When I was still active on Twitter (account doesn't exist anymore), I tweeted everyday about music, music quotes, music related events on that day in the past years... but also funny memes and other stuff. Thinking about rebooting this adventure here on Peepeth.

Would guess so. The Pokémon Company could send them a cease and desist letter.
They could send it to the people who own the main domain, but if it was open source who could you go after? All you need is a local copy of the website and the Ethereum blockchain does the rest.

This new Pokémon-style game look neat, but man they need to lower the prices. Will not start to play until it's a few cents per Poké Ball batch. http://etherpokemon.com/
If this was copyright and trademark infringement, would they be able to shut it down?

Game kind of creeped me out. Music is pretty good though.

Terms and conditions from various different apps.
Every time I see anything about a EULA I wonder if they will eventually found to be unenforcible. If something is unreasonably difficult to read and is universally not read by anyone, how could this failed practice continue to be the basis for legal matters?

I was using Cipher. Now I'm using Trust because I like new features.
I have both Cipher and Trust on my iPad. I try to keep using both just so I’m completely familiar. I find myself gravitating towards Trust more often. The UI flow is a little more streamlined for regular usage.

@CallMeGwei After thinking about this a while more I now think there might be some scenarios where the website model could be less expensive through decentralization. The key is it wouldn't be blockchain based.
A low traffic and low redundancy static website on a distributed network such as IPFS with Filecoin could, in theory, become less expensive than private hosting one day. The key here is the costs are subsidized by excess capacity that is dumped onto a grid.
Replying to @jm9k (0xa7bd09daab3eb5ec96f04914d94c47681489d604)
The #1 would probably be internet websites. They are basic information or commerce. Hosting on a single server on a monthly basis is very cheap compared to storing every change forever on a redundant blockchain.

@Shigako - Thank you! My Monday is getting better. Just needed a bit of tea. Learning IPFS. Fascinating! My first page on IPFS: https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmY5tZtyefeTF5ayrAHqRhLNZ1ig9jKZrBFhU6XktCmtLg. And I'm getting into this all due to Peepeth. Thanks Peepeth!

I promise you, even the little guys have a ledger. No business can function without monitoring profit and loss. Anecdotally, small obscure Caribbean countries already have the little guys using crypto. One example would be Dominica (greater Antilles, not Dominican republic)
I know they have a ledger. It's called Quickbooks. Using an extremely expensive distributed ledger brings less value than it costs. There is a big differentiation between using cryptocurrency and adopting globally distributed blockchains directly in your business.

Replying to @davjdav (0x083dc4ac009e5d2d89fc1ef3e2e125d3b15509ef)
Yes, I’m some respects it does. Except I have always thought an advantage if the length limits is that it incentivizes brevity and clarity in posts. Thanks for clarifying your position. I’m going to have to think more about this.
One suggestion from another user was to allow longer messages, but that longer messages will require higher fees. Not at all a bad idea, but largely unenforceable in a truly decentralized platform.

Thanks for sharing your post. It’s the perfect excuse I need to try tipping for the first time. While it’s not a lot, it should pay for a few peeps.
I appreciate it all the same. Thank you kindly.

I believe that the short message limits on Twitter are an antiquated feature with no real purpose since Twitter is no longer dependant on SMS messages. I have argued that Peepeth should remove these hard limits so that more meaningful discussions and post can occur without having
to break up a single thought into many difficult to follow messages. Doesn't this seem silly?
Replying to @jm9k (0xa7bd09daab3eb5ec96f04914d94c47681489d604)
The aspect of decentralization in a conversation platform, even one that isn't serious, is very important. Even though filtration will eventually be required, it doesn't restrict it to any central authority. The ability to silence voices with bias is removed.

A serious topic which requires serious thought typically cannot be explained in a couple sentences. In essence, I believe that "micro-blogging" is somewhat of a misnomer for what it actually is. It's a platform for conversation, not actually blogging.

