A simple forum system DApp, based on these contracts. It allows creating posts, tagging, and replying.
To use this application you will need either to be running Mist or have the MetaMask extension installed in Chrome. If you want to post large content of your own we also recommend you get ipfs installed as well.
###Mist
You can navigate to either otlw.co/forum
, or you locally hosted index.html
to begin using the application.
Remember to set an account in Mist!
##Usage Through the app you can publish documents, reply to them, and browse tags and users. Each reply costs a small fee which is set upon the creation of the forum contract.
Currently some functionality is not fully built into the application, such as setting sources for a document. If you would like to do this you can explore these contracts, and add the relevant ones to your Ethereum Wallet to use them.

##Creating a Post and Replying
We use IPFS for content distribution so if you want to post or reply with any content exceeding a 100 words, you need to create a file and use ipfs add
to store it locally and generate its hash which will look like this.
QmbRk7CRhF9Ag2PBrZmTvaP99XsPbE3kkSVTxL4oDgkosu
Then submit this hash as the content of your post of reply. You need to also be running ipfs daemon
so that others can initially access this file.
