Think about it!
Did Putt suddenly optimize the code? Nahhh not that easy.
Get new hardware? This! Somebody is paying for the Q refugees and it ain’t them.
The server would have buckled under their weight.
So, we can figure that hardware was updated in advance.
How is footing the bill? Internal user is possible. Outside user or could have bought out or into voat. Maybe an internal user bought in too.
Be nice to Q’s. Really ... I remember thinking that Putt probably needed the influx and prepared knowing 10k users were coming.
Fuck, 10k users would have put voat to death spirals a couple months back. But here we are with snappy response times and rock solid performance. Now how the fuck did Putt do that with his previous resources?
Aliens?

Putt did actually optimize things before they came over.. I wouldn't say it was an easy thing on his part.
Your post is interesting but I disagree on the suspicious parts. Putt hasn't been clear with voat finances, even after saying he would be.

Didn't he get over a million $ in Bitcoin.

No, and anyone spreading this information is spreading misinformation.

there was a large amount of bitcoin donated to Voat in the year prior to it really taking off. there's a good chance the numbers were that high.

If he sold at the top.

I don’t remember it being 7 digits. He did get possibly a decent salary worth and not coin took off after so let’s say it doubled.
But not a million.

Couldn't tell ya. I don't remember seeing anything reliable about that.
