the network, so it incentive people to NOT to put junk data and save money. This means javascript. The majority of websites will be static, and hopefully remain that way. I actually believe that Javascript will be user side, and therefore have more customization for their personalized UI, which is a overlay on top of the static website. The static websites can provide a download button, a javascript source to the user, and see their nicely done UI.

A dynamically UI that allows interaction between users on top of the static websites.We could communicate, buy, sell, rate in real time inside of dynamic system. It needs a place for JIT inside of the network, where everybody contribute bits of their resources into. Something like ethereum has done. EVM + solidify. It places between blocks, and users. Perhaps JIT should always be in cache level.

Something that you guys made me think about is that we would certainly need the equivalent to a “Comments Section”. However I think it needs to be different.

Think of all of the ways that comments are made.

  • Youtube comment section
  • Yahoo news comment section
  • Forums
  • Reddit comments
  • Blog comment section

Each have varying degrees of immediacy, proximity, and quality - and I’m trying to find a relationship between those characteristics.

Which are seen in conjunction with the content? Which are provided by another party along with the content? Which are the most informative about the content?

What makes a happy medium among involvement, attachment, and quality?

Sorry! I had totally forgotten about this comment.

As @happybeing replied - yes, that’s totally possible.

However, the philosophically-charged hypothetical that I was asking was directly relating to sharing inside of the Network.

The question is, what is the motivation behind the person’s website and who will the entering users be? Many small business people have a basic static site (I make my living providing small business with printed materials so know them well), then there are the blogs, the commerce sites and the social sites.

I would think a small business platform would be a really good one to start with. Pretty basic. Typical dentist or service company. Most of my clients have a basic page or 4 with the company info, hours, services and contact info.
Blogs would be the second category.

Depends on the context I believe. There are so many examples to take from. My analysis is that opinion driven material and exhibitionism would garner the most beneficial commentary (i.e . Articles, youtube videos, selfies, etc). Factual data or observational findings benefit little from unfettered social commentary. Useful insight for this would easily be inundated by irrelevant comments and verbose rejection of the data. Sifting through thousands of comments for useful material would be tedious and impractical. Even worse and somewhat contradictive to my suggestion of filtering (in regards to latter social medium) is that legitimate arguments could be rejected by the admin to manipulate public knowledge by hiding flaws or truths.

I’m on with the idea that social interaction is the way to go. If I can’t share cat videos, it’s not worth my time. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Seriously, I would change my username to “cat videos” if I could.

Facebook is amazing, Twitter is amazing. YouTube is amazing. There are only a few things they don’t do right, and those may be the way towards a significant initial user base. I already mentioned in another post: teens leave Facebook because it isn’t private enough. They are also early adopters. This could be used.

Having to pay (however little) doesn’t help here. Maybe as part of the price of a $.50 app?


As for static sites or not, anything that is a step backwards will be seen as a weakness. Yes, static sites are awesome for almost anything. Still: “You can’t do databases? Sorry, not interested.” I don’t believe this is something to argue about, this is something to face and work out.


Today, any friction is too much friction. I can’t go around expecting people to download something just so that they can view my lousy blog. For a long time, things will need to be hosted both on SAFE and oldschool internet. Give them an http link, and have your the site try to redirect to the safe:// version, then fall back if it didn’t work. Maybe set up public proxies as gateways to the network.


Also, cat videos. :smirk_cat:

Social tokens should be given to each unique IP address to allow for transient users to interact socially on the SAFE network. These potential contributors and adopters must be reeled in by at least giving them a small sample of SAFE’s social features. This can be done by allowing any user with the add-on to PUT no more than 100MB of data given they have a unique IP address.

This is slightly susceptible to abuse but has a greater benefit than drawback. The only drawback i can see is some ass hat bouncing from computer to computer using up other peoples transient tokens thereby preventing them from using them upon future discovery of the network. IP uniqueness could be the limiting factor only for transient social token distribution. Yes this would mean that a little meta data would have to be stored on the network, but if we rely on the network to safely store everything else, why not this?

The only data that would be stored is:

IP address (of course encrypted distributed and only accessible by the network)

Reward boolean’s like:

Has IP recieved transient social tokens? Yes or No.

If so how much used? 36MB of 100MB

Messeges sent = 24 or 150

Could this work?

Love it. :joy:
