Show HN: Seedling – A Decentralised Medium

Lol! It’s not my intention for this to be a get rich quick scheme but there are running costs (user registration and TheGraph network payments). If the platform is to be self sustaining it needs to cover its costs.

Is there a reasonable long term platform fee that you would find acceptable? Say 1% or 0.1%?

So it sounds like you can DoS the service through user registration and graph usage?

So the decentralised system relies on you as a SPOF dealing with abuse and paying the bills?

Only in the short term. TheGraph is migrating from a centralised service to a decentralised network and the community can run alternative oauth servers to help mitigate attacks. I'm no cybersecurity specialist though.

Also, the data is always available on-chain and the protocol is open so other people can write an alternative ui with their own blockchain query capabilities. Like Bress.xyz does with Mirror.xyz.

Payments can be automated on-chain.
