👏 I'm down
The Apertus.io browser is able to serve up websites that have been stored on the Datacoin blockchain. It is also able to browse the rest of the Internet.
In a sense then Datacoin already has a DNS system embedded in and interpreted by the Apertus browser. Both the browser and the coin can be run independantly of ICANN, so when these two pieces of software work together we already have websites that cannot be seized, controlled or shut down.
It would be nice indeed if there was broader adoption of the Apertus.io browser. A version cross compiled for Linux and Mac would also be nice.

Excellent. Yes, it seems Apertus relying on IE frames to do the browsing is what's causing most of the incompatibility with other platforms.
on Linux systems, you need to install another system library - sudo apt install libczmq-dev. (IIRC, to get this to work on Mint, I first had to correct a dependency mismatch, had to uninstall libczmq and allow apt to install both libczmq4 and libczmq-dev, YMMV).

Extro's quoted configuration seems to have worked (after removing -levent_pthreads). I'll update in a bit.
I had berkeleydb 4.8 installed but it turns out I had to remove -levent_pthreads.
So my configure command is now: ./configure --with-gui=yes CPPFLAGS="-fPIC" LIBS="-lgmp -lboost_timer -lprotobuf"
But now it seems I've got a problem with zmq? I'm using zeromq-4.3.1-2

@extro can I ask, what are in these directories? LDFLAGS="-L/home/veter/dbbin/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-fPIC -I/home/veter/dbbin/include/" I'm trying to build my config command and I don't understand what these are referencing.
Huh. Thought I had czmq installed but I didn't. Currently fighting:

If the code is forked, it shares the cloneparent's history - and, rather importantly, can be upgraded from upstream contemporary changes.
Datacoin does its data biz by adding a data field to the standard transaction. Namecoin does its name biz by looking at OP_RETURN data. The two variants do not interact so might well co-exist, which lends some support for extro1's earlier conjecture as to the possibility of adding Namecoin domains to Datacoin.
It would seem necessary to include here the same admonition as I made to extro1: "I'd be insane to even appear to be taking responsibility for its correct functioning." The code is in a personal repository and has not been released, so I repeat: I'd be insane to even appear to be taking responsibility for its correct functioning..

This said, would you mind doing a quick overview of your changes and where that puts us in terms of a roadmap, or at least your goals? Could help others find a way to contribute
Could you identify any other prospective things the community could be doing to help? Many of us want to help but since it's hard to keep track of where we're at and where we're going it's hard to tell what needs doing. 
For example, is anyone here a mod/admin of /r/datacoin? That sub could use some cleaning up. I'd gladly mod it and do it myself.
Not that I know of. What did you have in mind?

I was thinking something like Namecoin dns -> ?? (something to track DTC nodes?? maybe ETH contract??) -> Website data on DTC blockchain. I've been trying to think of ways to leverage DTC lately and it seems like it could be used for a completely decentralized, completely anonymous website?
Agreed. I am actively buying.

Are there any successful recent examples of hosting a website on DTC blockchain?

Are there any current tutorials for gpu mining on Linux?
Hi guys,
How do you think, why should someone prefer Datacoin, if there are already Sia, Storj and (?) Filecoin probably? Could you please explain what are interesting things around DTC in technical aspect now?

Those coins are specifically set up as "coin drives". That is not really what Datacoin is aiming for. We are simply a coin with 128kB of data storage available in every transaction. Users can make with that what they will. In time many uses will be found for those 128kB.

Aren't transactions chainable into larger files? Was that ever implemented? I could have sworn I saw larger files on the DTC blockchain a long time ago..
Nasdaq files patent on Digital Assets
I see Nasdaq filed a patent in May 2017 on digital assets and secure voting etc. This is identical to the work done by Counterparty and Bytestamp. It also overlaps what was done with Apertus. They show no code, only concepts. Counterparty, Bytestamp and Apertus have all shown real code with real use cases.
Here is an article: https://cointelegraph.com/news/nasdaq-files-patent-for-blockchain-based-asset-ownership-data-storage-system
And here is the patent: http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=20170330174.PGNR.&OS=dn/20170330174&RS=DN/20170330174
I honestly think this patent should be opposed. This is an attempt to control work that other people have done and which is already in the public domain.

Wow that's pretty brazen. There's no way they wouldn't already know about Counterparty at least, the fuckers. Make sure this is posted in Counterparty slack!
What's the most active branch/fork of the DTC repo?
Chicago's branch is the furthest in terms of development. https://github.com/CoiningPress/datacoin
Currently for testing as Datacoin 0.8.6.
Wow those are some clean commits, me gusta.
Hi Ben,
Thanks for asking!
Do the next best thing, pickup some on BTCPOP before the few available at a low cost are all gone.

DEV, Datacoin have ICO?

Is BTCPOP legit? It seems more like a loan site than an exchange and doesn't show exchange publicly which makes me skeptical.
Re: [PRE-ANN] [TESTNET] Infocoin | Uncensorable Data in the Blockchain
Datacoin already exists and is still alive in the shadows. Maybe you should work with the Datacoin community? There are still quite a few dedicated supporters remaining.
