I hate receiving donations for a few reasons but here is Voat's BTC address if you feel called to donate: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k. Please only donate if you have the means.
Very nice of you to respond to me. I was just thinking that a big influx of users must be trying times for you and searching for some way to help. But you sound a little reluctant; should I not spread the word?
I'm not Putt, but I think he deserves to get some help in paying for all this. Everyone has shut down all other ways to donate. No ads are possible, no money can come in through banks or cards or whatever. Just bitcoin. If you do spread the word, I'd suggest also linking to his post (as I did) so the address stays correct.
After you messaged me, I had to do a search to find out what in the world it was about. Yes, I am naive about crypto. It looks impossibly complicated to me. How frustrating that there is no means to donate in other forms. This kind of economic embargo is usually reserved for criminal enterprises; I'm shocked it has gotten that bad trying to stifle online sites like Voat. My blood is boiling. What are we coming to?!

You haven't been paying close enough attention recently, haven't you? Communists have been deplatforming people to the right of them for a while now, all over the place. It's not just Voat. It's people like Alex Jones, YouTubers, other websites, individuals. The next targets are you and I, and they've already started harassment campaigns.
It is complicated. After typing that, I contemplated making a post on how to buy bitcoin that most could handle, but I'm probably not qualified to tell people how to transfer it successfully once they have it. Maybe I'll look for some help in putting a post together.
And yes, there was a story on the front page about Paypal banning Alex Jones now. It's getting pretty bad.
Also, this is Hand_of_Node. The numbers are weird.
I've been reading about it since you introduced the idea but there is a steep learning curve. Any tutorial you could come up with might help a lot of people. But we are an innocent bunch--lol--making people realize why we have to help the providers who are daring to resist the current. Many won't be up to it. How close we are to totalitarianism if the means to buy and sell is being taken from us! In fact it sounds ominously Biblical. Anyway, I would be a donor with some help and there must be others.

We should probably find a way to help financially.
