Wanna move the goalposts some more? Don't you think the authors should be able to choose what is the best funding method for their project? Earlier you cried about crypto being ALL a scam, now you are the concerned citizen fearing from wallets being blacklisted. While crypto has many downsides worth discussing, there is no reasoning to be had with anti-crypto zealots like you..

> Earlier you cried about crypto being ALL a scam, now you are the concerned citizen fearing from wallets being blacklisted. It's both. It is yet another reason why nobody should use crypto. Why should anyone use a wallet that is associated with a blacklisted address? It is simply not worth the hassle, especially when the stats shows that people are not confident in the reliability or safety crypto even if they have heard about it, here is a direct link to this so that you can print this at home: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/10/majority-of-americans-arent-confident-in-the-safety-and-reliability-of-cryptocurrency/sr_2023-04-10_crypto_1/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/10/majority-... > Don't you think the authors should be able to choose what is the best funding method for their project? I hope you're not suggesting that crypto is the best method because we both know it isn't. It would be like busking for donations in Chernobyl. You can technically do it except nobody is or will be there to give it to you. The same can be said for crypto. You might as well use the payment systems that everyone is using rather than a volatile Rube-Goldberg machine appeals mainly to criminals. > While crypto has many downsides worth discussing, there is no reasoning to be had with anti-crypto zealots like you. Yes. There are only many downsides, no upsides. It's far quicker not to bother with crypto than to try and use it. Only criminals are bothered with it because it fits their use case better, illegitimate and criminal activity.
