We could expand it a little further too.  I changed the memo key of Twitter.puppies to the same key as announce.  We could have the wallet show all transfers to any account that has that same memo key.  This way we can send messages directly to  others but still have them in our troll box.  We could automate the creation of accounts with that memo key,  and automatically create transfers from that account when typing in the troll box.  This allows responding like most other trollboxes.  Then we just need a way to ignore users.

I believe what we're talking about here is not about redesigning the forum but just add a simple trollbox to OpenLedger, doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it fills its purpose. We can make it pretty or choose another one better in the future. It only needs to work atm.

I really think it would help bring more people in and it's always useful.

example page with trollbox

can`t make it wider due to my current theme.

Here is the best example I can think of for a trollbox within our wallets:
http://cryptofresh.com/u/announce

Just create a trollbox account, have users import the wif key, implement micro-transactions, code the gui and BAMM... We have real-time chat feeding the BTS ecosystem all at the same time. A profitable trollbox... perish the thought ;)

@ValentinJesse @puppies and me tested retroshare while bitsharestalk was down. find a way to port their system to bitshares and we're set with every feature, incl decentralized forum, chat and mail.

we purposed a system called ultra that does just this,
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=17388.30

but the concept was... not accepted.

id be willing to have a run at plugging in smf's database to this if there were a bounty or something :)

we could also try our hand at a quick cli hack that plugs in a trollbox... shouldnt be hard.

i would also be willing to host this forum on my servers and use a failover system so it never goes down again.

I think we're missing a lot of value for not having some type of trollbox. It's not my thing, but looking at Poloniex, people sit on there all day talking and having a good time.

This forum has just been ofline for the lat 4 hours,  If we had a trollbox on open ledger that would have been good

[fav]

isn't there a blockchain based open source chat (coin or whatever)?

[CLains]

Copy -> Paste  :P

It would really make it interesting to hang around on our DEX, if yall are there keeping me company and helping me out with my trading trollbox style :-* It would be lively right away we already got like 60 people obsessively checking the forums.

Great, but no one is going to want to pay to post messages in a trollbox, so you cant record those messages in the blockchain. It needs to be free.

Yeah it has to be free and external from bitshares/openledger
