You guys know the Voat drill when Reddit bans something:
Single file lines!
Voat is too broke to get real servers so we must take turns. We must act civilized and share in an orderly fashion or else it just ends up looking like a Black Friday nightmare around here and no one wants that.
So pick your time slot and stick to it, no cheating. Everyone has a 30 second window to Voat. Go.
Sorry about the downtime and slow responses, it's the best we have in Free Speechland at the moment.
Edit:
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.

Old question but by any chance we can support you in some way? Appreciate taking money for running an 'edgy' site has its own complications.
Skeeterdo ago
My understanding is the funding for the site was removed?? By credit companies or something?? Someone else can offer more insight.
Pretty sure there's a bitcoin donation but I don't remember how to access it.

Sorry about the funding thing...

Cannot believe their desperation!

why not a gofundme or some shit like that...porn attorneys and traitors get paid that way?
Rubieroo ago
Appears to be a problem with financial outfits like Paypal just seizing whatever monies voat has access to.
When you own all the banks. Payseurs et all have much to answer for.
theNakedNecromancer ago
Back in the day, we had PayPal and a couple of other donation options. The Reddit fags of the time (falsely) reported Woot as a Pedophile-haven for child porn, and PayPal froze all transactions and accounts. Now we only have Bitcoin.
KarlKek ago
If cryptonote was a donate option...
Dark_Shroud ago
Good thing Putt posted the address in an update.
Voat's BTC donation address: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k
KarlKek ago
CryptoNote: Monero, Aeon, Bytecoin (not Bitcoin), several others... will donate for cardboard signs.
HODL my BTC. All total, 0.00274995.

Credit card companies are stupid. PuttItOut needs to create a funding source called 'How to Create Great Websites" disconnected from his/her/org/fbi name and put some legit info on it produced by him/her/org/bff/fbi/aliens name and this community. And he has to believe in it as we all do. WE ALL WANT TO CREATE GREAT WEBSITES. I know I do. And, I'm willing to pay for this course up to 150 bucks.
Funding created. I don't need an idea fee for this.

How about a GoFundMe?
AlaricTheFirst ago
How about a good, old fashioned P.O. box? We could send cash or checks. Due to this tech censorship we may have to go back to using 1990’s tech to combat it. Just pay a homeless guy to open the letters though, I don’t want Putt to get a ball of anthrax to the face.

A standard post office box, or really any mailing address, and a US dollar money order sent in the mail - old tech that works, cashable by almost any bank. Certified checks drawn on major banks work almost as well.
Setting up a bank account can offer direct wire transfer as a third method, but the money order is almost impossible to interrupt.
Good old bullion (silver or gold) is also acceptable for tax free mailing in many locations - but you have to confirm the local rules first. Again, while the price fluctuates, it has the advantage of being convertible to cash nearly everywhere.
The powers that be have no idea how dangerous it is to force sites like Voat to operate in the cash economy. Once the technique is learned it becomes very apparent that banks are no longer needed for free commerce.
Skeeterdo ago
Receiving mail would be something to this nature then

