Does Limewire still exist? I'm too afraid to check, probably get a virus from just googling it.

It's now the name of a crypto token. Why? I have no idea.

I was thrilled that I cringed my kids by coming up with "rizzmas" and then saddened to find that it, too, is crypto.

The damn coins steal all the names and therefore domains. Your username? Probably a cryptocoin name by now

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I couldn't find a coin gor lemmyman, but the ticker for "lemon nation" is "LEMMY".

I think I need to start my own crypto lol

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lol have to be careful when I say to someone I use lemmy now to not lead them to a cryptocoin.

And start soon, all the names are almost taken! :D

You are now the name of a crypto token.

Yay can we move a rug very suddenly now, perhaps with people standing on it?

Soulseek is still around. Nicotine+ is a great client for it. It’s perfect for music and ebooks.

They put a backdoor in the software to disable it, but the underlying P2P network (gnutella) should technically still work. But you shouldn't even try, there's much more active alternatives.

there’s much more active alternatives.

Such as?

I was surprised 5 months ago that Limewire has morphed into doing short-term, web-based, file-hosting under the name filetransfer.io

I needed to share a video, larger than attachment size. Searched for 'fileshare online'.

The video successfully hosted for free, and was viewed.

No report on how many viruses the viewer picked up /s.

Snapdrop was sold to Limewire recently
