Member is spammed with BitClout content. After a long interruption, I switch back to Memo. BitClout is junk. I have to give a phone number. Only supports BTC and not BCH.
I understand the antipathy towards the BitClout content, I really do, and I hope to have a way to filter it for you soon.
However, it is very useful to have this content - it really
| helps to scale Member by importing large volumes of content. I've made several performance improvements already. You'll see this improves Member after the integration is complete.
There is a `showbitclout` setting now.
I see "show BitClout images" in settings only. I can't hidden BitClout posts.
It doesn't seem to work though.
I don't know what @FreeTrade was doing when he implemented/let BitClout be implemented, but it's a loss for those who wants to use Memo while locked out of the site.
That is no loss. Be happy that you don't see it. You can't interact with these people. I have the impression that they are some kind of fake accounts.
It really might be. FreeTrade was able to connect BitClout's messages to the Memo Protocol, which does reveal a rather... surprising amount of things about it.
I actually tried to register with the BitClout, but when I saw that they require phone number and only support BTC, I gave up.
I think that requirement is gone now - that was an annoying requirement.
If you want to try again, I can send you some funds to get you started. I'm not sure it'll be your cup of tea
| though. ;)
No thanks. I still have to give my phone number. Minimum deposit is 0.0006 BTC. With the horrendous BTC fees, that's several coffee cups.
Sorry, but the fact that they don't support BCH is reason enough for me not to use it.
I did see a few crypto influencers calling it a scam, and after hearing scottcbusiness's video and the fact that their encryption isn't really secure at all plus those, well...
there are some very scammy parts to it. Some very interesting parts too. it's a mixed bag
Best to not follow through and just watch through the sidelines. Member was able to relay BitClout posts, after all. Who knows how insecure must it really be to be compat with Memo...
I decided to use Memo again anyway. This BitClout is just annoying.
Like Memo, it's an open database of content, that's something I like about it.
