I love this shithole. My tech skills are fairly meager but I would absolutely contribute monetarily and otherwise to Voat's survival or whatever can be built from it's ashes.
If you have any ideas/suggestions to BuiLd BAcK BetTEr post them. Example: I've heard of some anonymous/distributed hosting tech that could let a place like this survive, but I have no idea if they're really functional.

The reason that Putt doesn't accept donations and only informs us 4 days before the closure of the site is that this was always a honeypot to collect data on right-wing users.
magpul ago
NOT TRUE.
The reason that Putt doesn't accept donations is that he still has ~300 bitcoins he moved out to a different BTC wallet from voats official wallet and the coins are worth 400 * $23,000 , this week : $9,200,000
(The bitcoin donation addy that was on voat for ages):

What does "1Ph" have to do with the official address? The official address only received 58.80021396 BTC in total and is sitting at 0.36332327 BTC right now.
magpul ago
Wallet had about $20 million in it on May 1st 3.5 years ago : https://voat.co/v/whatever/1871503
mikenigger ago
Don't just link another fucking thread, you didn't prove "1Ph" has anything to with voat and the official address has a transaction volume of less than 100 BTC, so how does a 700+ BTC wallet come into the picture?
magpul ago
in 2017 voat.co was down to their last 61 million US dollars provable via a bitcoin history wallet tool : https://www.walletexplorer.com
voat's two BTC wallets :
They're both deposit addresses to the same bitcoin wallet.
mikenigger ago
Voat never got 700+ BTC from its users, just look at the transaction volume for those addresses.
Walletexplorer is more than likely showing the balance of some exchange.
generate ago
apparently walletexplorer can detect related addresses. Unfuckingbelievable
mikenigger ago
rake in ten times as much bitcoins with this simple trick, miners hate him!
generate ago
I still don't see 700 BTC . But may be mossad just paid Putt to shut down the site?
mikenigger ago
https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/00000014ea8b260f this one went up to 445 today, i'm not sure which link supports the 700 claim
generate ago
I doubt it all belongs to Putt

Would those bitcoin not have been spend a long time ago?
Defy ago
That's a savings account. You keep those air gapped, then a small checking type account for BTC. Probably been paying from that account and seeing it go up value so much he doesn't need to reload.
magpul ago
much but not all
Acerphoon ago
So money is not the problem then? Then what is.

A lack of strong character.

Unless the problem is related to a lawsuit about vote that cashes his BTC. Now, they something they can sue him about and an actionable asset they can take from hi if they win.

Mental fatigue.
Could you imagine running one of the most targeted sites on the web?
Voat is the last bastion of free speech and has been the target for years.
magpul ago
It is coded with a type of bug that causes a lockup, but not the lock we experience. That lock we experience, I propose is caused by a giant full forensic debug dump, meant to understand the nature of voats crash. Its probably a interdependancy lockup, or a recursion lockup , or a incorrect sort filter order bug. you filter THEN sort , never sort then filter. The three minutes voat goes down is probably a state dump. Longer than 3 minutes is a full server reboot and corruption scan of databases... for a total of ??? minutes.
better coding , switching to javascript and node, use of Mongo database, could all help it scale and run fine.

The toaster it runs on only has 5 megabytes of storage. Worse, once it heats up, it ejects both drives out the top. Putt needs to jam a knife behind the handle to keep them from ejecting.
