I hate to be this person, but LBRY people were not the friendliest to me when I was asking them a few questions. I believe their words were
"you really need to know some basic coding in order to use the beta, you should come back when its open to the public - I don't think this is for you"
and this was AFTER I had blasted a referral link to the masses on my twitter and gotten them at least 10 signups.
Safe to say I'm bitter
Hello this is probably due to the mass influx of newcomers to the slack and community. Note that this is still closed beta, which is meant for developers who can participate and contribute to the project, rather than babysitting and helping out with how to code.
There are questions that get asked so many times a day so i guess people are fed up with it(there are more than 5k users on Slack, one of the biggest of all Crypto).
You know what happened... some idiots from "thailand"!!! came to LBRY and stole a lot of the reward money by creating fake IDs and telling they were new etc
So now on the coin slack they are very strict and downright rude sometimes
But I understand... money kept for community help and development was stolen by few greedy scums from third world country
It was meant to go to testers and people who help, but thanks to some people spamming referal links it went to wrong hands.
