I think i'm gonna change the name of wolfballs

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨masterofballs@wolfballs.com⁩ to ⁨main@wolfballs.com⁩

I don't have time right now to write the migration scripts but I bought a new cool secret domain and I think i'm gonna move to it eventually.

People keep thinking this is a furry website.

wolfballs will forward to the new address automatically so web users won't have to do anything.

lemmur app users will have to enter a new url. old logins will still work.

I have a couple things on my to do list I want to do next year,

Create a Pinephone app. This will be made in kirigami a QT framework. Will support other instances of course.
Create a TShirt shop. This will require hosting a bitcoin/etherium payment processor. I really don't want to write my own that could take forever. But I will write my own shop and probably take payments with this payment processor https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver
Host pleroma to go hand in hand with wolfballs to help grow both instances.
Move to new domain name.

Just some thoughts I have to help grow the platform. I've got some work stuff I have to focus on right now but these are my goals. So if I'm not shit posting a bunch i'm probably working on these or day job stuff.

I am not sure what this will do for federation, so please send me a message when you do migrate just in case I lose all my subscriptions

ahhh I didn't even think of furries, interesting

but yeah others complained about the name, saying it wasn't a serious site, but I thought the silly name was kind of a buffer against seriousness; it's why my username is kind of playful, rather then FREESPEECHORELSE or something like that, I feel it kind of takes the edge off some people's intensity

I'm up for help on pinephone app if you want to discuss it in element

  Would love help. I need to get a POC up first I guess. That's the one I'm most excited about so I might do that first.

  Would be funny to spin up a few silly instances like that. Wolfcunts was available last I checked. Could make a instance dedicated to women. Lol disable voting and say women shouldn't vote. That would drive the libs insane.
  
  I named my WiFi wolfballs to fuck with my neighbors. Thats where I got the idea. My wife hates it when her friends ask for the WiFi lol.

What's the new link going to be?
- masterofballs@wolfballs.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago
  I'll let everyone know when I migrate. It could end up being a couple months If I can't find time so I don't want to commit to the exact name yet. I need a few days to write the sql scripts, test it ect...

    I suggest you try to get some feedback on the new name, at least from a small but trusted group of users before just setting up a redirect one day.

Per point 2, managing bitcoind isn't too difficult. I'm not a great dev but I managed to get it working just to tinker with. The documentation on API usage is pretty good. Do you have any plans of accepting other crypto like XMR or LTC? Bitcoin and Ethereum are good in their own right but neither is great for small transactions because of the high fees, and they aren't very good privacy-wise either.

  Yeah I would love to accept coins that are cheaper to spend with. I didn't see any open source payment processors for other coins though.

  Monero or PirateChain

  - Esperantist@wolfballs.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago
    I never heard of PirateChain until now, so I skimmed the white paper and it looks pretty cool! I don't fully understand how the ZCash zero-knowledge transaction system works, admittedly, but it always bothered me that privacy was optional. From my reading it seems like, among other things, Pirate Cash is basically ZCash but with privacy always on, right?
    
    For now I think I'll stick to Monero, just for the sake of it being battle-tested by criminal groups. It's sort of like alternative anonymity networks like i2p in my view. They may be superior in every way, but until someone is willing to put their neck on the line betting on that tech, I can't really be sure how well it works if only because I don't have the technical background to consider all possible weaknesses to the new system. I still might buy in though, I got into Monero way too late but I'm in now and holding on tight.

Or we could ditch the whole free speech thing and embrace the dirty furry slutwagon that this site has become
