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.
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?

Looking back on Voat & Putts history, nope.

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.
