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

Guys, address 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k is less than two weeks old. This smells like a scam.

No scam. This is the site admin's address. https://voat.co/v/whatever/2715711

Thanks, I couldn't find any direct evidence that the wallet address was legit. Easy way to scam a bunch of people in a hurry. PuttItOut should really make it globally available so there's no chance for confusion.

I agree, but from what I hear, he's conflicted about something regarding receiving donations. I don't know if it's taxes, or some other legality, but I don't think that he wanted to permanently display his address for some reason. I suppose one of us could always message him.
