Chatting via blockchain transactions is also not free, and this may discourage some people from using this solution
It should cost MORE...
The next step is a pay to play matrix:element
Chatroom that can be used like Discord with the fees going to the server Hosts and not to the CIA as is the case with discord 🥓
Great achievement though so far!
in practice, it costs the same as comments, i.e. 0.400 BLURT per kilobyte. More kb more blurt. These 0.001 is just the minimum amount you need to send to someone to make a transaction possible
Right!
And actually that .001 Transfer is just going back and forth between the chatters...
If they build the chat to use unpublished comments then the .4 BLURT fees will get burned up... I think that this burning of fees over chat will have a unique effect... Pay to Post Chat.
And I agree that some shitty nerds broke IT a second time by overprinting BLURT and sitting on it like someone else owes them an award or something.
🥓
This is how the network will eventually "earn" in some way for itself because it has a service that is desirable but does not generate any tokens (you have to pay for comments, but in practice many of them are rewarded with upvotes) and only burns tokens, which in practice translates to less tokens in the pool and on the market and a slightly higher price. Now we need to get more users here. When it gets crowded here, more people will have a reason to use this chat.
👍
I hate crowds 😐
🥓
so then we wil create special frontend for outsiders :D
Polish community have chat on Matrix, so feel free to promote bridge for global chat :P
I concur Doctor 🖖
What's matrix?
I haven't used discord in years. And didn't even use it when I DID use it, just a couple conversations with Steem people. Then I got upset when they went woke, and updated their TOS to say they own your device and everything on it. But you can't delete or uninstall it if you had a room, which I did. So I have discord forever even though I don't want it. I haven't opened it in more than a year.
I don't use Matrix often but it is a type of messaging that gives users better control.
Ultimately I think a these graphene chains (STEEM, hiv, BLURT) should be using the feature of the chain to build a group chat. Matrix could be used this way... Eventually 🤬

I like the idea of features that don't use 3rd party software, websites, services, etc. Having chat as part of the blockchain really appeals to me. Of course, blockchains have a degree of openness, and might not be the right place for private messages. Either they're open for public viewing, or they'll be cracked sooner or later. So I wouldn't type out my darkest fantasies in there :P I did enough of that back on yahoo and msn 20 years ago...
