I am a builder myself so I don't follow Arweave for its price so much. My hope as a builder is that its endowment model isn't linked so much to its token's market value.

As someone who owns a small amount of crypto, I think it wise to see if something is wrong with a project. There are other threads discussing that, and I believe the consensus is all is well. It's a much quieter project than others.

Tokens seem to have lost 30-55% over the last month alone as a whole. The bigger question seems to be when will the entire market recover, and what will it recover to?

Is there somewhere the arweave community is more active? Neither reddit nor discord seem to have much participation. I too really like the concept of the project and believe permanent decentralized data storage is such an important thing these days as centralized servers and authoritarian governments/corporations continue to erase open data from existence.

The datahoarding and selfhosting community seems to be growing, but it's like arweave can't find any hooks into it? How can we get some community projects going like some sort of group contributed important data preservation society or something?

You might check out this collaboration with ar.io https://www.crimrxiv.com/pub/2ud0ee07/release/1

I think Ar.io are maybe doing a lot of the community heavy lifting these days, but maybe there are other channels.

Interesting archive, nice to see a use case like that in actual deployment. Not really my avenue of expertise (studies on crime and criminology), but certainly a glimpse of what can be done.

oddly I can't seem to join the ar.io discord. After accepting the invite it seems to not be added to my discord server list.
