Do you know that podcastindex utilizes a shitcoin for building postcasting 2.0? 1667 sats \ 8 comments \ @holger 27 Jun After some digging i found out that postcastindex uses the HIVE blockchain for building their podcast index. The parsing works as follows:

a small server program parses different RSS feeds and stores the result in the HIVE blockchain (https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podping-hivewriter)

The entries can be check here: https://hiveblocks.com/@podping.aaa Blockchain watcher (https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podping.cloud) parses the HIVE blockchain and build the SQL database at https://podcastindex.org/ he @podping.aaa is in control of a single user https://peakd.com/@brianoflondon

(Check for recovery account at https://hiveblocks.com/@podping.aaa. A recovery account can reset the account password and claim >the account at any time)

As you can read here: https://peakd.com/hive-110369/@brianoflondon/continuation-hive-to-value-4-value-the-hive-bitcoin-lightning-bridge-part-3

This should be used to pump the HIVE blockchain.

what do you think about this? It is also very interesting that you will not find anything about their usage of HIVE on https://podcastindex.org/>