On platforms like Twitter and Facebook is it believed that this kind of censorship occurs regularly. I tend to agree with it, even if at an unintentional algorithmic level. However, I don't see either platform as a true platform for something "serious". I'll explain...

Fair, but if the primary value of decentralization is avoiding censorship, etc. then presumably someone is saying something of value that someone else would like to censor. It seems unlikely that Big Brother will care about removing cat pics (with all due respect to the felines!)

Is it strange that I love paying to Peep? I’ll have to think more about this, but #micropayments make so much sense. It also incentivizes saying something meaningful. If only there were micro-micropayments to read posts, then there would be a real social media economy.
Yes, the possibility of micropayments and nanopayments are an extremely important aspect of cryptocurrency! This is part of the third reason in this blog post I wrote about Peepeth:

Replying to @d2r2 (0x25551cdc379e74f36da97acdf81212c459fb9e67)
I agree, at least ideally. But in reality, this space will have all the sparbage of Twitter etc. The difference to me is not impermanence vs permanence, it's centralization vs decentralization.
This is exactly what I was trying to put into words. Decentralization is the key aspect. I also don't think it's realistic to increase the seriousness or quality of micro-blog posts. There are better mediums for that.
Replying to @davjdav (0x083dc4ac009e5d2d89fc1ef3e2e125d3b15509ef)
So while I personally don’t ususally have much to say that I think is worth saving for very long. How about reporting events or posting photos that are worth archiving? I feel much more comfortable with this idea.
That's a good idea, but that doesn't really fit in with "micro-blogging".
Replying to @davjdav (0x083dc4ac009e5d2d89fc1ef3e2e125d3b15509ef)
So, it’s been a week since my first peep and I haven’t followed up with another. I’ve thought of posting, but the permanence of the post seems to have created a high bar for relevance. I think, “This doesn’t need to exist forever,” and then decide not to post.
You make a good point, and "forever" isn't really the reality of things. IPFS does not guarantee all content forever. It's the decentralized nature of Peepeth that makes it powerful.
Replying to @I_ntubate (0x5388aba17c1cbb1cc4e2810cda00054a9c471058)
The same businesses you describe will use blockchain to manage their overhead; obtain the best prices for the most cost effective (price/quality) stock, monitor inventory, and likely to manage their overall assets.
Panda Express will do that, not the little guys. Small restaurants don't operate anything like that. When the chef shows up at the fish market, the only thing he's doing is buying fish. If they ever adopt blockchain it will be the Quickbooks edition using a centralized chain.

In the spirit of being verbose - can you list some tasks that you think will remain less expensive to perform in a centralized manner? After a decentralized architecture is in place for a task - essentially outsourcing everything has to be cheaper than employees and shareholders.
Small local businesses will probably remain largely unaffected. I don't see the family-run Chinese restaurant adopting blockchain. They will likely accept crypto and their suppliers will use blockchain, but this is all transparent and indirect.

With centralized services, there is a cost to what is "free". The cost is your privacy and your perspective. On a macro level, this is an enormous cost, but it is indirect and masked to the user.
One thought I've had is that this may not be solvable with a platform that has direct costs to the user. However, it's possible that it could also be masked by absorbing the costs through inflation. ie: The EOS bandwidth model.
Replying to @jm9k (0xa7bd09daab3eb5ec96f04914d94c47681489d604)
I have to counter that point. The process of decentralizing is extremely slow and expensive. There are strong benefits that make it worth it for some tasks, but centralized organizations are inherently much more efficient and cost-effective for many tasks.

I don't think centralized orgs will be able to compete with decentralized ones in the long run. The structure is expensive. In the meantime, decentralization needs to get better at easily keeping secrets, somehow restoring access to misplaced accounts, and general ease of use.

I totally agree with the monetization aspect, but there are other ways too, like fees or treasury systems. I think a lot of things could just be handled with ETH instead of a token that has essentially the same properties. From a user perspective, for example, why use $BAT?
I suspect that ERC20 tokens will eventually exchange back and forth from ETH as needed. The process will be instant and transparent to the user.
