Disabling the "Syndicated or Non-OC" tag Ok, so we have released the copyright protection system about a month ago, because read.cash was spammed with articles copied from Bitcoin.com, Investopedia, etc... https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/copy-paste-protection-c4bd5de3 However, a lot of users wanted to reprint their own content.

Some plans for communities I think it's about time to share some plans for our near future. As you know, some time ago we've launched the point system on read.cash along with the read.cash fund.
