RE: Exploratory Analysis Shows World of Opportunity with JSON and STEEM
Thanks. By database, I meant the blockchain that records data and can be accessed, but has permissions to prevent anyone from just entering any data they want on behalf of others, that there is a record of who enters data to validate it in some way.
For your example with transfer_stratos, the addition of a new transfer_stratos field saying to transfer is signed by the account, giving it authority, right? I just want to know if there is authorization to manage data. Like a database, there are access permissions. Fields in custom JSON have the account of whoever added that field I assume. So when an app adds data to custom JSON, it can do so on it's own account, or as a user ont he app that has authorized it to do so, for example with SteemConnect scope. Is this accurate?
I'll check out the thread. Thanks for taking the time!
Yes, the transfer is signed by the account’s posting key. And yes, also apps can sign custom_json transactions on behalf of users.
Thanks. Is there a guide somewhere on how to do custom JSON? With dsteem or another library? I'll try to google search for it at some point ;) Thanks again for the informative discussion!
The only way I know to access custom_json transactions is directly through blocks — I’ve written a library called steem-state (and helper library steem-transact) that uses dsteem to make it easier to make custom_json DApps. There’s 3 tutorials, the first of them being in the README at https://github.com/nicholas-2/steem-state
By the end of the 3 tutorials you’ll have a fully functioning custom_json token!
Sweet! Thanks again!
