    Standardized Chapter Naming

    Suffice to say that the current rules regarding chapter numbering is the best we can do, given all the edge cases that has to be taken into account... The most annoying thing is resetting chapter numbers for volumes!

    MangaDex Two Year Anniversary

    Taxes are only an issue if you obtain crypto and then convert it back into fiat, if the crypto has gained value. (only applicable in countries with capital gains tax) If you acquire crypto and send it off to someone else, you don't incur and tax liabilities.

    Would this be a better way of showing statistics?

    There is never a "correct" way of giving ratings - your idea would place a greater burden on the server when calculating stats. The question is whether the extra load is worth the better accuracy (or perceived accuracy)

    @cervidae Even if we went down that route, and it would appear we don't have to, infosec would be top priority. We would only receive crypto from ad networks, which are anonymous.

    MangaDex Two Year Anniversary

    If we went down the server route, we're only talking about image servers, not the database. But as it stands, we will be trying the crypto route first.

    MangaDex Two Year Anniversary

    Having run the poll for a few days now, it's reassuring to see that the majority do not mind the ads route. That said, it must be emphasised that ads will always remain a last resort, and we will try everything else first. If the number of people who voted crypto are able to make regular...

    @inverness I don't know if it's possible where you are, but these days, there are bitcoin cash machines, where you literally stuff cash in and the machine gives your mobile app wallet bitcoin. Convenient and fast and don't have to trust your crypto or cash stuck with a third party provider...

    MangaDex Two Year Anniversary

    We have already have had offers from an ad network who do "normal" banner ads, and of course under no circumstances would we go with anything annoying, like porn/sex ads, pop ups, video ads, etc etc. Anyway, we still have lots of months before our contingency fund dries up, so there is some...

    Mobile phone lost, a new opportunity

    Happy Holidays: Server Upgrades and Rule Updates

    Even if, say, we introduced a user setting that allowed users to view controversial credit pages, similar to how we deal with moderated comments, how would comment moderation work? Allowing people to comment on the controversial credit page, while on topic, would defeat the goal here, which is...

    Happy Holidays: Server Upgrades and Rule Updates

    @flavorful If someone can make a convincing argument as to why a scanlator has a predetermined right to insert any page they want, regardless of content, into a chapter, that's completely unrelated, then I'm all ears. Until now, all arguments have been unconvincing: 1. Policing scanlation -...
