  system architecture

Inspiration

This project was created in response to the Bitcoin Association BSV Hackathon 2020. One of the stated objectives in the hackathon theme was to 'break down historic industry data silos'. A data silo is a business unit of an organization that operates in isolation from other units. This generally creates a trade off between effective silos and the wider benefit of collaboration (Satell,2017).

In their paper titled 'Abandoning Silos', Mowat Research (2018) identified key barriers to horizontal collaboration. Notably, the uneven distribution of costs, data privacy concerns, the lack of a technical solution, and the uncertainty of how to do it effectively (Urban, 2018, pp7-9).

What it does

This system stores messages and charges money to access them.

How I built it

I built it using nodejs and postgresql

Challenges I ran into

I needed a way to make payments from the command line so it could be an automated system. Integrating with money button on the html pages. Creating a CustomInput type

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Building the CLI wallet and payment flow, the custom transaction script

What I learned

i learned a lot about bsv blockchain transactions, money button apis, miner apis, and bsv library

What's next for profitsilo

I think there is more work to do on the permissions,
configurable payment recipients for tags,
checking server signatures, linking a domain to a signature,
more testing on the CLI to make it safer to use.
making the custom transaction flow work better
