  They officially announced they were switching to the Arweave protocol in a post a little under a month ago, but I’m not sure if it’s happened yet; haven’t looked further into it yet, and it was revealed by other sources a little while prior to that.

    I was curious what Arweave was, so I went to their site.

    Turns out it’s yet another crypto scheme.

    I was though this statement on their landing page was particularly funny:

    The Arweave protocol is stable, mature and widely adopted.

      It’s a blockchain system, but that doesn’t mean it’s related to cryptocurrencies in any way. Maybe it is, idk, but blockchain != cryptocurrencies, many cryptocurrencies use blockchains though because it’s useful for what they’re trying to do.

        I am aware that blockchain is not the same thing as cryptocurrency.

        And they do have a coin:

    ah so they ditched one crypto scam for another crypto scam. nice.

    why are you so dead set on dying on this hill for a video site? you’re advocating for a pro-nazi crypto scam video site.
