Cloudflare: "Terminating Service for 8Chan" -

[3119967d0c]

Blockchains are forever, so anything blockchain-based will have that issue. That's ultimately a problem for the maintainers of blockchains.

For instance, there is arguably CP and other illegal content in the Bitcoin blockchain itself, so theoretically anyone who maintains a full node with the entire chain is duplicating that.



Generally a focus on the legality of a technology when it is known to be used for illegal conduct is whether it also has substantial legitimate uses. However, the intention of the technology's creator is part of the context in which this is judged, and CP is an issue where authorities have been known to be remarkably harsh in evaluating such conduct.

Anyone serious about making a platform that operated in this matter would recognize the need to implement a means for pruning the blockchain when content of that type was flagged as illegal as a core feature.

Of course, for Pedowheels associates, that wouldn't be a feature. It'd be a bug.

However you don't seem to understand what an immutable ledger is and I'm frankly too bored to explain it again.

[groan] You blockchain faggots are so insufferably predictable and boring. News flash: "immutable ledgers" are not a new concept "invented" by cryptocurrencies and they're not a magic solution to much of anything. This condescending "it's not my job to educate you" shit doesn't help matters, but it's alright since you probably can't adequately explain yourself -- you're just spouting buzzwords anyway.

As for the rest, you don't get to pretend to be some "fighter" for free speech while you're actively trying to shut down someone else's speech, even if your goal is just to "fuck his shit up." You're a hypocrite. Go suck some more dick.

With Bitcoin, comment features aren't necessary and arguably shouldn't exist at all. However, in general, if you eliminate the middle of a blockchain you've just broken the chain of authentication. At least somewhere, there has to be some record of everything, even if the vast majority of nodes aren't complete.

And if the point is to create something that literally can't be censored by any central authority no matter who gets a gun to their head, why would you insert such a thing?

The problem is any such network is invariably going to be a locus of illegal activity, as happened with Freenet and every subsequent similar network.

Yeah it's an interesting model for sure right guys? Immutable, but still moderated. I mean, we didn't take the idea too far because other projects are springing up that are superior, but there are a ton of things you could do. I took my instance offline just now to troll you guys and prove a point. Maybe I'll put it back, maybe I won't. It doesn't matter really. Anyone can download the client, use it locally, host it online, modify it, mutilate it. And again, I didn't create it. My only role was I gave some free time and code for the front end and some other polish - you can see from the repo. I think the idea of filling the Ripple blockchain with shitposts is a hilarious proposition though, it's rather sad this is lost on some of you.

BlockChan was a simple proof of concept hammered out quickly to prove a point. Now that you've received the point, I'll leave you to ponder what it might be like to actually have what you've been whinging about for the last fucking decade. Some day soon these types of platforms will be what people run to. Screenshot this.

hi @L33TGUY

is name "Bradley Gates" meaning anything to you? it is interest you call jim scammer, very checkered history you have.

It's post like this we need an "oww the edge" reaction. I guess "Autism" will suffice.

Swing and a miss. Not even one of my pseudonyms.

The answer is because they deserve it. And yes I agree we had that happen to us on day 1. What you need to do is get creative with moderation logic. So many options here including incentivizing mods/users with crypto. We didn't even get started on it.

Anyways I would forget about BlockChan, we're no longer interested in it and there are much more interesting things happening that incorporate some really fresh ideas with regards to moderation and board creation. I won't shill them here because quite frankly you all seem extremely disinterested and blasé with this entire concept. I did my best but I won't even try to swaddle you any further.

Oh I will absolutely say it mate. I will even BOLDFACE AND CAPS the shit for you since you seem like you need it --> I WANT TO FUCK HIS SHIT UP. I've really been asschapped with him ever since he stole 2ch, hid behind litigation with yet another shell corp, and then pulled the same trick with Fred. In webdev circles nothing is lower than stealing someone's domain. It makes you a pariah. I have more juicy dirt on Jim but I'll keep it in the vault for now. Truth is old Jim is a simple con, a perverted sexpat with a sordid past, a wolf in sheep's clothing if you will - so we'll happily tuck him into bed without a kiss.

The real heroes in this fight are guys with a history of putting some effort into running these types of services, and I'll point out that null and Fred are both on that list. Actual effort cunts with real sacrifices. You faggots yammer on about muh free speech but I'd love to know how much real effort any of you put into keeping clandestine services like maybe a p2p torrent search engine online, an encrypted pastebin, or other things of that nature. How much free code have you contributed to helping build out tools to aid the struggle. Anything? Ever been to court to defend yourself against a megacorp? I'm sure some of you guys have but remember that wringing your hands on a forum != effort.

So yeah that's it really. Out with the old, in with the new. Stand with the tech-illiterate Boomer slinging centralized 1997 broken web and fake news, I don't really care. When you see the next gen tech that actually delivers what you keep whinging about though, in all its shiny glory, remember this post.

Consider how shitty it'll be though if 8chan stays down so it isn't radicalising boomers to commit terrorism to demand the sooper sekrit report on deep state paedophiles
That's a rich seam of lulz, especially if one ends up doing something high profile like holding the DNC hostage while demanding they turn over the interdimensial reptillian child molesters

and that's not even touching the incel/alt right side


8chan is a rich catalyst of lulzy happenings, so I have an interest in seeing it continue. I mean there's the censorship thing too but if that dosen't do it for you, consider this
