Hahahaahahaha holy shit. Hiveway is a fork of Mastodon with blockchain slapped on top, selling ICO tokens, and John McAfee is involved. Wew lad
@gargron At least they removed the Masto branding so if they do a scam-like type of shit maybe Masto won't suffer from it :')
@Gargron John McAfee is a psychopath lmao
@Laurelai Didn't he kill someone for real?
@nev @Laurelai @Gargron probably killed a guy, probably ran a drug cartel in belize where he deffinitely did muscle out the local law and had a harem of underaged girls. Link: https://www.wired.com/2012/12/ff-john-mcafees-last-stand/
@Shotagonist @Gargron @Laurelai surely at this point you'd think *someone* would want him dead?
@ChrisWere @Gargron @Laurelai I think his biography would make a pretty entertaining docudrama movie though. I'd watch it with popcorn'n'coke.
@drequivalent @Gargron @Laurelai Yeah, it would make quite an amusing movie. I imagine it as a slightly techier version of The Disaster Artist.
@ChrisWere @Gargron @Laurelai Disaster Artist + Pirates of Silicon Valley with a pinch of Pablo Escobar movies.
@ChrisWere @Laurelai @Gargron he didn't even make it out of the Libertarian primaries lol
@Gargron what a weird post to read first thing in the morning
@Gargron the whole thing just sounds cursed
@Gargron would this be "like Bitcoin but for Twitter," or "like twitter but for blockchain"?
@Gargron ._________.
@gargron i don't see any source links?
@nightpool @gargron They stated they're a fork https://github.com/hiveway/hiveway/blob/master/COPYRIGHT
@morguldir @Gargron @nightpool @Eramdam theem fucks! They must be joking. Fuck this shit. Dickheads! 🤢
@nightpool @gargron I mean. They seem to want to hide their affiliation to Masto/fediverse so I'm not surprised 🤷
I'd rather keep blockchains out of the fediverse. If the fediverse becomes a place for financial contracts and money exchange then this will invite a whole new level of badness.
@bob @Eramdam @gargron @nightpool fediverse culture ruined by investment bankers. sounds real fun
@Eramdam @nightpool @Gargron wait, how do you INTEGRATE eth blockchain into mastodon <.<
@Eramdam @nightpool @Gargron the summary of changes is hilarious. Basically slap etherium in there and hide features and branding. This must have taken them like what, a week?
@Gargron It federates with Mastodon, so I'm happy that it exists 😁
@Gargron I foresee no possible way in which this goes badly. /sarcasm
@Gargron Well, I guess you'll have to stop developing Mastodon. You can't compete with something that has a blockchain /s
@Gargron Was trying to read their whitepaper. The hypocrisy was intolerable. Had to give up.
@Gargron I've got so many questions… https://chaos.social/media/YzjpEpXsE4vS8OxLq-8
@Gargron This..is really bad.
@Gargron what does the coin even uh do.
Toots are proof of work
@Gargron I am glad to see yet another proof of how companies and investors create value everyday.
@gargron Hiveway is such an awful name too. It brings to mind either itchy red bumps, or a shitload of bees, on a highway.
@vantablack @gargron tbh, I read 'hiveway' in the timeline with no context and I was like "is this some new homestuck thing?"
@vantablack @gargron Bees on a Highway, on the other hand, sounds excellent
@Gargron Mastodon is dead, again, sorry.
