Cats Up North is the comment section for the entire internet. With our extension, every URL has a comment section where you can discuss the content and support your favorite creators with superchats. A superchat sends Bitcoin to the creator and separates your chat out from the rest. Who knows, the creator may even comment on your superchat live!
Simply pull up the side bar with our extension on the current URL you are on and create a thread or join an existing one to voice your opinion. There is no censorship, and you have the choice to be completely anonymous. And we mean it: we don't store user data and you never have to enter it! So feel free to rate a product you like, fact check a journalist, or chat it up with gamers on a stream. Enjoy chats without being tracked, and support your favorite creators knowing they will receive most of it unlike Twitch, YouTube, Patreon, and others that take up to half their income. This platform encourages liking and disliking comments and rating the webpage itself because we cannot, nor anyone else, track your opinions.
Create a thread for your cat blog, gaming stream, news article, or any of your creative endeavors and allow people to discuss your content and support you. Don't let big tech take half your earnings! You only cover the cost of the Bitcoin transaction fee + 5% of the superchat.
More communication is better than less. Let's give the internet back to the people. Websites, the media, politicians, companies, and others with platforms have lots of power to advance their viewpoints. Let's let the people discuss right there in front of the public, without ever leaving the page. Plus, creators shouldn't have to pay a huge tax to the platforms that host your content. YOU are the creator, they (and Cats Up North) are just server nerds.
Check out the Download tab to download the extension. Pin the extension to your browser and click it to open the side-bar. The middle tab of the extension allows you to purchase an invoice through Bitcoin. There is a tiny fractional cost to send a chat. This is to reduce the amount of bots, reduce malicious attacks on our systems, and to help make chats slightly more meaningful. $2 is over 1,500 chats! Add in more to support your favorite creators. Then, start browsing the web and creating threads or commenting on others. Everyone will be able to easily request their funds back at anytime to their Bitcoin wallet of choice so you don't have to worry if you don't end up using it all.
You might notice something odd when you send your first chat. You may see that your name is "Margret Thatcher" or "Bugs Bunny". Because everyone on this platform is entirely anonymous, we automatically assign users a randomly generated name every 100 chats. This helps us get to know each other a little better instead of just being a number! Users can also choose a preferred name. Many users can have the same preferred name. Users who chose to purchase a verified name will have that on their particular invoice for life, no one else can use it! These are identified by the "$" symbol at the start of usernames. This helps to ensure you are supporting the creator you choose.
Currently, it is 2 satoshi (~$0.00115 at time of writing) to send a chat. You purchase 100 chats at a time. When you send your 100th chat, a new 100 chats will be redeemed for you at the cost of 2 satoshi per chat. When requesting a withdrawal to your bitcoin wallet, you will incur the BTC blockchain fee to transfer those funds plus 5% fee from your superchat transactions received (we need to buy our children shoes and build our servers!). Verified users can purchase a name for approximately $5, or they can simply include their thread ID in their content and save money!