The censors at Reddit aren’t content to curate their own experience.
They want to deplatform people; so they attack sites that support free speech through campaigns against advertisers and payment processors.
illSendYouToRehabGoy ago
Reddit is owned by Conde Naste, and one they have a big enough audience, they try to shape them. Kinda like propaganda 101 imo.
AlwaysFeral ago
If Swartz hadn't already necked himself, this is the kind of thing that would've inspired him to do it anyway.
binturner ago
No they just out right deleted several sub reddits. Great Awakening q boards.
konocah6 ago
I don't know where reddit censors is. Isn’t it reddit no censors? Only NSFW
dontdoxxmefaggots ago
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
konocah6 ago
Alright I understand
dontdoxxmefaggots ago
go to any comment thread on reddit and replace the 'r' in 'reddit' in the url with a 'c' for 'ceddit' and behold the censorship
illSendYouToRehabGoy ago
Go to any heavily trafficed sife and comment that Lenin was a jew... See what happens. Its like an autodelete function built into amazon web services or something.
The_Litehaus_Abides ago
I'm now using removeddit (replace reddit in uRL with removeddit). It's great.
Voopin__Voopin ago
One of our own made ceddit
@go1dfish
He also had another one that was the same thing. But I forget the name.
Buy local, guys. Support your hometown goats. :)
go1dfish ago
ceddit/snew is the only project of this sort I’m involved in.
I’m frequently mistaken as the creator of unreddit unedditreddit (this is what I think you’re talking about) and others.
My project is focused entirely on mod removals and is a registered Reddit client that follows all their requirements.
Others restore user deleted content as well in violation of Reddit policy and imo a slightly aggressive act against those who delete their own content.
Unedditreddit took some clear inspiration from snew and sprung up at a time when I was neglecting snew (ssl errors).
Thanks for the shout out
The_Litehaus_Abides ago
I just gave it a try and I like it. The little PacMan while it's loading, the layout of the page -- everything.
I'm going to use ceddit from now on. Thank you!
go1dfish ago
Always glad to find people who appreciate my efforts :) glad you like it.
The_Litehaus_Abides ago
Haha, great! Thank you!

I can pay in crypto.

Voat does accept Bitcoin.
BTC donation address: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k
peachblossom ago
yep, best way. Use Verge cryptocurrency. It's super fast, tiny fees and anonymous.
LostandFound ago
I understand theres no way to currently give donation, dont even have an address to post some cash!
HST ago
Yea I don't know if that wallet is still active, but all the payment processing companies (think PayPal) have rejected voat.
Last I heard there was an "angel donor" who put a ton of money into voat. But that was at least a year and a couple months ago.. Right after we almost went bankrupt.
Spud4ever ago
Need to get to work on a way to fix this folks (perhaps by GA folks funding forum, we wouldn't become the ones to get thrown out as fast)!
bernitdown ago
Angel donor you mean the CIA. This place is def a honey pot.

Rainy-Day-Dream ago
rather than paypal themselves they probably received such demands from visa and mastercard and other financial partners
Phantom42 ago
Hmm... Big reach, but perhaps it was the Q team/Friendlies? Like they figured this would happen?
HST ago
The conspiracy that is generally accepted is that it's actually a CIA honeypot. It's just so sweet..
TheTrigger ago
From what I remember, it was something stupid like tens of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins. Someone linked the wallet's history before, but I can't get to those bookmarks, atm. At the time, I think it was worth over $100,000. Not sure how much it would be now, or how much is even left.
Skeeterdo ago
This is going way back but didn't paypal seize nearly 30k from Atko?
SexMachine ago
It was for the stupidest reason too, because Voat hosts porn.... Reddit does too, so wtf?
Skeeterdo ago
I thought some cunts uploaded CP and informed paypal of it immediately after they uploaded it.
Dirty trick.
Fromthebeginning ago
Pitchfork the circle jerkin platform crushers!
ryry117 ago
I feel like Voat needs to get itself some serious legal protection against that. They surely can't be responsible for something like that, right?
It's not like if someone started a new subreddit and immediately posted cp and reported reddit, reddit would actually suffer for it.
MrPim ago
Correct. It was at the same time that they also did that with the original hosting provider
HST ago
Sounds right. No matter how much it was it was fucked.
Skeeterdo ago
It's been a wild fucking ride on this website, I have a feeling it's going to get crazier.
Rubieroo ago
Q says 297,000 worth of crazy.
Reddit says only 70,000
Sum-of-Nun ago
We do need some fall back plans, just in case.
Vvswiftvv17 ago
Poal is the fallback. Although a few faggots on here try to talk shit about it. If this goes down everyone will be flocking.
Rubieroo ago
And then the last place Q says will be left standing once Twitter and Facebook (and likely Youtube) have forced removal of Q information and followers - https://8ch.net/patriotsfight/catalog.html
sn00tyfr00T ago
Correct. Then Q will run the biggest volunteer crowd sourced open source investigation army on the planet
