Now that I have your attention, I have a confession to make: I lied.
Well sort of… because Voat 2.0 doesn’t exist yet, but it will in the future, and this thread is the first in a series of Quarterly Reviews we will be doing to get your feedback on what we need, what we need to improve, and the direction we need to move as a company and as a community.
I can finally announce that Voat’s features (software-wise) are now in the ballpark of a semi-functional platform. I’m not saying Voat is perfect, nor am I saying the features are mature, rather I am saying that we are nearing "acceptable" as a basic functioning platform.
But a basic functioning platform was never our end goal, it was just the first milestone we needed to hit. Now that we are approaching this milestone we need to lay out our future direction.
Voat doesn’t want to be a “clone” any longer. We want to stand up and proclaim our uniqueness. We want to put our differences on display and stake our future on them. Voat can’t survive without redefining ourselves, without evolving into something bigger, something better, something unique and new.
This is the post where we get to dream big, have no boundaries, no constraints, and live in world where everything is possible.
Hypothetical
You have an army of programmers, mountains of cash to burn, and you are the only board member: What does Voat 2.0 look like?

Make anon, non-btc donations feasible ex: pre-paid card info.

I have looked for pre-paid cards before, and from what i've found they require personal information.

What about a PO Box to send physical card bought with cash?

PO Box requires ID and more to sign up for.
You can buy prepaid cards on ebay but look at that markup... whew, and how would you pay for it anonymously?
basically, if i gave you a visa number, and you committed a crime with it, it would be traceable to me, i have looked for a way before, and it doesn't exist.

I enjoy Voat and want to donate, and you need it. But I don't want to get into btc just for that. Obviously you've looked into it thoroughly. Hope some way can be discovered. I suspect a lot of revenue could/would be generated if a way can be found. Thanks for your time.

By "get into btc" what are you afraid of specifically?
8453997? ago
I'm not "afraid". It's simply useless to me to get involved for a single purpose.
