Please provide links showing where exactly on https://papyrusnft.io/ it says anything at all about "enabling non-Ethereum chains" or "the environmental concerns".

I clicked on every link to see if there was anything about what you claim, and I can find absolutely no useful information about anything at all on that site, and certainly not the words you quoted.

I performed google searches for "site:papyrusnft.io ethereum" and "site:papyrusnft.io environmental" and that also turned up absolutely nothing (although the site is indexed by google).

I even used the tab key to enumerate through every link on the web site to make sure I was not missing any due to the manifestly horrendous web page design.

The ridiculous clip-art icons over the bullshitty captions "What you feel", "Your decision", "Words for posterity", "Future projections" aren't even links, they're just decorations, like lipstick on a pig.

And the only actual link with any more information that I found was to their twitter feed, which was mostly in Japanese, but made some typically scammy claims in English like:

https://twitter.com/PapyrusNFT

>You can also use Papyrus to make your words NFTs, and then sell those NFTs on Opensea.

>"I can't make art" "I'm not interested in art" so "I can't be an NFT creator.", Is that true? Why not write your thoughts on a blockchain and make it an NFT?

>NFT can make any digital data unique, and NFT art is only a small part of it.

Can anybody please explain exactly how NFT can make any digital data unique? What does that even mean?

There's also a link to some shady little Japanese "Lifestyle Change" / "Blockchain Technology" / "Creative Solution" / "System Development" / "Ethereum staking agency business" company called Moblo. Who are they, anyway, and what is their actual focus, credentials, reputation, and qualification to be in this business?

https://moblo.jp/company/

Those silly tweets, plus that shallow landing page of glossy hype devoid of meaningful content, not to mention that bizarrely unfocused and unqualified "Lifestyle Changing" Japanese company, all make it pretty obvious this is a scam that is targeting gullible suckers, and they have no idea what they're talking about.

Your unsubstantiated claim that PapyrusNFT is making an also unsubstantiated claim that "they're enabling non-Ethereum chains which will address the environmental concerns" sounds about as believable as Trump's repeatedly broken promises to roll out his wonderful health care plan any day now, which he never did.

So I'm simply asking you to prove what you claimed, and if you can't, then explain why you claimed it.

Why are you making false excuses for these scammers by quoting words that aren't even on the web page, if you're not an NFT guy? What kind of guy are you then?

Look on the bottom right of that webpage:

> Scheduled to launch Q1 2022: "You can choose a chain from multiple chains to write to"

I ain't reading the rest of your comment.

That's certainly not what you claimed it said! You said, and I quote:

>"they're enabling non-Ethereum chains which will address the environmental concerns"

That's quite a leap from "You can choose a chain from multiple chains to write to" to "they're enabling non-Ethereum chains which will address the environmental concerns".

Name which chains they are they enabling, and tell us exactly how each of those chains "address the environmental concerns", and how long we have to wait until they do that, and also explain how you know that even though it doesn't say it on the web site.

I asked for specifics, not handwaving and optimistic guesses and links to totally unrelated web sites.

Are you affiliated with that https://papyrusnft.io/ web site you're shilling, or the Japanese company "Moblo", and is that how you get your insider information that they don't publicly reveal on their web site, or did you just make up the convenient details about "environmental concerns", and also fabricate the connection between papyrus.so and papyrusnft.io?

Either way, you're shilling if you're making up stories or refusing to reveal your affiliation.

So please explain the relationship between https://papyrusnft.io/ , which you were the first person in this discussion to shill, and https://papyrus.so/ , which is what this discussion is actually about.

There are no links or references from papyrus.so to papyrusnft.io, or the other way, so how do you know that they even have anything to do with each other? Why are you saying they're related and doing business together?

Did you really expect people not to check your claims?

And honestly, after reading the web page you linked to, and their tweets, how can you actually believe they're not scammers? Are you really that gullible?

I think you need to replace your bullshit detector if you can't see something as obvious as that, and if you think it's a good idea to shill https://papyrusnft.io/ by making up stories about how they're addressing the environmental issues that they don't even claim themselves.

Ethereum is the only major smart contract chain that uses proof of work. Any other chain would use proof of stake, which doesn't have the environmental concerns you laid out. If you're passionate enough to take the time to write giant posts on this topic maybe take the time to learn something about it.

I have no relation to either of those places and found that website via an internet search for the terms "papyrus NFT". Your tone is weird and erratic so this will be my last interaction with you on this thread.

It's completely understandable why you don't want to continue the conversation or admit to having read something that refutes your false claims, since you posted weird erratic misinformation in the first place, and don't want to answer any questions clarifying why or correct your mistakes. Please don't shill and make up apologetic lies and lame excuses for sketchy scammers in the future, and try not to fall for such blatantly deceptive scams again, or "hodl" your breath until those scammers whose water you're carrying actually "address the environmental concerns".

But who knows, maybe Trump will finally roll our his "incredible" health care plan and build his wall, once he gets reinstated as President in two weeks!
