Ya know, I tried that whole "paying for" thing. Then voat stopped taking payments. Not saying it was by choice. Transparency is all some of us are asking for. The canary is dead and @puttitout is nowhere to be found lately. It's concerning. Some people aren't good at expressing their concern but something is obviously wrong here.
Putt has taken long breaks from the platform a few times before, especially after chaotic periods.
Voat didn't stop taking payments, it was shoa'd by all payment processors. Then Putt didn't feel right taking money for a while because the waves were rocking the boat pretty hard & he didn't know if we'd still be here today, so he took down the bitcoin address. Then the angel arrived.
Besides, you never "paid for" Voat, you donated to something you believe in or enjoy to encourage it.
Sorry to butt in but that angel story sounded shifty as fuck. Likely jew money and with it will come the inevitable.
Places like these don't care about users, they're not paid to. And eventually the alphabet agencies join. I'm in Europe and they sure as hell do, esp. after St. Tarrant, so sure as hell they do in the US, especially with jews running your government and your bolshevik FBI.
But they're slow. So just accept that every once in a while, you have to move your shit to somewhere else. Nobody will read your shit twenty years from now, so stop with the hoarding mentality. Just post somewhere new and whomever finds your stuff there interesting is a win.
Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to take down the crypto address. Who knows if it would have covered costs or not, but it seems like an easy solution if it could. Maybe Putt didnt want to deal with the accounting?
That's what BitCoin ATMs and local BitCoins are for. You pay cash for BitCoins and you either send them directly or use an anonymous wallet in between like the Daily Stormer's situation where their donation address gets flagged by many services.
Pay a friend to open the PO box, rotate PO boxes and locations.
I don't have all the answers ... but all I'm saying is where there's a will, there's a way -- We know trying to get big tech to cooperate isn't happening, so until they're put in their place ... shit, I didn't hear a better suggestion from you.

Looking back on Voat & Putts history, nope.
Putt has taken long breaks from the platform a few times before, especially after chaotic periods.
Voat didn't stop taking payments, it was shoa'd by all payment processors. Then Putt didn't feel right taking money for a while because the waves were rocking the boat pretty hard & he didn't know if we'd still be here today, so he took down the bitcoin address. Then the angel arrived.

No, he said so himself.
Don't recall if it was an announcement or a comment, @peaceseeker is the faggot who might recall in nore details.

So even when you pay, your not paying?
Rotteuxx ago
What payment have you made to Voat that was accompanied by a guarantee of service or a return?
Violentlight ago
You must have left that requirement out of your original argument. Getting really specific now.

How about a PO box or three ... and good old paper envelopes, stamps, and the mail!?
Fuck payment processors, and until fiat dies the death it deserves, physical cash is still king of anonymous payment methods.

Crypto should be easier, Voat does accept BitCoin. https://bitbacker.io/user/voat/

Traceable. Forever ... unlike cash, which leaves no trail.

Fuckin' A !
Putt should definitely make himself an easy target like that.

There are lots of ways to make it happen.
Pay a friend to open the PO box, rotate PO boxes and locations.

Amen to this. Let's use their worthless fiat against them.
