Here is a combination of social news and cryptocurrencies I did with Telescope last autumn: <a href="http://bloqchan.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bloqchan.com/</a><p>It is democracy for capitalists - you vote with your money!<p>We are searching for somebody who would like to help us with developing and marketing (also rebranding and designing).<p>Next step is to integrate it with our Dogecoin browser wallet and make one-click sharing (while browsing) possible together with the already existing 'one-click' upvoting <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dogecoin-browser-wallet-d/fcakjkhpcakekaagfkafeafceiemomcm" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dogecoin-browser-w...</a><p>Ultimate goal is to let the tipping culture go mainstream and deeply revolutionize how content discovery + creation monetization works!<p>BTW: We are also developing a blockchain-based 'backend' for social news with integrated crypto-currency. Distributed and censorship-free.<p>Leave a message on bloqchan with your thoughts please!
It creates a bad impression of Meteor when you click the first link in the demo that contains a couple hundred comments and the entire browser freezes for 8 seconds:
<a href="http://demo.telesc.pe/" rel="nofollow">http://demo.telesc.pe/</a><p>Don't make the mistake of trying to open the Firefox debugger on that page either or the freezing lasts even longer.<p>That one page makes <i>807</i> HTTP requests totaling 953KB to display about 20KB of text.
I don't understand how this is news... It's been out there for months. It is <i></i><i>much more</i><i></i> interesting the "Made with Meteor" <a href="http://madewith.meteor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://madewith.meteor.com/</a>
