 scapegote | Spyware has changed drastically | 01:11:56 |
| scapegote | there is now a public market for data so companies can afford to put more time and effort into their spyware, making them more feature rich and competitive than actually non malware products and programs | 01:12:31 |
| scapegote | How do you monetize something for free? besides opt in I really dont know | 01:12:54 |
| scapegote | I dont know much about computer programming magic. | 01:13:31 |
| scapegote | nitro doesn't offer much that they didn't just arbitrarily gate, but people are willing to pay for it | 01:13:44 |
| scapegote | having them (paid features) work on the main instance only via verified hash is an idea, but that requires centralization afaik, and theres no gaurentee it would be easy to do. | 01:14:33 |
| scapegote | a lot of youtube alternatives will just never get off the ground due to lack of advertising needed to keep these content creators afloat | 01:15:19 |
 ophiuchus2 | another problem with advertisers is they can dictate what content is allowed to be on the platform, constantly threaten to pull ads and essentially control the business | 01:22:18 |
| ophiuchus2 | one idea i had was to offer paid content like nitro, but require users to pay with crypto tokens (ETH, ERC-20 tokens). the fee structure could be divided to incentivize hosting. for example, the "home" server could get 80% of the fees, 15% goes to all hosting providers collectively and the remaining 5% goes to token holders. | 01:28:11 |
| ophiuchus2 | so anybody could host a server and register via a smart contract to join the 15% pool. we would need some kind of mechanism in place to ensure that the registered instances are valid. | 01:31:39 |

| scapegote | This just got rolled out on me | 15:49:27 |
| scapegote | so I decided while the anger is hot I would like to ask you a few questions | 15:49:39 |
| scapegote | One: How often do you work on wrong think a week/month in hours? | 15:49:56 |
| scapegote | Two: How much would I have to pay you an hour to work more ? | 15:50:06 |
| ophiuchus2 | I have recently been involved in some crypto related side projects, so I haven't had much time to work on wrongthink over the past 1.5 months. I haven't forgotten about it and fully intend to continue development once my crypto stuff calms down. | 15:59:57 |
| ophiuchus2 | I think it's needed now more than ever, a real solution to the censorship problems. | 16:02:33 |
| ophiuchus2 | The most I can put in is probably ~10 hours a week. The problem is I have a full time tech job which takes up a lot of time, ideally we would need to attract more developers to this project. | 16:03:52 |
| scapegote | Well I am willing to fund it | 16:18:56 |
| scapegote | even if its an hour a week only | 16:19:00 |
| scapegote | Please consider my offer | 16:19:06 |
| scapegote | a man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones | 16:19:32 |
| scapegote | I can pay in crypto if needed | 21:31:22 |
