Bro. I'm pretty sure you can't reserve names on a site like this.
I actually advocated that @Bevan would reserve some rather than letting random people squat and sell them... not his cup of tea.

Happy to post my first Peep!
Happy to see it.
Welcome @Joel

I was thinking specifically of Gab but I was hesitant to name it. It's a bit of a dumpster fire if you ask me.
Well, now... that's a very kind description!
(From what I've heard others say.)

Hopefully Steemit has published some research in that area. TBH I’d rather receive spam than have an algorithm attempt to control what I see and don’t see.
You should have that choice - and other people should be able to dial up the algo/mods. One size fits all shouldn't be a thing when it comes to information delivery.

I like the Thrill Seekers moniker very much. Might have to "borrow" that description..
"borrow" away!
Welcome to Peepeth. Glad to have ya.

The @MyCrypto link def cleared it up, thanks!! Really appreciate it.
That team does good work!
Glad I could point you in the right direction.
Replying to @gregory (0x39c7bc5496f4eaaa1ff75d88e079c22f0519e7b9)
@wgmeets @callmegwei I've got a video on this topic in case you're interested http://www.dappuniversity.com/videos/pojXyMPrjO0
YES! We are interested. I'll be sure to link to you in my (eventual) article on gas for those who prefer video.
Love what you're doing!
Replying to @markjr (0xebe7ccc5a0d656ad3a153afa3d543160b2e9edfb)
Interesting. Hope this place turns out to be a better alternative to Twitter than other attempts.
I think it's off to a good start. Lots of sharp people showed up early, and that may help the brainstorming process around here if/when issues arise.
Welcome!
Replying to @balibebas (0x1f1c2bcae0505db4fb9c51305af8baa976c26af4)
I get the joke. But whatever you do please don’t do what Twitter did otherwise I wouldn’t be here. Censorship of speech is unacceptable and it’s my belief Peepeth can go much further than Twitter if it focuses on: 1. Positive reinforcement. 2. Keeping it fucking real.
Don't worry - unless I roll-my-own frontend I don't have much say about Peepeth policies, lol. Dealing with spam will be a thing - and hopefully it is very granular in most cases. I am a little excited to see how it all evolves though...

Who said there's no honesty among scammers? https://ponzischeme.io/
There have been all kinds of "honest" scams popping up lately. Quite a few of them have "accidentally" lost user funds to "hacks" - I advise people against participating...
Is regular crypto market volatility not enough, you thrill seekers? ;-)
Replying to @wgmeets (0x6e63a4caeccb4f341ee9c9175c9cc554bdb6d10b)
@callmegwei Do you have anything that explains gas? I looked on your site but didn't see it and wondering if I missed it somehow.
Can you let me know if it makes things crystal clear, or if you still have any questions? @tay and @spence would probably also be interested in the feedback.

@callmegwei Do you have anything that explains gas? I looked on your site but didn't see it and wondering if I missed it somehow.
I don't have an article devoted to that yet. I need to write one.
I will have to direct you to this explanation by @MyCrypto (for now):

Well hello Peepeth community, its amazing that I didn't hear about this before, but so far everything looks great.
How did you end up hearing about it? Care to share?
Replying to @BradyDale (0x11160b379555dcb6d7269e4612bbadd16242db31)
Doesn't matter if you're logged in. If there's a cookie with your ID they can follow you all over. That "like" button everyone puts on their websites? That's a tracker. Even if you don't click it, it sees who you are.

2/2 They offer 'cloud mining' and seem to be huge. He sent me a 'business presentation' (another dude giving a bullshit speech about earning possibilities on an unlisted youtube channel) and made an appointment with me for a 'call with an expert'. Any ideas on how to play this?
Ask him to post on Peepeth? - So we get to start practicing how best to deal with spam?
Replying to @Lion (0x3833d757b8bc418bcec546ced8f444bf7bdfec33)
Welcome! yes, memes are always encouraged :)
So is crypto news? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tweet tweet! We're now live on #Peepeth -- come Peep with me.
Welcome! Glad to have you.

You had me at memes! (This would've made more sense if you said memes first...)
Community comedian! YES!
(There are memes posted every once in a while, so if you weren't joking... you won't be disappointed.)
Glad to see some new faces! Welcome.

(5) End of Peepstorm (first Peepstorm?)
Thanks again @balresch ! Looking forward to writing stuff and being a voice in this space for a long time to come.

