I'm actually going to be replacing the backend with react but it's in development ! Absolutely a valid point and wordpress should never be a long term goal indeed. I'm just one man right now! Maybe someday with a team I could have produced it from scratch rapidly



It's on a dedicated bare metal server, Intel xeon E3-1230v6, 32GB of ram and 2 450 gb nvme drives. Guaranteed 1Gbps in, 500 Mbps Out. I know I really need a lot of power for live chat to stay a viable thing. The software being efficient will also be as important hence switching to react based UI and js backend. For now simplicity was kind of really the key. Progressive enhancement is good in my book but some people see it as weakness.

Ok so I will try to vaguely answer some of the questions and then later I'll try to respond more individually! To be honest I didn't expect this much of a response so was slow in checking these messages.

First my motivation is that when I joined the crypto community in a sense that I started trying to learn I found a lack of ways to explore reliably within the ecosystem. I know that everyone has a unique experience! Some people probably quickly find their community and can just hop in and that's great for them.

My thought was making a place you could connect without the pressure. So in a sense you can just browse around as crypto # whatever - and let other people be the members/moderators etc as it grows or you can register and try to build and help a little community thrive into a big one.

The token/coin - the idea is it will inevitably cost money to power the back end and moderate as was mentioned many times above. If even a measly 1% of the trades of the coin paid for it I feel I could power this and even leave it as a passive place for people to visit for quite a few years. We all know it costs money to run things - instead of charging anyone I thought first maybe try one of these coins.

I know a lot of people will question my experience and ability to pull off something quite this extreme. I have been developing websites most of my life however I'm a very technical person. I don't always have the "great style and attractive design" but I can generally design very optimized high performing applications.

Part of this is also a learning experience. If it does fail I've learned a LOT and will continue to learn to try and enhance the project. If it can survive for 20 years I'd say that's worth it and that it was a good long lived project. If it lasts for 6 months I can say here's something I tried in this area of the web and it might not have worked but what have I learned from it, and move on. Technology changes quickly - Telegram and other chat mediums ban and suspend accounts just because new users don't know "the ins and outs" of blockchain advertising.

Hopefully people can join this chat and just say "Hey I'm trying to learn about this can someone talk to me or give me a few answers to my questions" and in the end they fall into a community of helpful and caring people. That's why I don't even mind if people invite others to their telegram groups. I'm not trying to get rich and this isn't a grand scheme - it's just something I felt was kind of missing, which is a live chat / shoutbox style chat with lots of people with similar interests.

Thanks! You guys are great and are bringing the best questions. I'm trying to make my intentions clear so maybe it answers a few at once!  Also feel free to reach out on telegram https://t.me/a_crypto_chat - I'd love to tell you about the project and what I have in mind longer term

I have been heavily developing this, hope everyone likes it and would like any criticism or improvements that could be made! The altcoin is TALK, A crypto chat currently has chats for eth and bsc chains but I plan to expand it as much as possible!
