Sketchy as fuck

First thing First, I can't access the site and I believe many other members also will face the same problem of not being able to access the site because I can see that huge black also mentioned same eccessebility problem,  secondly you stated that this is an anonymous chat  for all bitcoin Dev, why then the website domain carry the name bitcointalk, this could be misleading for other none forum users who come across this bitcoin chat group and I Dev that want to discuss over there.
I think the best thing that can serve better is for forum Dev team to implement a chat feature for bitcointalk just like it is in other forums, at least aside from posting comments on threads, chat box can serve as a quick meet for any information about the forum or any technical discussion and information passage, this is highly recommended at this point instead us visiting an external link that have loads of accessibility probles such as this one, any ways this is a good development if it can be freely accessible to all just like most bitcoin discussions forum's and the only advantage I see with this service is that, having such chat site will accommodate both bitcointalk membes and none forum members, but having bitcointalk as the doman name is a no go for me make it sound as being sololy for forum members alone.

I don't know what this is and why would bitcointak members use it, but website is not working for me.
Note that most domains that had bitcointalk in their name were usually used for some kind of phishing attacks and stealing members login information.

502 Bad Gateway you may need to fix it

Most forums nowadays have a chatbox right on the top of the homepage - and I mean only on the homepage. That is a good implementation since it is using your forum account and so it doesn't require you to authenticate anywhere and it also eliminates impersonation.

Personally I do not use any sort of chatbox, and I don't think the admins are likely to add one any time soon - I like my pages not using so much resources.

Oh, how hard it is for me to read this, it looks like a wall of text. It seems to me that it would be even more complicated if a larger number of users decided to use this chat
It's not a bad idea, but I don't know how sustainable it is. There is already a Bitocintalk channel on Discord, but I haven't seen any significant activity there.

I quickly went through the content of the #Dev tab and it appears that those data are being fetched from different boards/sub-boards, as opposed to being real content in the platform in question... You might want to get rid of those and while you're at it, perhaps you should consider increasing the line spacing to make those texts more readable ^{[a light mode would also come in handy]}.

You have a point, but you can use bitbollo's recommendation in manually approving users on your platform ^{[it only takes a minute to cross-check everything]}.

This belongs in Project Development, requested mods to move it there.

You’re absolutely right, and this is indeed the wrong section. Unfortunately, no measure can completely prevent deceivers from scamming people.

nice idea, however this seems to be a wrong forum section.
I think its important to have a WARNING message or something like this. People need to pay attention to impersonators/scammers.
if some one is willing to agree on a trade in this chat, a SIGNED MESSAGE from a staked address from the forum is A MUST!

Initially developed for ckpool mining pool, this anonymous chat platform is now live for everyone. Engage in bitcoin-related discussions on technical issues, mining, and development.
