The purpose of introducing it was to be able to add a "follow/add" +block to your chain, so in some sense to inform others that others exist too +and you "follow" them as in the "social media" terminology. + +The place from which you are doing it though is vague. The first thought was to +have the `ak-config` IPNS key in the list. An update on that key would fetch you +the new latest of the zchain that this key point to, hence, being able to crawl +the latest version of it. That was mostly cause the 'ak-config' output would be +something like this: + +```json +{ + "profile": { + "nickname": "someone", + }, + "genesis": "QmbFMke1KXqnYyBBWxB74N4c5SBnJMVAiMNRcGu6x1AwQH", + "gpg": "42A...", + "zchain": "k51q...", + "zlatest": "Qm..." +} +``` + +Other than publishing that you follow or unfollow someone's ak-config IPNS key, +the module doesn't do anything else. + +Privacy-wise, someone would not like to let others know what their follow list +is. + + + ## Notes - [1] "data_signature" is labeled as "detach" inside the block. - [2] README file mentions that the whole project is in experimental state, btw |