(4) The site has been slow to "ramp up". Other obligations get in the way. The community support keeps me going - that and the fact that I truly want this tech to take over the world.
It's easier to write when you feel like you're making a difference.
Your support means a lot.

(3) In reality, building a site that generates revenue takes a long time. And probably more content than a lone author can create - assuming he has high standards. After an awesome and quite unexpected donation of 5.5 ETH from Vitalik shortly after I started six months ago...

(2) I had been distilling what I was absorbing about the space anyway for family and friends. I decided to devote myself to helping people "get it" - why crypto was about so more than speculation. In my dreams, I get to do this work exclusively, I love it.

(1) You didn't tag me in this peep... but I got an e-mail and recognized the name. This means a lot to me; thank you.
In October of last year I finally got tired of sending people links about crypto and them telling me they still "didn't get it" --- this space can be confusing.
Replying to @bob (0xed3c6bcaaee02ed5ed572f87d36c4cc7d2f2bdef)
Welcome @boris! The cool thing about peeps is in their permanence versus the fleeting nature of tweets. It takes some getting used to, but the lack of a delete and edit button may be incentive to craft more thoughtful content rather than the mindless splatter seen other places.
"mindless splatter"
Your sir... are a poet... (not just a whale)...
Truthfully, this is a critical point - and artfully articulated.
Replying to @spence (0x29b1b943102bf57cd63acf0be8582602297cb64e)
Great work @CallMeGwei!
Thank you @spence - that means a lot coming from someone who has contributed so much to the space.
Replying to @HashingItOut (0x2942577508e060ea092c0cd7802ae42c1cea2bae)
Great writeup on what I think could be come a widely used dApp. I put my username in respective reddit post, sorry for spam. I feel we're quite aligned, we should chat.
You can find me on Toshi - same username. Would love to chat sometime.
Replying to @boris (0xa8c7372dc993d7510c9c45425807d463967cbb12)
Great! Multiple front ends is not quite the same thing as federation (like Mastodon). We'll have to see what evolves where there is "centralization" of data on the central Ethereum chain where federation isn't needed.
I knew you'd come around...
Just kidding - hey, it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out, no matter what. In the meantime we can all have some good discussions about the space.
Replying to @boris (0xa8c7372dc993d7510c9c45425807d463967cbb12)
Same opp cost for scalable web app devs in the early 2000s. I am not saying Peepeth is bad -- I am saying the way forward as a single site with lots of users is unlikely, so what can be done to federate, like Mastodon. Lowering the cost - it's open source?
The smart contracts will be open source. The goal is multiple front ends sharing users, content, etc. (and logins - since controlled by wallets).
Check out Peepeth.com/front_end
There has already been alt POC front end written:

Zero barrier to entry to someone building yet-another-twitter clone. What reason other than "it's on the blockchain" and early adopter usage? Tweet length content tends to be very ephemeral, so it has less reason to be on a blockchain than other systems
Anyway, glad to have you Boris. Every community needs it's fair share of skeptics!

The more frontends sharing that backend - the more valuable it gets.
Reasons? Less spam and higher quality content if all goes well. Not to mention the possibility of taking some power away from the current social media behemoths and increasing competition in the space.

The barrier to entry is not zero - ask @Bevan how many hours it takes on the backend. Opportunity cost alone for solidity devs is high. He is lowering the cost of building out future clones - and in so doing providing some strong incentives to share backends between projects.

It deserves to be.

