Plebbit can fix this. After the message boards clients are done, I we should focus on a plebbit client for fundraising using crypto, with a UI similar to Patreon, GoFundMe, GiveSendGo, etc.

The difference between general-purpose message boards like reddit and 4chan, and crowdfunding sites, is that the UX in the latter is entirely focused on maximizing visibility of each fundraise relative to its perceived value and/or established connections. The goal is to enable fundraisers to raise as much money as possible in the shortest time possible. That is why content discovery and onboarding ease is so crucial for these sites, which are designed specifically for this.

A plebbit client for fundraising would use its own default list of “subs” which are actually fundraisers, with all the necessary fundraiser info set as required values in the subplebbit, and it would still be interoperable with other plebbit clients, but every sub/fundraise would probably be token-gated (ie only who has donated can comment).

We’ll probably explore different designs for it, it will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

Disclaimer: Everything written here is my own opinion on where we're going forward, they may change or maybe I'm wrong about some things here.

I was writing this in response to this post, while writing I realized there's a lot to breakdown and it's better to be in its own post. The author is asking when will we MVP Plebbit and started heavily marketing it? What's missing here?

Well, at the moment we're working on:

• P2P nodes in browser/mobile apps (WIP, maybe out in few weeks). It should fix unreliable challenges which is an annoying problem we had for a while.

• Challenges that work for both web2/web3 crowd, without being annoying with the image captcha, ideally solving a challenge should be done in the background with no user input, or if it needed a user input, it should be a one time thing like solving a cloudflare challenge/Sign-in-with-/etc

The basic goal is to get a challenge system where 99% of spammers are filtered out. Easiest way would be for the user to prove they own money, but that's not easy with web2. So we have to rely on web2 spam filtering systems like Cloudflare/hcaptcha/etc in addition to our own karma system to establish the reputation of users.

My intuition says a challenge system with mix of web2 and web3 challenges would work very well. This is a potential one we could use, if a user fulfills any of these criteria they can post immediately without any interaction or solving challenges manually.

• user owns a blockchain name system, .eth or .sol OR
• user owns $PLEB or has a wallet with assets whose value exceed a certain threshold OR
• user owns a whitelisted NFT (plebsquat, exoplebs, etc), or an NFT custom to the sub itself
• User owns a gitcoin passport with high trust score

These are pretty web3 centric, For web2 we may need to set up intermediary services to authenticate users with familiar sign-in flows. The original idea of Tom and Esteban was to have a service whom user gives a phone number, verifies with code, and then that service would automatically mint an authentication NFT to the author's blockchain address (which is generated automatically and attached to each plebbit author).

If a new user authenticates with this service and has an NFT, they're assumed to be trustworthy by most subs (although a sub may choose to have their own challenge without relying on this particular NFT)

IMO, it could be effective in authenticating web2 people, but I have a couple of suggestions to it:

• Instead of SMS, we should use a popular chat platform to 2FA. Say, Telegram, it's free to set up a bot to authenticate users, unlike SMS which gets pretty expensive to send messages out in scale

• Adding an option to pay for your NFT with crypto, say $5 for users who may not want to give their phone number (and I'm one of them). They pay with crypto, receive the NFT on their Plebbit's blockchain address.

  • Where should the proceeds of this service goes to? IMO any extra proceeds should either buy and burn $PLEB, or donate it to Plebbit DAO's treasury once it's established.

• (Pending suggestion) although this is dependent on how we implement tipping and local economies within Plebbit, but assuming we used a blockchain with extremly low fees, wouldn't it be better to give users $PLEB instead of minting an NFT? We'd get

  • More exposure and value captured by the project's token
  • People can then use their $PLEB to tip other people, making the barrier of entry for donation pretty low

What about people who may not want to give their phone number or use crypto in any way?

Sign in with Github/Google/etc

The idea here is to have a service whose goal is to attest a user indeed owns a Github/Google/etc account, and that their account is indeed linked to their plebbit author's account. Only the subplebbits owners will know the Github/Google account, and from the info of the account they can easily infer whether the user should be allowed to post/vote etc. For example, if somebody is posting to your community with 30 github repos with a lot of stars, you know most likely they're not malicious, but even if they were you can just ban the account.

The workflow for the end user will be something like:

• User navigates to Seedit

• There would a button somewhere to sign in with <Github|Google|Facebook> etc

• Takes them to a different site, let's call auth.seedit.app

• `auth.seedit.app` asks them to sign in with their preferred website, ie Github/Gmail, a single click to sign

• auth.seedit.app after verifying their sign in, they sign a message with We have verified this user with plebbit address 12D... and their account metadata on Github/Google is '@username'.

• The user now includes this signed message in their pubsub messages (only seen by subplebbit owners)

• Subplebbit nodes will be able to read it, and trust that auth.seedit.app has made sure the user is actually a human

• (Optional) auth.seedit.app can choose to mint an NFT to the blockchain address (which is generated automatically) to the user's blockchain address, although this may not scale well in terms of cost.

