Am loving @peepethApp code of conduct, all of the interactions with it are likeable. 🙌

It's really cool that this real world service will run with any front end, anyone can fork it, and its truly resilient. This is how to explain what decentralisation is... My only complaint is the obvious slowness of confirmations to @IPFSbot and @ethereum (must be some way to mask that for the user) and the lack of instant follows / gratification

@ricburton - I imagine @Balance_io folks could think of ways to make that possible?
