Support Proof of Brain Blog Site For Free
Both Proof of Brain Sites are due for renewal soon
This website operated and started by @proofofbrainio may be abandoned soon. However the one run by myself is an alternative.
I don't expect you guys to fund me like an employee but if you can contribute a little bit to offset the hosting and name-server costs, it is something of a lot of work to merge in @ecency changes into the site. Often the same line of code is changed in different ways and through formatting, large sections of files diverge in a way which makes merging in changes like untying a ball of knots.
Proof of Brain.Blog Site
I invite you all to try out the Proof of Brain Blog site. I invite you to take a look around. If you like it, post from there.
- Prominent POB Wallet builtin.
- No #google Tracking
- No Kaptcha
- See post attributes at a glance: Like "self-voted" or "reward breakdown"
- Metric prefixes for post rewards for both Hive and Hive-Engine.
- See the post rewards in Bitcoin Core amounts. (on Ecency this always reads 0.00 BTC... because they don't do metric prefixes)
- A larger about section in the profile.
- A much more extensive Hive-Engine wallet.
- The post will update its rewards as rewards come with the need to refresh the page.
The site does log who logs in and which language is requested from the browser. From this I see that I have very few users and everyone who uses my site prefers English.

The DHF for Proof of Brain.Blog
Such a funded proposal would incentivize development and would make both Proof of Brain and Ecency better in the end. Already this happens without funding. Imagine if I could count on funding...

Is https://www.proofofbrain.blog/ already the renewed site? Or do you plan to renew it soon? I would offer to do some UX testing and maybe use it for a while instead or in addition to peakd. As I am a professional software tester, you will get high quality bug tickets if I find any :)
I used to be quite involved and also profited a lot from the hype around POB. I was out when you guys started sticking your neck out for Lucy and swift666. I really like both as content creators, but falling into their rabbit hole of the evil hive kabal was silly and from what I would guess the downfall of the whole POB Community.
Im here for a revival. The branding Proof of Brain is still better marketing than anything else on hive.
That's great to hear. Do you know Jest? You could check out the link here.
https://github.com//steemfiles/ecency-vision. If you could clone it and add tests, that would be great.
Nonono, I dont do anything code related and I hate to work with git :D
I do functional blackbox testing, maybe with some UX sprinkled in. I have written automated functional tests in the past, but I really didnt plan on brushin up my Selenium skills.
Like I said, I have never done Unit-Testing or anything like that and it is not my job. I merely take a good look at the final product from the customer perspective and tell you what bugs me. Couldnt help the pun there.
The only real plus I bring over any random user out there is that I write proper steps to repuduce in the Bug Ticket and have some experience in what I can expect from software.
Okay, I see. Feed back is still welcome. Automated testing is great for things like this. It is too tempting to skip manual testing of everything on every change and too time consuming to do it manually on every change.
Perhaps Selenium is the most reliable way to go. I have another project I am working on now privately which has a separate backend and front end programs and I only have automated testing for the backend in that project.
Oh yes, I didn't answer everything earlier. I did a re-merge with Ecency like years ago. The Ecency team had added a high-level multi-H/E wallet and named its component the same as the fine-level one I had written for managing POB.
The process of automated flagging is something I frowned apon. Now such an automated process (auto flag) is easy on Hive. So also is an automated process of posting "nice post" as a reply to everything. I totally agree with you that "evil hive kabal" rabbit hole was silly. I'd say not even true.
I think that Hive is more of an App-coin for the websites that use it. With Hive power, you can influence who gets rewarded on the platform.
We found out the biggest vulnerability of crypto is the Sun. (pun intended)
you mean this Sun?
It was pun with Justin Sun @justinsunsteem and the star we are in orbit around. There is no super-whale like in Steem but what about Ethereum? Doesn't that have superwhales? Those people could corrupt the chain worse than it is.
As for the celestial object, once the sun burned out the early telegraph systems. That was called the Carington event. If it happened today, as with most of our electronics are always plugged in, there would be a lot of damage done to electronics.
