Has anyone built a forum like HN or Reddit on top of Ethereum yet? It would be a really interesting experiment to have a decentralized forum where upvotes earn tokens.


The closest thing is Leeroy:

But social applications are prohibitively expensive right now. Unless something like Plasma (Ethereum sub-chains) becomes a reality, Ethereum will only be useful for financial/authentication applications I think.


steem.io - I believe it's not on top of Ethereum, but it's the same idea.


There's one called steem.it that sounds similar to what you're saying - users use steem to upvote posts
