RE: Note: Decentralized Blogging Is Hot Right Now!

Pretty great share, mate. I can see those missing ingredients being a turn-off for me, at least in the case of moving, or maybe putting more focus on a dedicated blog rather than posting in on Hive. As you say, it's pretty much every blog tied onto one platform that we can move between back and forth. I think that's more appealing to most people, though I could be wrong. Besides, it's this recipe that makes sites like Reddit and Medium so addictive to use.

I believe there's a similar initiative as well, in the form of dblog. It's a service that lets you run your own blogs, while using the Hive Blockchain. I've been keen to have a go, but again, not sure if its worth the effort to put away from Hive.blog or Peakd.

As far as I understood, dblog connects your blog to Hive blockchain, and does not host it.
So if you post something through your blog (while being connected to the dblog service), it will post the same content to HIve as well. I think its pretty cool, but in the end, you still have to host your domain on a centralized server.
I think this is where unstoppabledomains come... because they host the domain on a decentralized server. (I want to explore more, as I'm pretty new in these stuff, please let me know if you have any leads.)

Right.

I will be getting mine this week. Let's see. Stuck on a good domain name. The reason I wrote this was to show how the company is making big moves (receiving funding too).

It also assures 100% privacy (hosting-wise, profile-wise, and domain-wise). For lifetime, this is a pretty sweet deal. (Though, note that hosting space is very less I heard).

Sure!
I'd love to see, do let me know once you are done :D
I'm curious to see those in action. I'm also interested to start my own blog on them soon....

Cheers for the comments @beehivetrader and @sidwrites. I'm still kinda new to this, so unfortunately I can only learn and not preach XD! And now, I know more about how dblog works from you two. I guess if I'm going full-time, or perhaps when I'll be taking this to the next level, I might consider getting my own domain.

However, unstoppable domain lists sites with a .crypto, not .com, right? In that case, aren't only a few browsers or search engines able to list those sites? I can't imagine that having a good effect on SEO, especially not since Hive's around and growing with popularity. Still, it's a pretty neat concept, and I hope this takes off well :-)

(Edited)

I came to know about unstoppabledomains last week. Didnt check that time.
I checked today only.
To access those domains, you need to install a small extension, since they are on blockchain.
Like for example: To access your Ethereum account, you need an extension like Metamask,
Same for that Unstoppabledomain. Its just like you are accessing the blockchain (In layman terms)

This is all I understood when I checked them out.
It works fine, and as expected, (on my chrome and Brave browser).
and as for SEOs, well, I'm really not sure how that will work on content created and stored on the blockchain.

(Also they can be accessed from Opera browser on Android as of now.)
If browsers support this, I believe we can see good adoption in these things. A very nice initiative by people behind unstoppabledomains I must say

Here's what happened after I installed the extension and opened a site:
note: for example, I want to access ama.crypto.
First you need to type https://ama.crypto
if you dont type https, it may not work, ad may take you to search engine results.

Next: It happened in less than a second, (I was fast enough to take a screen snip lol)

Notice that the extension fired up

Final step:

you can see that you are able to access the site. (everything happened in a few seconds)

I should have written a post on this lmao. this got big :P

Cheers :-D

It's something that I'll have to give a go sometime, just to see what's what. It would be great for mass-adoption if mainstream browsers could access .crypto domains by standard, and search engines like Google could pick it up for SEO as well. I don't know how the technology works, and how complex integrating that would be.

I can see that this is pretty much the future that we're looking at, and currently domains like this are very much nascent tech. Even with how fast Blockchain development is growing, it might take a few years for domains this to take off, though hopefully I'm wrong. I do hope more people start using it soon, and we'll see how it grows :-)
