8kun's been under attack for months.
Authenticators that work for companies like Boeing have not worked for us because there's no way to tie the spammer to an account and kick him out. PROTO solves that problem by linking each user to a Proto pass.
Jim W previously offered free Proto posting for two months. But this requires a card upfront, this is the system used by his popular 5chan in Japan. Due to a tough political climate in USA, not a popular option with anons so far. The plan below provides anons with more options for posting during spam attacks, which can last for up to 48 hours.
DURING FREE PERIOD (until Jan 31 2023)
-
Many thanks to the anons who have already subscribed @ $5/month, you will not be charged for the first four months when paid subscriptions kick in.

Jim W gives a way to get Proto passes allowing you to post when Proto is on without a card. They're good thru the end of Jan 2023, see >>17798916. Admins are also working on options allowing an anonymous annual pmt starting in Feb.

Bakers, note-takers, diggers and anons interested in getting more involved in board support can ask BO about longer term passes @ F4al@protonmail.com.
