Everipedia is now IQ.wiki

Unread post by Funcrunch » Sat Oct 15, 2022 3:08 am

Visiting everipedia.org, one now sees a search box for Everipedia archives and a message that "Everipedia is now IQ.wiki". IQ.wiki ("Beta") bills itself as "The World's Largest Blockchain & Crypto Encyclopedia".

(Surprised I'm apparently the first one to post this here as I don't usually keep up with these things; just read about it on Facebook.)

ETA: I meant to post this in the sub-forum for Non-Wikimedia Wiki Sites; maybe an admin can move it?

IQ wiki is a great name. Now they just need to start publishing articles by Charles Murray and Emil Kierkegaard. That’ll really show Wikipedia who’s boss.

To clarify, if I'm understanding this correctly, Everipedia's attempt to be an actual rival to Wikipedia is no more. The IQ.wiki site that replaced it is solely an encyclopedia about crypto.

It does appear that some of the old pages are still available.

Yes, Everipedia is archived but no longer being updated, as I understand it.

There's a lot of references to "everipedia-storage" in lumensdatabase, is that related to Everipedia?

Their token changed names to "IQ.cash" and keeps hitting new lows

why a small wiki farm needs a token? I have no idea

"Cryptocurrency" fans remind me of other types of technophiles, such as Linux enthusiasts

the users need to constantly talk about their platforms rather than just use them
