Talk:BitClout

Split "similar cryptocurrencies" section
I've proposed splitting the "similar cryptocurrencies" section, since it was originally deleted by 136.25.19.68 for being an "advertisement". Pinging recent contributors:. Duckmather (talk) 05:18, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I cut the section again - none of this is about Bitclout at all. We can consider what to do with the content, but it's largely cited to non-RSes with forward looking claims - we'd need solid RSes for all of it, and they're just not there - David Gerard (talk) 10:19, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Then I suggest splitting this article for real. (In fact, I just reverted your edit, as a measure in preparation, as I was intending to do a bold split anyways before I saw your reply.) I can try splitting it if anyone else is behind me. Duckmather (talk) 00:30, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It should be a category, and that category should only contain those with RSes.
 * Also, could you please stop re-adding non-RSes to the article - CoinDesk is listed explicitly on WP:RSP as a non-RS, and other crypto sources are worse - David Gerard (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I have removed the section from this article again, because it absolutely doesn't belong in an article about BitClout - none of the text or sources are about the article. And none of it was sourced to RSes anyway. I have also removed the unreliable sources again - please don't deliberately add unreliable sources to Wikipedia articles. If you ever want to get around to doing the split, the material is still in the article history - but there's no evidence any of these are notable - David Gerard (talk) 15:58, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm in the middle of splitting the BitClout article right now. (Adding this comment because I was just notified that Retimuko just deleted the section again; I don't plan on reverting this, unlike the others.) Duckmather (talk) 23:18, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's all split! (I also added notability and sourcing cleanup tags to each of the newly created articles - Calaxy, Ideamarket, Roll (cryptocurrency), Rally (cryptocurrency), Coinvise, and Fyooz for obvious reasons.) Please improve each of these articles so that they don't get trashed into oblivion. Duckmather (talk) 23:37, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with David here: this section seems to have a random pile of unrelated stuff, and many sources are not acceptable at all (coindesk, cryptoslate, blogs and so on). Looking at a few of these articles you created I would think that they won't survive unless you find better sources. Retimuko (talk) 23:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Need help moving the title
Can one of the people with the administrative rights move the name of the article from "Bitclout" to "DeSo" please? It has been rebranded and it is the current name of the platform and cryptocurrency as well. I recently joined and don't seem to have the rights to do it yet.

 * ❌ - According to sources available online, these are two distinct things: BitClout (a social media platform) and DeSo (a blockchain, Foundation, and cryptocurrency). BitClout appears to run on the DeSo blockchain, but it does not appear to be known as DeSo itself. Whether DeSo merits its own stand-alone article is a different question; the current sourcing I see does not appear to warrant it. — Coffee  //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 20:15, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Deso is a much larger topic than Bitclout. Bitclout is a single node on the Deso blockchain.  There two should certainly be separate articles, or Bitclout should be removed and it can be discussed in a section of the Deso page as being the original name of Deso as well as a node/social platform on the Deso chain.  The deso blockchain was originally called "Bitclout" and so was the Bitclout.com node.  They both shared the same name.  Late last year they decided to rebrand the blockchain as "DeSo" but keep the node running as Bitclout.   Thenewsoftoday (talk) 22:03, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey the information in this article is a bit off. There needs to be 2 separate wikipedia pages but I'm having trouble fixing them.
 * Bitclout is built on top of DeSo, and DeSo is a layer-1 blockchain designed for decentralized social media apps like Bitclout. 2601:285:200:A15:4831:6E0:A8FE:F234 (talk) 16:21, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Remove the whitepaper Link
The whitepaper link (https://www.bitcloutwhitepaper.com/) now leads to an article in Indonesian talking about gambling and previously talked about slot machines in Thailand. I don't there is any reason to include anything but a link to the archived pdf of the white paper. - Ztormtrooper (talk) 17:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I got rid of the link after no response for a week. Ztormtrooper (talk) 21:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
