Re: Twetch: Blockchain-based Twitter, encyrpted with BTC private key, Or it is?
Tried Twetch out once, out of curiosity. I mean, I tried to try it out.. until I found out you have to pay money to post anything on there, hoping to get it back from others who engage with your stuff. And apparently, that isn't enough:
How private and encrypted is it if there's an one-time cost? Is it even open source, knowing that you don't get the app without paying for it? The fact that private keys are used to have a private chat is even more worrying..
The fact that Twetch exists makes the entire Wright argument even funnier. He hasn't only copied Bitcoin - the community is going for larger names as well. Wouldn't be surprised if some Fecebook is under development in their community.. This entire SV thing is all about copying.
These comments from this Reddit thread about Twetch are worth a little laugh.

There is a one-time cost of $9.99 to access the feature, but once you have purchased the app, you do not have any further costs.

Is very interesting to see that Twetch now is a more advanced Twitter since it's on blockchain, this beta version is promising
all messages are encrypted via AES and ECIES, - each Twetch action is immortalised as an onchain message. Thus Twetch stands out from Twitter with its micropayments interactions created value added, this concept is unique on a stable protocol.

Twetch is a perfect example of; BSV developers literally building castles in someone else's sandbox ...

Immortalized (immutable data) on a blockchain is going to be a legal problem for BSV and for Twetch ...
See for example: EU - Data Protection Directive

Welcome to law!
Furthermore, if you have to pay to speak and/or be incentivized to be heard then that is not freedom of speech.

Best of luck to the BSV clown show. I mean come on the Twetch owner thinks he's a frog. ROFL.