Can we make this more fun for the end user?

If the user is just logging in Plebbit, they will be starting with a trust score of 0. Meaning most subs will ask them to solve a manual challenge such as an image captcha. Even after solving a challenge, their post may go to a mod queue where they have to wait to get their post approved.

There's a potential of gamifying this "trust score", and it would be a dashboard with current trust score + points for doing extra activities that raises one's trust score. Something like:

• Current trust score: 0

• Sign in with github (+20)

• Acquire an NFT (+60)

• Own a blockchain name (+20)

• Have assets on your Plebbit's blockchain address (+20)

• etc

For now, the concept of a "trust score" would only exist in the frontends as a way to motivate users to raise their trustworthiness to the various subs on the platform. But there's nothing that stops a sub from disregarding all these metrics and challenges and making up their own challenge, it is an open P2P network after all.

Because you are “the raped” if you go to therapy. Stop being a bitch, unrape yourself.

Plebbio was the initiative that some of us tried to brainstorm about how to make Plebbit available even without internet. The idea was to use radio waves, and how it was theoretically possible.

Well, the last few weeks I was bored and started looking more deeply into this before sleep every night.

I had a few knowledge gaps and I wanted to know what would be required.

Radio is very strict, as a civilian there are just a few things you can actually make, so the first thing was, what kind of radio can I use without a license? There are a few options, but the range is usually quite low. There was one option, tho, that started to make sense, it's Long Range (LoRa).

LoRa is basically a radio technology that can stretch for tens of km, uses basically no battery, requires minimum hardware, but has a huge drawback: data. It can only send small packages, so the only way to get it working would be with simple signals, like text-only messages... Which is exactly what plebbit is.

So LoRa could be the missing piece for plebbio, but does it work? Turns out, there are many regulations regarding LoRa gateways, which can make your device be banned if you send too much data or receives too much data. There is a limit per hour on how much you can send.

What are the alternatives? Well, if you build your own LoRa gateway, you can do some more stuff, but there are still many regulations. P2P LoRa, however, is not regulated, since it's P2P, but it would be impossible to build a network of people to work P2P... Or wouldn't it?!

Turns out, someone already did this, it's a mesh network built on LoRa called Meshtastic. It's almost everywhere in the US as I saw their map, so it could actually work. Other countries don't have a network as well built as the US, but the setup is pretty simple, cheap, and requires no kind of license since it's all P2P. So building a meshtastic transport and adding a LoRa hat to a phone is enough to get plebbit without internet.

I'll look more into this in the next few months, since I'm finishing some stuff, but I think it might be the missing piece in the plebbio puzzle.

Don’t you see the only people buying are always the same 20 whales, dumping on each other for 3+ years? It’s soo damn funny.

Hello, pleb friends. This is it for me. I’ve been holding this coin since 2022, and since then, I really haven’t seen it go anywhere.

From what I can tell from the posts and updates, nothing has really changed so far. In my view, people will keep using Twitter or Mastodon because they’re more straightforward and, honestly, they actually have users who care about them, no matter what you guys say about decentralization and whatnot. No one cares about decentralization, P2P, or other buzzwords people throw around to convince you to use an app that lacks good UI/UX and actual communities.

The only improvement I’ve noticed is that captchas fail less often now, which is good but honestly, it’s such a tiny step forward for something that’s been in development for so long.

I’m saying I’ll sell because Esteban and BP have always been very open about their plans, so I decided to be honest about what I’ll do next. I have like 12b spread across different wallets. Feel free to frontrun me. I don’t really care. Selling PLEB will be the only profit I’ve made this cycle, but that’s only because I bought when it was around 100k on the AVAX network. It hurts me to leave because I believed in this project for a long time, but things have changed. In the case of Plebbit, though, I feel like nothing has.

Take care and good luck

he didn't sell when Plebbit was at $16 MILLION market cap LMAOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Any day now, $1.5m is too high.

Then, even lower.

Plebs have ever you ever been to afrixa? i have not, but i know its hot, humid, smelly, shittty faggety, stupid as hell, gay, full of bugs, shitty animals, shitty plants, dirty water, shitty food, demon riddled, perma cursed, worth less, nor a loat cause because a cause never even was there ever in 3 million yearS to mow, Stupid, retarded monkey level retarded, and so forth and so on.

Hello plebs. It's more over than ever.

Elon Musk be like "Move to Starbase, TX! Coolest new city in the world!" yeah, no thanks

What about stallit plebs ?

• A plebbit that looks like the inside of a men's bath room toilet stall that's where some body can sit down and leave a poop in side the toilet. Then any body can leave a message on the side of that stall for the next folks to read about. this use to be The wait e wry body send letters to each other and also strangers in the commit. That's a real good idea with 100 million dollars at least Think aboiut it

Apparently it's $10/month for everyone. Very impressive, in my opinion.