Yesterday! Right here in southern California (USA). Btw - the dive was part of my "just one more year" / overcoming-suicide project, which has spurred me to do many things I always wanted to try: https://medium.com/@zoedolan/how-crypto-saved-my-life-8647aa3aad09
Awesome. Thanks for sharing with the world!
Replying to @james (0xb89465f04caf9334d3d116637ac2a9c4aa8dcff6)
It is fun to think about the inevitable embeddable dapps that will come to Peepeth. From your feed you could play with your CK, vote on a proposal for your Aragon DOA, make a 0x trade, etc.
THIS 👌
Replying to @pluma (0xd9fb1d684627a890347a4f6a7fe32e993617b6d8)
i had read about akasha some months ago but never joined the beta (there was tons of noise about, well, just about anything and everything back then and i was merely stumbling around trying to make sense of it). can you expand on why you think *this* platform may not last?
I'd like to hear it, too, @boris
The app I had to install/run to use Akasha kinda turned me off. I, personally, have great optimism for a network of Twitter clones sharing an open data store.
Replying to @james (0xb89465f04caf9334d3d116637ac2a9c4aa8dcff6)
Nice one!
Thanks @james
Lots of peeple might never know, but I will always remember - you paved the way with Leeroy.
Replying to @Lion (0x3833d757b8bc418bcec546ced8f444bf7bdfec33)
Been trying to focus more on gratitude and positive thinking and weeks back someone on peepeth posted about "The Five Minute Journal," so I've been trying it and loving it. I wish I could remember who posted theirs, but thank you to whoever did!
It was @john
Can one of you explain a little more about it?
Replying to @zoe (0xfed25267df17bfab23a1f8a26802674769d28c7b)
Thank you for reminding me to recover mine!
@zoe... where was the skydiving pic taken? Is it recent?
Did you have your seed words some place safe and accessible to family if something had happened?
Very cool to have a fearless Peeper on here! :-)
Replying to @zoe (0xfed25267df17bfab23a1f8a26802674769d28c7b)
No -- I meant tweet -- the "verification" tweet that shows up on Twitter with the address that links to the Peepeth identity. I see them from people I follow on Twitter and want to follow them here, too.
Apologies! I misunderstood the issue.
Clear now - and makes total sense. 😳
Replying to @BradyDale (0x11160b379555dcb6d7269e4612bbadd16242db31)
There's a part of me that sort of wishes you would... as a reporter, I'd love to see someone successfully run micropayments cc: @callmegwei
I think we need scaling, honestly. Peepeth is cheap for many, especially given the gas costs lately - but it needs to be even cheaper for a large part of the world. This is doubly true if you're going to skim a little off every transaction to fund the site.
It will get there.
Replying to @CallMeGwei (0x285bc660aa42b8effc6c60357cd4d8ca072be625)
Hey Peeple - I'm trying to spread awareness for the Peepeth platform... again on reddit, but this time /r/ethereum Check it out - chime in with what you love about Peepeth! https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/8cgysu/an_intro_to_peepeth_the_real_crypto_twitter_and/
Thanks for the tip @adam
And thank you to everyone that is supporting Peepth on reddit.
Replying to @zoe (0xfed25267df17bfab23a1f8a26802674769d28c7b)
Gotcha. Maybe it would also be helpful -- fwiw -- if the corresponding tweet could also share the person's handle? I just want to make sure that I connect with people -- and my Twitter (on mobile) doesn't allow copy/paste for long addresses, etc. Thank you!
"tweet"?!?! Oh no! "peep" - it's peep!

Anyone having trouble getting their backlog of actions to be added to the blockchain? I’ve tried saving these 16 actions like 6-7 times now with max gas price.
If you are stuck and unable to post reach out to me on Toshi and I can help you troubleshoot... same username...
Replying to @BradyDale (0x11160b379555dcb6d7269e4612bbadd16242db31)
Up-voted. So the monetization model for Peepeth is ultimately to charge folks a tiny amount as they use it, right? That seems totally fair and also pretty interesting, from a micro-payments standpoint
Hopefully @Bevan chimes in, but the monetization model is still being expanded, I think. So far Peepeth takes 10% of tips on the site, the fee for verification on Twitter also generates revenue - as do "founders" badges, which are given out for donations of 1+ ETH...
Replying to @james (0xb89465f04caf9334d3d116637ac2a9c4aa8dcff6)
Sidechains are super cool but mostly allow for value generated in a network (e.g. tips, tokens) to be captured and transferred to the main chain. The actual content (e.g. posts) stored on a sidechain would not be as secure as content anchored directly on Ethereum.
Thank you for that, @james. I was considering the implications of these developments. If a sidechain dApp is not quite as secure - could it be "secure enough"? I have no idea... I suppose it depends primarily on the cost differential? Tell us more!
Replying to @pluma (0xd9fb1d684627a890347a4f6a7fe32e993617b6d8)
incoming "i hate the name" comments, lol. people are so superficial. i love the name and i hope it will be the main face of the platform forever. thanks for x-posting this to reddit, it's how i found #peepeth originally. #signalboost
Yeah, lots of name bashing. I rather like the name - it's clever how it dovetails with Twitter and lets me talk about my Peeple on the blockchain.

If you have 16 backlogged actions, how can you post again? What browser are you using?
Replying to @joonian (0x990109670056e7645d295fcbaf41e2505bd69ea7)
What are people using to Peep? I’m on Cipher. And this prep was so important I locked it.
I'm using the Brave browser on desktop and #trust on mobile.
