The Ethereum blockchain support smart contract, therefore to interact with them you need to fill a "data form" in your transaction Because you can fill in with the hexa you want (in any transaction), you can "write", and upload anything you want. The site [4]etherscan.io can display the ASCII, for example here (it's written "Hi here") : [5]https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/tx/0x00bfab09b0c950967b252c10f50ea0c 2d65af39e1289feb7057805f12a3753bd Not my code but here is a JavaScript client using the etherscan API : [6]https://pastebin.com/8GfHAQQm Howerer because it's expensive (the more data you upload the expensive it is) I guess people would talk on one of the ethereum test net (on rinkeby you can get a dozen of ether for free, enough to talk for a while) (ethereum or another one it doesn't matter) I guess next generation of Internet puzzle (like CICADA3301) will be upload on blockchains instead of twitter I found the concept "cool" therefore seeking for your feedback being not a cypherpunk > On 19 Feb 2018, at 12:56, sergey <[7]jahr@bk.ru> wrote: > > Can you explain how it is working, please? > > >> On 19.02.2018 09:48, Valentin Pasquale wrote: >> A friend showed my that : [8]https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x402011f50057a2c4da098b063f 698b4fbebfb88c >> Which is someone trying to seek for people to talk with on the blockchain >> >> Anyone here tried that ? >> Is it a better form of mailing list for you cypher punks against censorship or whatever ?. > I'm remembering when it was discovered that Internet Exlpoder engineers put some padding text in their code that read: "netscape engineers are weenies", and sniggering. Like that? But using blockchain code. I believe he’s talking about ethereum smart contracts. They’re kind of neat, there is a lot of how to stuff on the web... I don’t really see them replacing a mailing list though ;) Rr References 1. mailto:g2s@riseup.net 2. mailto:valentin.pasquale@orange.fr 3. mailto:cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org 4. http://etherscan.io/ 5. https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/tx/0x00bfab09b0c950967b252c10f50ea0c2d65af39e1289feb7057805f12a3753bd 6. https://pastebin.com/8GfHAQQm 7. mailto:jahr@bk.ru 8. https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x402011f50057a2c4da098b063f698b4fbebfb88c
