Yup I've been looking over twister thoroughly this week, it's very close to
what I'm thinking and I'm sure the developer of that could easily do the
project I'm doing. However he decided to make an alt coin and didn't use the
real blockchain, which makes his network weak. It's a waste to not take
advantage of the immense bitcoin computing power for this. I'm only planning on
storing hashes in the blockchain though to prevent data bloat, and the parallel
program which stores all the data will be a lot like twister. Additionally I'm
going to take it beyond a messaging system, will be able to literally upload
anything and everything to this system. Theres no limit to what this
de-centralized system can do if designed correctly. Crypto graffiti has given a
taste of that by uploading jpeg and png to the blockchain.
Will be working on this 24/7 until the first release, will definitely tell you
and others when the code is ready to be looked over. Fortunately I am employed
by bitcoin so I can focus on this

It sounds very similar to what you're trying to do. Also, I'd be willing to
help out in the form of running some alpha/beta software as part of the network
once you get something working. Depending what languages you're writing in, I
might help with code.

I've seen quite a few more of these projects lately, I want to make a list of
them and would definitely like to contribute to making them not just usable,
but good enough to gain popularity on their own.

which moderators / filters / servers he trusts, and let them share their
subscription preferences in place of sharing links to centralized forums.)

Zander is working on the same thing:

But it's actually quite difficult to make it truly censorship-resistant: both
in solving the theymos factor and spam/abuse/overloading as an attack.

We have /r/bitcoinxt and so far it has been great. But we also need a regular
forum.

removedlink__58ec13b3-aba4-4e37-b10b-87cbd851ae2f__href="https://bitcoin.com/forum/";>https://bitcoin.com/forum/</a>
would be nice.
And it must be a real community, not "say whatever you want because free
speech". We've seen how that turned out to be.
Something like
<a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
removedlink__58ec13b3-aba4-4e37-b10b-87cbd851ae2f__href="http://battle.net";>battle.net</a>
or Steam forums: heavily moderated, not for opinions, but for
spam/noise/insults.
Again, this needs leadership. Anyone can install a forum software, what is
needed is an "official seal of approval" and regular presence of top XT people
there.
And a will to setup proper moderation. Then people will move.
