Get On-Chain
Let's Build...
The web is outdated. Social media sites are increasingly prone to censorship due to political pressure and there are now almost daily calls for social media sites to be regulated. Algorithms are also frustrating the social media experience as users struggle to access content and posts outside their own bubble.
The purpose of Mix Acuity is to end the echo chamber and bring back true freedom of speech. Rather than publishing to a platform where content is controlled by a company, MIX Acuity allows anyone to publish and consume content via a neutral permissionless protocol using decentralized technologies such as MIX Blockchain and IPFS.
On-chain publishing. No middle man.
MIX Acuity is a desktop application that is a portal onto the MIX blockchain. This allows anyone secure, on-chain publishing to the blockchain and IPFS. MIX is a clone of Ethereum, ensuring independence and a large capacity increase over using the Ethereum main chain.
In contrast to centralised platforms, with Acuity and MIX Blockchain, there is no central server where data is stored. Censorship is impossible and publishing guaranteed.
Acuity de-couples publishing and consumption. Once content is assigned an IPFS hash and written to the blockchain, it can then be retrieved and displayed by any app that wishes to do so. Acuity ensures publishing is truly decentralised.
The initial features of Acuity are inspired by the best of current platforms with the aim to empower communication.
Threaded comments - A structure of discourse that works best for conversation and valuable input.
Chronological ordering of content- Or by any algorithm/method made by dev or user.
Multiple Custom Feeds - Talk about different topics to different groups of people or consume content from specific topics. Less incentive to have a one dimensional online presence.
Multiple, unrelated accounts - Have a business, personal, or bot account not related by algorithm.
Trusted account model - You control what content you see and who you interact with through your network of trust. Easily protect yourself from harassment and remain secure through your choice of content.
No restriction on the size of publishing - No character limit, control of the size of content you publish.
Content revisions - Despite being on-chain and permanent, you can edit your published content.
Other standard features - Emoji reactions, repost, quote, mentions.
• Independent blockchain - Scalable, fast and affordable.
• Decentralized, uncontrolled platform.
• Permanence
• No Ads
• No paywall
• Developer autonomy
• MIX token microtransactions to publish
MIX Blockchain is a smart contract platform for decentralized content. A clone of Ethereum, MIX Blockchain is a protocol for interconnected content social media apps like Acuity. It is fully public, uncensorable and no one can be prevented from participating.

Features
This initial release of Acuity has a feature set pulled from the best of current platforms with the aim to empower communication.
Threaded comments - A structure of discourse that works best for conversation and valuable input.
Chronological ordering of content- Or by any algorithm/method made by dev or user.
Trusted acc model - You control what content you see and who you interact with through your network of trust. Easily protect yourself from harassment and remain secure through your choice of content
Multiple Custom Feeds - Want to talk about different topics to different people or consume content from specific topics? (reasoning: If you only have one feed, you feel like you must cater the content to the lowest common denominator (what people expect you to post). By having multiple feeds you are able to publish different content to different audiences with the same account. Not encouraging consistent crowd pleasing content but varied communication. Better content because there is less pigeonholed, expectancy.)
Multiple, unrelated accounts - Business, personal, bot etc. Not related by algorithm
No restriction on the size of publishing - Control of the size of content you're producing. no character limit etc. Can be filtered by content size (in future)
Content revisions - Despite on chain and permanent, you can edit your content.
Other standard features - Emoji reactions, repost, quote, mentions.
Our community of devs and users can be found on Discord. We are eager to grow and develop this powerful technology. Come say hello!
Start using Acuity.
Download and run the installer. A wizard will guide you in detail on how to set up and publish on Acuity.
In order to publish you will need:
1. Some MIX - introduce yourself on Discord, there is a MIX tap and generous people.
2. Have at least one person in your network of trust (to start seeing content).
Acuity is the first iteration of a practical use-case for MIX Blockchain which anyone can build upon. It is a reference for developers to understand the technology and inspire innovation.
Currently, the Acuity source code and knowledgeable people on discord are the only reference for development on the MIX Blockchain, however, technical documentation is next on our to-do.
We encourage developers to use the application and join the discussion on discord to share their ideas and experiences.
