Isn't BSV the thing Craig Wright pushes?
He's such a fraud, I wouldn't use anything associated with BSV/Craig Wright.

Interesting. So, no good? Fraud? Scam?

The thing is BSV is not original bitcoin, but a fork of it (a fork of a fork even lol): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_Cash#2018_split_to_create_Bitcoin_SV

You can still sell it for original bitcoin though on exchanges, it's just a regular cryptocurrency like Monero or whatever.

We are not associated with anything. Only BSV fits our use case, that's the reason we are using it.

BSV is Bitcoin "Satoshi's Vision".

It's a version that is the closest to the design intent in Satoshi's original white paper.

A programmer recently created code to imbed Zero-knowledge proofs (zksnarks) to make part of it into a privacy coin. If there's a demand for this tech.

BSV is in a league of it's own.

It needs privacy. Can you imagine "We saw this message and found the wallet address that goes along with it. Then we found whose BSV address this is, and that's you. Now you will come with us and answer some questions."

Hence the zero knowledge proofs. They can actually backdoor privacy into this coin because if it's code structure, and scalable design intent.

Nice. Satoshi is truly a genius, whoever he might be. Zero knowledge proofs could be used in so many aspects of modern life, but it seems like nobody wants to use them. I wonder why? Oh yeah, selling info...

bro wtf this is the exact idea that I had in mind for this gay website. did one of you leak my high iq thoughts without giving me credit? but anyway this is based as fuck I hope it takes off.

I remember when you literally came up with that idea. It was a good idea. I like the concept, too. Make pennies off of posts. Get rewarded for weird or interesting content. No downvote button. I might keep my eye on this, though I'm leery of crypto, and I like this place better. Plus, a lot of the conversations on there seem focused on cryptocurrency, and that's not really a thing I'm interested in.

now it supports monetization of communities. you can create a niche community and set a subscription fee for it. you can prevent spam and earn money at the same time. glad you liked the concept, please check it when you have find some time!

[–]stirn3r[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

didn't know about that! we would like to see you on boardz. now it also supports creating communities, even paywalled ones!

If decentralized, maybe this is where I'm headed next after Saddit.

Upon further investigation, it seems like a nice enough site, but doesn't have metatags, decentralization/federating, and the terms are not very good. They want to own all your content. I suppose that may be a pretty standard claim but it's pretty shitty.

I just want a good site. Is that too much to ask for?

Oh, hey. Neat. No downvote button. And you can make money off of upvotes. Very neat.
