This gets me thinking about encryption, you know how memos are encrypted right? Well you could theoretically encrypt most of the text in a post except for an introduction abstract, and only those who subscribe will be given the decoding key, would also be interesting to tie content push features into the blurt blog UI, example allowing users the ability to subscribe via email and get email notifs when new content is posted, or auto post to twitter, Discord, Slack etc much like how the git integration works. A whole marketing management suite on the Blog would add tremendous value and make Blurt the Nexus of all your social media distribution, what do you think?
It could be done though I would suggest to you that you won't be able to control who gets access to those decryption keys, I guarantee you they will be leaked and there is no way around that.
It really would require an entirely different model of distributed system to do what Jake is proposing. Something more like a chat messaging network, where the user pays and they get delivered the article encrypted to a fresh key per user.
I'm sure I could design a protocol that would do the job. I have wanted to build an instant messaging system for some time, maybe incorporating the Tachyon 'Portal' payment system hosts running nodes can be remunerated.
I don't think there is any way around the security requirement that the users content has to be kept under the control of the creator of the content, but that can be outsourced for them to make things simple.
indeed nothing is free, either one pays through selling one's valuable personal data (TW, FB etc), via annoying adverts, via a stake (HIVE, EOS) or via small transaction fees (BLURT!). One might imagine premium blogging services offered by BLURT blockchain, where these higher fees would benefit witnesses, reward pool, stake holders etc. think blogging services such premium markup, faster TX, promotions, higer res images, premium search engine. just thinking here.
Great thoughts, thank you.
Would you prefer to pay in Fiat or crypto, or both?
