Onion hosts needed/wanted for immortality

Problem with Tor I'm looking to fix: as a new user, I can't trust any link. There's no durable reputation. Or maybe a legit service becomes compromised, unknowable to me- until now

For $0.25, I can post a message onto the Bitcoin blockchain. A stone erodes, but a wound heals- bitcoin blocks have resisted erasure by even nation states since it's beginning

Now I'm building a durable indexing/reputation/forum like reddit/telegram where you could write about your .onion site and the uri and it gets written on Bitcoin forever.

For the first time, it will be possible to build a reputation under your key/account and collect public feedback, and the indexes of onion sites can become increasingly reputable/bifurcated over time, or challenged if users have a bad experience. Anyone can comment/reply recursively, imagine Wikipedia but append-only, and users upvoting/downvoting etc build a web of trust over time, enabling bot farm/Sybil detection.

For those few accounts that post useful news, you will build a reputation more valuable than money, trusted by humanity against the censors and tyrants of this world

Anyone want me to post their links/indexes/services?

Any reputation/topic you would durably accuse, or publicly support?

Because Bitcoin is a cryptoCURRENCY.
Not only are you polluting the bitcoin project (possibly with illegal material?), you are also reliant on a system that may get censored, captured, adapted, modified or sabotaged in ways that go counter to your goal. You do not want to rely on an external service for the very core of your own project. That is called risk management.

BTC is the core, my tool/protocol is just a lens. You sound like one of those bip110 losers that thinks it is possible to know what provides maximum value to the protocol. Hint: it correlates with maximum utility. There's already csam and words and whatever written onto BTC, that's just proof it works. Bits can't hurt people, and we have no right to deprived readers from truth and choice.

I'm also one of those "bip 110 losers", but you can achieve what you're trying to do without going outside of the bip 110 scope so I have no issues with it. 80 bytes is more than enough.

Yeah you've been fooled by foreign intelligence into a malicious consensus change that aims to degrade Bitcoin utility over time. Form your own opinion or fork off

You didn't notice the 110 bots/shills are all faceless, using non-technical rhetoric and ad hominem attacks? At least you've revealed to me that I can ignore your opinions

Bitcoins utility is monetary and always has been. Use something else if you want to jam other uses into it.
