BSV is a black hole. Vulpine is the event horizon.

A social network written to the BSV blockchain. Your number is your account, your wallet is your login, and everything anyone posts is a record that any site can read.

What it is

Three ideas. Everything else follows from them.

Your number is your account

Mint a user number once. It is a coin you own: nobody can take it, suspend it or rename it, and it is the same account on every site on the network.

Posts are records

A post, a reply, a vote, a listing, a wiki edit: each one is a signed record on chain. Every site reads the same records, so what you write is never trapped in one of them.

Pseudonymous, not anonymous

Every record traces to a key, and nothing ties a key to a person. You can hold several identities, and nothing you sign carries a real-world credential.

The wallet is the network

Not a place to keep coins with a browser bolted on. The applications live inside it, and they are signed in because your wallet is open.

The protocol

What a record is, and the rules every site agrees on.

Records
An OP_RETURN carrying a tag and JSON, signed by an identity key. The tags begin fwetch-, the first site's name, kept rather than renamed: records already on chain cannot be rewritten.
Numbers
A user number is a 1-satoshi ordinal, minted in order. Holding it is the account. Sell it and the account goes with it.
Names
A .fox name is claimed on chain and points wherever its holder says: a site, an address, or an application in the wallet.
Boards
A board is a coin struck with its slug. Whoever holds it moderates it, and can sell it.
The house
Writing a record costs a fraction of a penny. A site's house pays it so a new member never needs coins to speak. The record is still signed by the member, never by the house.
One address
Everything you hold belongs on your identity key's own address, so any site can see what is yours without being told.

Run a node

The network's records are kept by people's computers, and each is paid in sats for the work it proves.

Any computer that stays on

Windows 10 or 11, macOS 13 or newer, or 64-bit Linux, with 4 GB of memory and a gigabyte or two of disk. No mining machine, no graphics card, nothing to open on your router.

Switched on in the wallet

Open Skulk on the wallet's desktop, choose Run a node, pick the space it may use and turn it on. It works while Vulpine is open and the computer is plugged in.

Paid for what it proves

3 sats for each transaction it fetches and 5 for each spot check it passes, up to 20,000 a day, paid to your wallet every six hours.

Get the wallet

Desktop and Android. It holds your keys, your numbers and your things, and it is where the applications live.

Windowsinstaller MacApple Silicon MacIntel LinuxAppImage LinuxDebian, Ubuntu AndroidAPK

Windows warns about an unknown publisher, because the build is not code-signed yet: click More info, then Run anyway. Android: allow installing from this source when it asks; the update installs over the wallet you have, keeping everything. If a download ever stops, start it again: these links always give the newest build. On a Mac, take Apple Silicon for an M1 or newer and Intel for older ones, unzip it and drag Vulpine Wallet into Applications. The first time, macOS says it cannot check the developer: open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and press Open Anyway. Checksums: SHA256SUMS.txt

Open it, make a wallet, mint your number. That is the whole setup.
