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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

apparently walletexplorer can detect related addresses. Unfuckingbelievable

rake in ten times as much bitcoins with this simple trick, miners hate him!

I still don't see 700 BTC . But may be mossad just paid Putt to shut down the site?

https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/00000014ea8b260f this one went up to 445 today, i'm not sure which link supports the 700 claim

I doubt it all belongs to Putt
