NKN introduces D-Chat: A server-less, secure and private chat for individuals and groups.

Unlike any other mainstream consumer chat applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or WeChat, D-Chat does not use or rely on a single centralized server. The entire application lives on your browser plug-in, and all your data are safe on your own device.

And in contrast to many blockchain based chat applications, D-Chat uses off-chain data transmission instead of on-chain data. This means we can send any number of messages and even large image files (up to 4MB), without worrying about blockchain data limit or consensus time.

---

Could we have an actual alternative to centralized and insecure chat applications? Imagine if this was improved to be more user friendly in the future, with better integration for the end user and smartphone apps.

In the meantime 98% of the other shitcoins have nothing to show even if their lives depend on it. Reminder this is just one of NKN real world usecases, with many more available soon like nCDN and TUNA.

Comfy.

Ok but when is this useless shitcoin going to do anything other than dump

[Anonymous No.16099862]

if so, why is the exchange actions so slow?

[Anonymous No.16099868]

the serverless multiplayer game i think was more intriguing. not sure why they didn't continue developing that. maybe they did.

[Anonymous No.16099894]

>>16099868
The game was community made and would still work but needs porting over from testnet to main and that hasn't yet been done.

>>16099862
No advertising as of yet :(. The team are working away on clients for nCDN which is important, but it means there's very little marketing going on. I'm taking the chance to buy what I can while cheap, because as soon as this starts getting picked up properly and shared around, we'll have consistent green dildos coming our way. When that'll be however, I'm unsure.

Baseless P&D's are over since 2018, kids. You want to be in stuff playing the longterm game, which will be based on having a working product.
Otherwise go buy the next Howdoo and tell me how that goes.

>>16099868
They are. Should be deployed by Q2 2020 if I'm not mistaken.

Yes. 100K is the perfect bag for retiring in 2 years.

but in all honesty, the coin is fucking worthless, for a very, very long time.

>a forum feature, which would work like a distributed forum, where creating a thread would cost a coin or two, and the coins would be paid to anybody that is sharing the board data to other users, so as to incentivize the distributed part.

yet another vaporware zero chan alternative

Actually the main FUD I can come up with is this. Just why is the token needed. Since their complete work is done offchain. What stops any third company to copy this model a replicate it exactly as they are, dropping blockchain altogether.

[Anonymous No.16101355]

>>16101302
You need to incentivize the nodes to stay in the network. All other p2p networks except TOR have turned to dust because nobody runs a node.
Found this info graph on the gitlab page.

Are you missing the point where they have a massive and global nCDN which can deliver content at 50ms anywhere on the planet and has better through-put than CloudFlare?

[Anonymous No.16101487]

>>16101461
What they have is a centralized app and that they've not disclosed how it works, at all.
I would not be getting hopium from that. It is all so backwards that it hurts. And I think it will hurt.

> oh no. a business making money with a centralised app, on top of a decentralised network. We're all doomed.

[Anonymous No.16101808]

>>16101487
What exactly is this centralized app?
afaik, only centralized thing is their fiat-gateway managed by NKN company. It is meant for the big clients who don't want to buy tokens in order to buy NKN services. This 'centralized' thing is necessary for gaining adoption among companies.

[Anonymous No.16101841]

>>16101808
The entire nCDN node part is centralized. There's a thread on the forums where they quickly admitted that.
the software that enables nCDN in a node is likely gonna be closed source

[Anonymous No.16101867]

>>16101355
Urbit is doing the same thing and integrating LN and Ethereum which is much better than using some illiquid shitcoin for these kinds of payments

>The entire nCDN node part is centralized.
That doesn't make any sense. nCDN (like any other service/mining) nodes in NKN network are run by community.
>the software that enables nCDN in a node is likely gonna be closed source
And this is your assumption.

[Anonymous No.16101901]

>>16101883
I'm just repeating what they said, man. It makes just as little sense to me. Which is why I'm not putting any hope on this enterprise. The chances of anything remarkable are low.
They've communicated so poorly that I'm going to assume it's gonna be shit.

nCDN is a closed application. But it still run over a decentralised network. nCDN self-serve client Beta should open this week or next, which means anyone with a website can test it out for their content delivery.

Dude, the fucking coordinator basically makes the cdn work, and it's centralized.
It's a fucking sham

i dont care about dchat. but im comfy in yanbo

[Anonymous No.16102074]

>>16102047
Lol what? How the customer control of its own content / traffic monitoring customization is a bad thing. How can that even be decentralized? Content owner has to give an input how their content is delivered and used etc.. The network itself is still decentralized and run fully by community which is the most relevant thing here.

[Anonymous No.16102077]

>>16102056
That seems to be the case for everybody. I mean, the chat works quite well, and if it had more than 1 person developing it, it would be very good in a very short time.
But everybody goes "binance wen," "ncdn wen," "moon wen," and rubs off their dick.
Because NKN_ORG has done NOTHING to attract developers, this thing is still at fucking 2 cents.

[Anonymous No.16102089]

>>16102074
You will need to bend over and kindly ask Yanbo to insert his 2" dick inside your anus to have nCDN work for you.
