Voat's account is empty - 0 USD - we need your help (QRV)

submitted 6.5 years ago by 2740725?

Hello new goats & old - I am writing this as I know that the site owner is too proud to ebeg, well I am not.

Voat's BTC account 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k is empty totally empty not a cent in there.

You probably think that this website is kept alive with advertising, but I am afraid we have been cut off from all payment processors. As a result the store has been shut as it cannot accept cards & the advertisements on the side bar have remain unchanged for several years and are largely there for comedic value at this point.

As you can imagine hosting a website with tens of thousands of active users is costly, we managed to reduce the overheads earlier this year when some dedicated goats with more skill than I rewrote the code and moved the site to better hosting, but the costs are still there and we cannot allow the site owner to take the brunt of this.

The cabal have been after Voat for a very long time, many times we have barely hung on by a thread & now we need your help. Please help keep your new home alive as it wont survive without all of our assistance.

Godspeed - @lostandfound

What about using ebay? You could sell handmade VOAT "Thanks For Funding Us" letters (your cost = $0.05) and sell it now for $35.00. We could buy them to help fund the site. It's not perfect, but I think more people would do that than would do anything with cryptocurrency.

Also, if I own a business how do I advertise on VOAT? You can't throw your hands up in defeat. Hell I can mail a check and a graphic to a local newspaper and they will run my ad - why can't I do the same on VOAT?

Why not have the mods sent a nice letter of appreciation to Martin Geddes who's promoting Q on his company website, stating the site needs funding - if he'd be willing to support? http://www.martingeddes.com/wwg1wga-the-greatest-communications-event-in-history/

Ebay owns Paypal. Paypal cut Voat off years ago and stole thousands in donations. Fuck ebay.

No, PayPal is a standalone business. eBay stopped owning them in 2015. In fact, at the beginning of this year they signed a new agreement to partner with a different payment service called Ayden in 2020.

I'm sure paypal would LOVE to allow voat on their ebay platform and definitely wouldn't lock Voat's paypal account and steal all of their money after it has accumulated a nice sum of cash no SIREEE

Yeah. Good point!

PayPal has already removed its service from Voat.

I only use paypal to buy firearms related accessories just because paypal is so anti gun.

You know, I'm noticing something common constantly happening with companies who use paypal. I can't really put my finger on it though.

more like companies who are financial partners to visa and mastercard

@puttitout doesnt want to -make- money on voat, because then it becomes a business, and becomes actionable under the law. (as far as i'm aware)

Bingo, this guy gets it. Correct if this ever becomes a profit making venture then there will be trouble. That's not to say we cannot help keep the costs of this operation covered to ensure peace of mind and ease of life for putt at the same time. If it was a 100% total no no then he would not have provided the address and would probably just close the site.
