I plan to create a new forum engine for the local community in Geminispace.
Here are my thoughts on the following features:
- Titan input by default (for Cyrillic text)
- Decentralized, open database on the blockchain (KevaCoin)
The second point has me thinking about how to properly save username and public key pairs using user certificate authorization. Can I store this key publicly, or should I use a fingerprint? The fingerprint is a hash of the handshake, essentially obfuscated data. Is it safe to present the user's public key to everyone (on the blockchain) to recover the data and spin up a new instance when the first one goes down and its server key is definitively lost?

How would it differ from the current foruns/BBS already available?
你为什么需要titan来输入西里尔字母？

pista,
I have always envied the Chinese in just one thing: they can record, probably, the largest volume of characters in bytes. Hieroglyphs might work as the best lossless compressor.
I always wanted to ask if hieroglyphs are truly lossless?
Every language family is a little bit lossy, just in different ways. Various tenses, genders, and situational implications etc...
Translating between languages in four different families can have similar effects on a thought as sending a FLAC file through Ogg, MP3, AAC, and WMA. Translators do their best to fill the gaps with varying results.
