Well I’m the N-user who needs the education, but was able to understand more than half of this conversation. I liked that he found your hardball questions fair. I liked that he is compelling users who have their own independent audit orgs or understand code to check out his work. That invitation alone feels like a huge win.

What is their service "Shadow" mentioned which allows a traditional website to be replicated across to Arweave and how does it work exactly?

They only take payment in XMR, right?

Just XMR and lightning network Bitcoin.

I haven't played around with it but it seems to be a relatively basic site builder.

It seems like their own site was built using it.

Ok, found the service:

https://simplifiedprivacy.com/arweb/arweave-web-designer-faq.html

"ArWeb uses the Hugo framework to create static websites on your local computer. Then it creates a hash of every file in your website directory, and compares which hashes are changed from the last time you uploaded. Finally, it uploads to Arweave the new/changed files."

I could probably get this to work somehow but not sure someone who is not technical will even know where to start...

Obviously hosting a Ghost (or any CMS-based) site on Arweave through this setup is not possible.
