Introducing Blockstack

Bitcoin network application

How to start

https://blockstack.org/install

I am using browser web as easy to install.

Home screen below

My account tells me to renew the ID (created about 2 years ago) so that I am going to show you how it went below.

It is free to use if your id is xxxxx.blockstack

The ID renewal costed 0.001768 = 16.1 USD

0.0000252 network fee = 0.23USD

Segwit address to non-Segwit, it took only few seconds for the transaction!

(1BTC = 9133USD as of March 7 2020)

It is probably cheaper than paying for a domain and email per account for traditional corporate web email service but it is free to regular use of @gmail.com.

After update, 673 days of extension (730-57)

Gmail like UI and easy to use. There is also D-Drive which file can be saved. I have to say it is extremely slow, it took me over 10 seconds to load existing folders.

I can't see this will replace existing email service but can be used something. Let's see.

Please send me a message to hiro.id
