February Public Delivery Thread

All the latest news & updates on PQ development progress, including the exciting announcement that we are now ready to show the world the look & feel of the PQ interface!

Follow the thread for more details:
You can see the full public delivery meeting video here: vimeo.com/683644353 featuring myself & @seanodiggity presenting @Panquake news and updates, as we do every single month!

Our crowdfunding campaign is at $172,400+ raised so far. Donate here: panquake.com/donate

2/
You may have noticed the recent tweet by @JohnKiriakou endorsing PQ.

John is one of the first people in the world to see the PQ application working & described it as 'futuristic'.

It was huge for us to get to demo PQ for him in this way & we can't wait til you can see it too!
February saw dramatic progress on the build of the PQ interface. Dozens more key elements are now integrated and functioning. Some will require further refinement/enhancement but the meat in the sandwich is there! (Or the flour in the pancake!)

4/
Our team are currently doing payment integrations. Very soon, we'll have the ability for users to complete the entire sign-up/registration/payments workflow. A key milestone.

At the very end of the front-end build, we'll implement an optional orientation flow for new users

5/
Last month we set some near-term delivery goals. Both February milestones were achieved. March is already proceeding as planned. However, due to external circumstances we are anticipating a possibility of delay in blockchain development & will advise/revise if delays do occur

6/
As we do every month, we have transparently released our @tl_eng statistics. Continued subscriber growth and still a very, very high average opening rate above 30% per newsletter emailed to our subscribers.

Congratulations team!

7/
So here we are, in the FINAL PHASE of crowdfunding @Panquake!

Once we hit 100% on Phase 3 the campaign will be complete, Panquake will be delivered & we'll be a self-sustaining software product, built by you, for you!

Every donation gets us closer: panquake.com/donate

8/
On the surface of it, 500k could seem a lofty target to for Phase 3 but it's a necessary one:

Because we don't want Panquake users to have to deal with robots

We want you to have real service, from real people. Hiring, training & paying real staff is expensive but worth it!

9/
Everything about @Panquake is different from anything that has come before. There are countless reasons to celebrate the coming of this vital social media service. I'd love to know - what is yours? What are you most looking forward to about PQ?

10/
In coming weeks we'll be reaching out to our network & planning an official unveiling of our next generation interface design. The wait will be short - you'll get to see it soon :)

& we'll be back at the end of March with more campaign & development updates. See you then!

Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:

Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, BBC, DW (German), Kyiv Independent, NZ Herald, TASS, PBS, RT

+ @ASBMilitary & co

1/?
I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position

When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet

They ALL have their own slants

2/?
I also watch both left & right wing podcasts & you tube shows. I follow & watch people I like and ideologically align with AND those who I don't, every single day

Living in Russia, I also have real world experience/perspective

My opinions reflect my analysis of the whole

Here it is! January Public Delivery Thread!

Sorry this is a couple of days late due to IRL hiccups with filming but the presentation was prepared on time so all stats are accurate as of Jan 31st

Read on for all the news about our progress over the course of the last month

1/
We are in Phase 3 (of 3) for funding @Panquake. Once we hit the target, we won't need to fundraise anymore & BETA will be delivered!

We're still accepting BETA applications here: panquake.com/5000

@tl_eng catapulted forward with @seanodiggity's GETTR investigation

2/
As for @Panquake dev progress last month we revealed our interface had functioning elements in place. This month, the core structural components are basically complete

Our drag & drop panels move around & reset correctly & are now customizable - resizable, pop-outable & more

Went to check out GETTR.

First thing I see: the site uses tracking cookies.
Second thing I see: it collects email addresses & phone numbers.
Third thing I see: Advertising on its dashboard.

That isn't alternative social media.

It's the same old data surveillance rehashed.
Having a closer look. Here's their privacy policy. Which is basically an anti-privacy policy.

GETTR is registered in the United States & thus subject to US jurisdiction.

So, it's Parler 2.0.
After some lip service to claiming they only collect what you voluntarily give them (incl your SEARCHES!), scroll down a little bit further & find they actually fingerprint your browser, device & router info

(Panquake is engineered to avoid capturing of ANY of this information)

THREAD: December Public Delivery Meeting

Yesterday @seanodiggity & I presented the most consequential developments in the history of our project

In this thread, I'll break it down

Full video: vimeo.com/660014239

1/
Last week, we hit our Phase 2 funding target of 167k and launched Phase 3, where we will raise an additional 500k to complete the service delivery of the product. More details about this later.

Incidentally, to celebrate Phase 3 I got some cool new graphic templates :P

2/
In terms of general campaign progress, we're ecstatic to have the final goalposts in sight and will work to meet the final target as fast as possible.

In the meantime, we are progressing the blockchain build & performing the BETA delivery vetting for our first 5,000 users

This Twitter thread is going to raise half a million dollars

Panquake Phase 3 - Final Funding Round!

In Phase 1 & 2 you helped us establish a multi-national company & funded our BETA product build

NEXT: we'll fund hiring & training support staff & launching/marketing Panquake!
Each time a Phase 3 donation is made, I will announce it on this thread.

This thread will remain pinned to the top of my timeline until Phase 3 is complete, so that our many thousands of supporters can keep track of our progress!

Who would like to kick this off? :D
2021 was a hell of a year - at every turn, interests set against social media user freedom reared their ugly heads

Twitter tried to stop us. Didn't work
PayPal tried to stop us. Didn't work
DDOS networks tried to stop us. Didn't work

The people united can never be defeated!

Anti-competitive behaviour, a genuine mistake or AI incompetence?

The platform you're using right now granted the platform we are building a new name

Then when we used it, instantly & "permanently" banned BOTH our old & new account

Will they fix it? That's up to you. Retweet!
It is the nature of the AI beast that prevented me from using any keywords that might stop the above tweet being seen.

But here's the receipts..
