  People constantly told OP that, but they just won’t stop making posts about it

  Not that the blockchain itself is a Bad idea, but after like a year or 2 of becoming popular it will be impossible for anyone to have a locally stored coin because they will be just multiple petabytes big

    Plebbit is not a blockchain, it’s P2P and all content on the network is content addressable. There’s nothing to “sync”

  The reason why we picked Blockchain name systems is because they’re the only way of having a full control over a name. There are lot of examples online with people getting their DNS revoked. What do you think the problem is with blockchain components?

  Also, blockchain are only used for resolving names, which is a small part of Plebbit, the rest of stack is P2P.

  I’m a little confused on this point. I took a look at their whitepaper and it says that they’re not using blockchain at all. It’s some sort of proprietary peer to peer algorithm. Is this something that changed in implementation? I’m not really familiar with this project so I’m certainly not trying to defend anything, just unclear as to why people are calling it a blockchain project specifically.

    I completely lost interest for the project at this point of the text

    If community owners want to set a blockchain name like hello.eth or hello.sns it’s possible, but it’s optional.

    but it’s run by a DAO that operates using a governance token, which is not exactly great.

    What is the problem with DAOs? I think they’re a great way of facilitating coordination between anons on the internet
