Heya #ICPFamily, this is a big one.
I’d like to introduce you guys to uBin, a cloud storage experience built on #ICP that allows you to create and own a personal file storage space on a blockchain network!
This project is about 3 years old and offers a wide range of features:
• Self-paid, autonomous smart contract creation and ownership.
• In browser file manager interface with drag and drop upload.
• In-app music/video player, document viewer (docx, pdf, etc), and a 3D model viewer.
• Sharing via QR code and direct link.
• User menu with saved settings customization.
• In-app bug report/support ticket information.
• Choice between public and encrypted canisters.
• Support for mobile with NFID and Stoic.
uBin has a 3+ year roadmap and lots to come. We have a few hundred users on and off chain, and we’re super excited to finally show what we’ve been cooking. We are in beta and have a whitelist, but you can login and submit the request right in the app if you’d like to try it!

We love ICP and plan to stay forever, and in the process I’d like to sincerely thank everyone for their support in building this. Without you guys I wouldn’t be here. Love you all! ❤️
Very exciting announcement everyone.. After a long time coming, we’re finally here 🥂
This is a big day for our team. It’s taken years of planning, development, and a ton of personal sacrifice but the final version of uBin is complete.
As of now, there are still features, fixes, and new stuff being pushed daily, and we have a lot coming. For now however, we’d like to announce that all of the whitelist users have been officially accepted, and can now create their own storage spaces on ICP using our new systems.
Next week, we’re planning to remove whitelist completely, but for now, if you’ve signed up, we’re excited to have you.
I’ve put my life into building this. We will see errors, there will be some issues, but that’s part of the beautiful process of building these things together. I welcome all feedback, and I look forward to seeing my work come to life.
DMs are open, there is an in-app system for support as well. I love you guys, let’s do this! ❤️
New features include:
• Upgraded Internet Identity system with automatic paywall.
• Canister publishing - Share all of your files at once via ID using the new public viewer.
• Full audio/video player that can minimize to a bottom dock for all our production folks.
• Ability to edit text based files in-app.
• Automatic hourly backup of the backend systems.
• New file explorer UI with ease of access.
• Lots more..
Please feel free to follow our new X page @uBinHQ for more official updates as well.
Explore and let us know what you think!
Alright ladies and gents, it’s time.
I have been in this ecosystem since before genesis. I have dedicated my life to it. I love it, hate it, and breathe it, and not one of you can take that from me. So let’s talk…
I know too much. I’ve seen all there is to see, and I’m very connected to everyone, projects and foundation alike. You all are family to me. I genuinely care about us.
We have to change, or we’re going to destroy ourselves. We’ve said it time and time again, and keep repeating the same cycles year over year. We’re growing, but we’re also creating the same problem we’re trying to solve. We have some of our biggest figureheads fighting, the disconnect between the foundation and community is the largest I’ve ever seen it, and we’ve got scammers accusing scammers of scamming. Let’s get real, you all are making this into a joke. It’s sickening me, and I love you all.
I have worked with many of you. You all have a role to play, and every one of us is responsible for the way our ecosystem is, including me. Are you serious about changing it? Because if you guys are I can let you know that you’re driving the last of us out. My team has been silent because we can’t deal with it, we’re busy building real things, but the time has come where if we don’t actually confront ourselves, we’re going to spell the end to a beautiful thing. And yes @dfinity you’re equally at fault, and you need to be a part of this just as much we are.
I’m going to be hosting a space. I will likely invite many folks, including from the foundation, and the focus will be on transparency, communication, and closing the gaps. I’m happy to play the role, but if you guys aren’t serious, we’re going to lose this game.
Any one of you who knows me knows I’m about it. I’m happy to raise any issue, connect anyone together, and proactively solve any issue. We have to do this together though, or we’re going to destroy ourselves.
Stop the nonsense, confront the issues, become introspective and learn to blame yourselves, or we’re all here for nothing.
Let’s learn to love ICP again. We’re strong, let’s fix this.
All love always…
- Daniel
Happy to be here in San Fransisco with the #ICPFamily at the rooftop view.
Say hello to @Meta_Owl, @hankolious, @JasonMugg, @dreaminglucid22, @ICPDeGenX, @VictorICPGold! Big day tomorrow for all of us. If any of you are in the city let us know, we’d love to meet up!
Love you all ❤️
@dfinity @caffeineai come hangout with us. We’re here for it!
After a lot of thought and debate, I decided to bring a hefty update to my ic-auth package.
This one is for the developers 🥂
github.com/id-daniel-mccoy/i…
This package allows developers to setup their favorite Internet Computer wallet login in their web apps within minutes. It has been updated to use the latest features…
Currently supported:
• Plug
• Stoic
• Internet Identity
• NFID
There are currently some limitations on Stoic and NFID but they should be fixed in upcoming updates.
This package aims to complement the ICP development experience, to make it easier for getting new devs building.
For a full feature integration on the deepest level, I recommend integrating @NFIDWallet and IdentityKit. I would like to sincerely give credit to @IdentityMaxis and their team for the recent upgrades to ICP authentication standards, and I hope to continue supporting them.
Enjoy everyone ❤️
Hey everyone, I know it’s been awhile. Just a bit of an update for my #ICP folks!
Aside from dev work, I’ve been spreading the ICP love from coast to coast. Working closely with different @ICPHUBS, I’ve been teaching at actual universities, speaking at conferences, and getting real world people involved.
I’ve created dev courses, presentations, and have done countless interviews with many positive responses. It is through efforts like this we can grow our ecosystem together.
A big thanks to many of the folks from the Hubs, @JArroyoFerrer, the @MissionCommsX team, and of course our community for helping bring it all together.
Just doing my part ❤️
I’m so excited to introduce this initiative to our #ICPFamily!
I will be hosting a class aimed at helping developers learn about ICP and build dapps using TypeScript with Azle.
I’d like to sincerely thank @JArroyoFerrer and the @icphub_CA for all their work, alongside @quantumleaplab for making this all possible.
I look forward to helping us grow, and thank you all for your support ❤️
For anyone interested in signing up, our first course is free:
icpmaster.org/typescript/
I look forward to seeing you all November 5th! 🥂
Alright #ICPFamily, you guys even got me excited here. We’ve finally reached the day where I have to update the burn calculator (icpburn.com) because we’re under 1 second per ICP burn, which is insane!
I started here back in July of 2021 when cycles burn was 8M/s, it took 23+ minutes to burn a single token.
To see these numbers is just mind blowing. Whether it’s temporary or not, everyone here including Dfinity should be proud.
On that note, expect an updated calculator hopefully today, love you guys ❤️
Just a reminder for some of the new folks in the #ICPFamily, I created a tool awhile ago that calculates how long it takes our whole network to burn 1 ICP using this metric, you can find it at:
icpburn.com
Love to see the growth over the past 3 years 🥂
This is crazy. Haven’t seen $ICP cycle burn rate to be this high. 🔥 Who’s doing this ?
Just went live to chat about the latest updates for @The_Swop with our CEO at the #ICPCC2024!
Stay tuned for lots of amazing content coming up including more panels from us and some special guest speakers as we prepare to start our own in person event right here in Milwaukee!
Hey everyone, been cooking in stealth for a few months but I wanted to bring our #ICFamily this new package I built in the meantime. This one is for the devs.
npmjs.com/package/ic-auth
It’s a web package that will allow any dev to add any IC login to their app in under 2 minutes.
This aims to make it faster and easier for new builders to get setup with ICP tooling so they can focus more on building. If we don’t keep thinking this way we will always fight an uphill battle with onboarding, just doing my part :)
For anyone who is interested this code is fully available on my GitHub:
