 No Cloudflare. No DDoS.

It’s live!  Our new website is a solution to Cloudflare.  Let’s break it down:

Problem:
Cloudflare breaks SSL encryption and acts as a man-in-the-middle to see all passwords.  And by seeing the bulk of all traffic, they are able to do mass surveillance.

Issue:
When you bring up getting off Cloudflare with website creators, they say “But what about DDoS?”.  And then you’re just directing them to less centralized alternatives, which could become the “next CF” if they got popular.

Solution:
Arweave is on-chain data storage functioning similar to Bitcoin Ordinals (but it scales).  There's a brand-new testnet of global gateways for Arweave, to serve this content: For example I’m “Privacy”

So you just put the name “Privacy” then a dot, in front of the Gateways.
