They stopped doing it last I checked

Exactly

This is a great question and it was a difficult choice. If it doesn’t work out in this paradigm then we’ll experiment with a federated one.

We looked into the stats of various federated forums (lemmy, nostr) and found that they are all dying. Slowly, but seemingly irreversibly. Furthermore, the forums that actually bring us, and our partners, the most profit are all centralized. Bitcointalk, BestChange, and of course Dread, Reddit and Twitter although those are general-purpose platforms.

edit: Just to add to that comment. Companies we work with, ourselves as well, spend tens of thousands of USD per month on advertising on these non-federated platforms and forums. They do so, because it pays off. I have yet to see a single such effort on a federated platform. If someone else tests it and finds it to be a viable investment, we’ll of course follow suit

We’re working on loading all the fonts locally so Google will be no more. However, we’re keeping CF on the clearnet version. We get to many DDoSes to disable CF. Our Tor and I2P mirrors are free of CF stuff, but also go offline sometimes when the attacks are too powerful

Thank you! <3

Yes there is, you can just prepend the subdomain to our existing Tor and I2P domains, so: Tor: http://forum.rnwis2whetqcj4oknksnc5l24jbh33nflunifff3xtjjonnoxu3ld6id.onion I2P: http://forum.h74rtjzibohtgaehqyvy3cquqrsgn3pyxxqzwiw3u7mxal6n66ra.b32.i2p

Twitter, Reddit, I always email computer science and finance departments in local unis too.

If they have researchers who work with crypto then I will email them directly. I try to find people working for crypto companies and contact them directly as well.

In Liechtenstein I emailed the Prince of Liechtenstein, he didn’t come, but he did respond lol
