Greg spoke about a three pronged proposal to improve the Co-op’s communications infrastructure:
Time 24:42 (Link to Video)
- Decentralize website content via a badging system:
Dappy (https://dappy.tech/) is a decentralized distribution network that allows anyone to host files and web applications on the RChain blockchain. We will host Co-op “badged” content on our websites so that clicking on a Co-op badge will launch Dappy and display the same content on-chain. Members are encouraged to display “Co-op Badged” content on their own websites, as well as create their own badged content, beginning with “Bio Pages.” - Set up a system for members to register a REV address with the Cooperative. This address could be used for member coordination functions such as voting. Greg suggested funding each member wallet with 100 REV.
- Demonstrate blockchain enabled chat by connecting the RCat (RChain Assets Tracker) to the popular Zulip open source Chat platform.
