My contributions to Twister are relatively minor- mostly focused towards UI/UX stuff, something I personally loathe, but figured it'd be good learning. Also, out of all projects that itch for a nail to smash with the Bitcoin hammer, it's one of the few that make the most sense to me. The reasoning to use a Bitcoin-based protocol for the auth layer is detailed in the whitepaper [1] but it's basically in order to have unique identities tied to a given username while still remaining decentralized. Just like with Bitcoin, there's Proof of Work needed to perform these validations, but instead of…

To be fair, the most over-engineered blog I know of is anything hosted on top of this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.7152 ;) "This paper proposes a new microblogging architecture based on peer-to-peer networks overlays. The proposed platform is comprised of three mostly independent overlay networks. The first provides distributed user registration and authentication and is based on the Bitcoin protocol. The second one is a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) overlay network providing key/value storage for user resources and tracker location for the third network. The last network is a collection of…

I think the BtC protocol was used to ensure that peoples usernames were guaranteed unique, and linkable to a private key, i.e. verifiable. I think the whitepaper has more info, reading it now: http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.7152
