Blurt FAQ: what is it and how does it work?

Blurt combines blogging, communities and a public blockchain. Here are straightforward answers with links to detailed guides.

What is Blurt?

Blurt is an independent social blockchain. Posts, comments, votes and account operations are recorded by the network. Websites such as Blurt.blog are frontends — the account remains on-chain even if an individual frontend goes offline. Introduction →

Are Blurt.blog and Blurt.pl the same service?

No. Blurt.blog is a social frontend; Blurt.pl provides guides and tools for the Polish community. Compatible frontends use the same blockchain account.

How do I create an account?

Choose a trusted registration service, verify its address, select a username and carefully save your generated credentials. The blockchain username is permanent. Registration guide →

Which key should I use?

Use Posting authority for ordinary social actions. Use Active for transactions and certain account operations. Protect Owner and Master Password offline. An everyday social interface should not request your Owner key. Understand the keys →

How do I publish a post?

Use a trusted frontend, write the title and content, choose suitable tags, add properly hosted images, preview the result and sign with Posting authority. Remember the published content is public. Publishing guide →

Why is a photo missing?

The text photo.jpg is just a filename. Markdown needs the actual hosted address: ![Alt text](https://example.org/photo.jpg). Older image gateways may also become unavailable. Fix photos →

Does Blurt have downvotes?

Blurt uses positive content voting. Vote strength changes the weight, not a transfer amount. Voting and comments →

How are rewards calculated?

Rewards depend on votes and protocol rules. No post receives a guaranteed amount. Pending rewards can change before the payout, normally around seven days after publication. Rewards explained →

What is Blurt Power?

It represents stake-based influence in voting and governance. Power Up increases staked influence; Power Down starts a gradual withdrawal. Fees and power →

Are there transaction fees?

Yes. Blurt uses network fees rather than resource credits; the amount depends on current protocol parameters and the action. Check the details before signing. More details →

What if posts or comments will not load?

Check multiple frontends to distinguish a website problem from an RPC or indexing problem. Never enter stronger keys into unfamiliar tools. Troubleshooting →
