Are you building a new decentralized data storage service? Or are you looking to build a dapp that requires data storage? Either way I would definitely take a look at IPFS - the Inter-Planetary File System at https://ipfs.io/
In case there are any EOS fans on here or just folks who need their crypto swapped quickly and easily: ChangeNOW.io is one of the first cryptocurrency exchange services that support the upgraded EOS Mainnet! You can swap more than 150 coins to EOS with great rates in a few easy steps! Check it out!
Quickly scrolling through the whitepaper, this looks like a less impressive version of what Blockstack (https://blockstack.org/) is already doing, particularly when you consider you can already build decentralized applications on Blockstack, like, right this very second, with just a few lines of Java.

You don't have to start from scratch. Check out these links and also Github. Hope you find what you're looking for https://medium.com/crypto-currently/build-your-first-smart-contract-fc36a8ff50ca https://www.ethereum.org/greeter
Yes! I have always thought that a messaging service over the blockchain would be pretty interesting to implement. I looked into like you, and I think I found one or two more projects doing it. This was a while back though, sorry I don't have any links.
The privacy portion of this is totally legit tho, just as end to end encryption is possible on our phones now. Whatsapp had end to end encryption for messages. However, once a product gets big enough, often when they get bought out, the cool techy stuff regarding privacy gets thrown out. Whatsapp is no long end to end, but I think some other services are. https://protonmail.com/ is a great end to end encrypted email client, like gmail but they can't read your emails.
So you don't need a blockchain to do private end-to-end encryption, but you can do it on the blockchain. And if it was on the blockchain, you get the benefits of decentralized infrastructure. Pretty cool idea.
As a frontend dev you might like Lisk which lets you build blockchain applications in JavaScript. You essentially build a side chain and build your app on top of it. I really like it.
Blockchain is the name of the underlying technological concept "that maintains a continuously growing list of data records hardened against tampering and revision".
Many different technologies use this concept, most famously Bitcoin.
To get started in Blockchain development, you should pick a specific technology and go from there. You will learn the concepts most quickly through hacking on your own little project, and reading blogs of people who are involved with it.
Bitcoin would be the most obvious choice, since it will have the most mature ecosystem.
However, my suggestion would be Ethereum. Though it might be conceptually more difficult to get your head round, there are lots of good tutorials, and plenty of open source projects to look into.
Follow the tutorials on their main site and see where it leads you.
I just don't see the added value of the platform. We already have Reddit and Facebook, and most people seem very happy with that. Digg ran itself into the ground, making room for reddit. Plenty of projects have tried to challenge FB.
If I open the front page and pick the top article I see this:
626 'Likes' and 130 comments, potential payout 5,690$.
That makes my head spin. On Youtube, for example, you get about 1$ for 1000 views, in advertising revenue. Which sort of makes sense. 1000 People watch your vid, about .5%-1% click on an add. Add, depending on the type, brings in between 10-40 cents per click. So a few $ per 1000 views is not that far fetched.
Now back to the article, 626 likes, not everyone likes the aricle and not everyone that likes the article clicks the button. So let's assume 1% of the people that red the article clicked. So this means 62.600 people red it, 62.600 clicks, which is already optimistic.
Lets be generous and assume they make 5 (Five!) bucks per 1000 impressions. That still only generates 313$.
I don't know, but it seems ridiculous that an op-ed article of 622 words, red by a few ten tousands of people can be worth 5.700$.
If you can rake in so much money with advertising, which isn't implemented yet, then why does reddit bother with it's reddit gold. They must make trillions everyday if the numbers of steemit are sort of in the right scale.
Please tell me where I'm mistaken or missing something, because it doesn't make sense to me.
Things are moving nicely

Apple store is next ....
1 wallet holds all the cryptos. No verification, no phone numbers, no emails, no names, no KYC - it's a direct connection with blockchain and complete anonymity
Amazon is the easiest way to get one! https://smile.amazon.com/Billys-Bitcoin-Naomi-Brockwell/dp/1537412752/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534739320&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=billy%27s+bitcon
Thanks for asking!
Check out KoreCoin private messaging and voip.. awesome staking too. I just got in a few days ago but i hear a new wallet is coming in the next few weeks also.
it's just one of many many blockchains, and one of the least interesting or secure with literally 0 unique ideas. it is the one that has the biggest budget for marketing, but behind virtually all others due to lack of knowledge in cryptography and security. the public chain has literally become the new onecoin and almost universally critisized by all experts.
Virtually all of these have something unique to offer and study: https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/
Developers of virtually all of those pretty unified in their criticisms of specifically onecoin and eth for same reasons.
VERIFIER blockchain platform is trusted by more and more people. Investment activity at present is the investment of investments and implementation of practical actions in order to obtain profits or achieve another beneficial effect. Cash, securities, other property, property rights, other rights that have monetary value, invested in business and or other activities in order to make a profit and or achieve other useful effect is called investment. Not all areas of investment activity are regulated by regulatory acts without paying attention to the fact that a large number of documents have been adopted. We can say that the main directions of the investment policy of the state have been outlined. VERIFIER definitely gives us this opportunity!
KeepKey Giveaway: 5 KeepKeys + 5 ShapeShift Closed Beta Early Access Codes
Please check out our Reddit giveaway to win a KeepKey and instant early access to our closed beta platform.
If you want to try a cold storage hardware wallet & be in charge of YOUR KEYS - you can try a KeepKey for 60% off ($31.60 + Free U.S. shipping) with our reddit code (Reddit60).
Basically when you make a bitcoin transaction, your public key is know to world. Suppose, your people come to know that your Mr. X is using particular public key, they can track his payments, which is obviously undesirable.
Hence, comes a concept of mixing. They transfer bitcoins from your one account to another account via many many other accounts.
My drawing is poor, but have look at this.

I read your link and found nothing interesting that could be useful for the community. I advise you to stop spreading spam, misleading users. I know who you are. Your problem is that you tried to avoid KYC by sending a fake ID. I know this case, but the truth is, changenow never hid it. The rules of use is published on the site, where it is indicated that KYC can be applied in some cases. I specifically checked it, you can read here https://changenow.io/terms-of-use Man, why are you misleading users?
Well, with any of the blockchain creation platforms I linked to above, that would definitely be possible. You could also take any one of the existing coins, bitcoin for example is also open source, modify it, and create one that. That is what coins like litecoin did. Ethereum also has a way you could create your own coin on their platform, the tutorial for that can be found on their website: https://www.ethereum.org/token
Fellow dummy here, I found a ton of resources on Product Hunt. Personally found the demo quite helpful for visualizing the blockchain. Hope you find something useful in there too!

Thanks for the comment and resources Scott. Haven't found anyone that is doing the same thing...yet. LOVE StartupWeekends...I have participated in a few across the world and always met a lot of talented entrepreneurs, but never found that ONE to go all in with. And finally, great book recommendation with Thiel's Zero to One, I read it awhile ago, but should probably circle back and re-read it. Thanks again for sharing!
