We are currently the 2nd largest instance in terms of monthly active users. This brings a financial burden and we would appreciate your help about it.

Note: I only pin this post when we drop below $200. I know it's annoying when the donation post is always at the top.

If you want to donate, here's donation platforms we use:

  • Throne.com: No registration needed, fiat only.
  • Ethereum: 0x4e4af5dc2f86235ac496542c2a1c00f3c4de40c6
  • Monero:
    • public wallet key to send funds: 48VYVWPKk65KiDiBaLhvSggKSbDQ4vtdq6HHbDa2HxWLiBWVcZ65gTgMBu7UeSUcm4dasAMMaKHnJNJSgRKi7Q5R5HN9adg
    • view key to check transactions/balance: d9452aedea9ec6b61d49ec38a82777eb8a8bccf63172c8c7b5cdc3c60b8a9200
  • Trocador.app (multiple cryptocurrencies)

A little note about about this financial status report
  • Throne
    • it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
  • Cryptocurrencies
    • I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
    • It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
    • No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.

What would be good options for me if I just want to use my credit card to quickly buy whatever crypto and send it to any address I want? I did look at some sites a couple of days ago, but they were more for trading and didn't seem too great for this use case.

I never got into crypto even though I'm a huge nerd, so I have no idea which service is trustworthy and quick'n'easy to use.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I registered to throne.com, which allows direct anonymous credit card donations. If they accept us, then you can use it if you want.

Just don’t jump into a topic you don’t know if you don’t want to learn buddy. I’ll fix this.

And to be honest, I’m not a crypto expert either. I just know basics and some technical details that I’m using on IRL work.

[–] demonologic@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ah let's see where that throne.com deal goes then, that'd be neat.

But I honestly don't mind the learnin', I was more just soliciting for good tips for this specific use case since I figured somebody's bound to be more clued in already 😁

I know surprising amounts about the technical side of lots of cryptocurrency projects because in another life I've worked on sort-of-related things, but like the idiot I am I never bought all that many of anything and haven't "handled" them in ages.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you really want, I can recommend MetaMask. Which is an easy, well known, trusted and local-only app. I’m using it to manage current crypto donations.

There’s also “Trust” app that supports multiple currencies but it is more complicated to me than MetaMask.

Both of these apps allows in-app crypto buy/sell.

You should’ve probably heard about Binance, Coinbase etc. that are centralized exchanges. But I don’t trust them and I think they’re against morale of crypto.

[–] demonologic@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Oh Metamask does in-app onramps and offramps nowadays? Well that's pretty handy, it was still a pretty dumb no-frills "wallet" when I last used it but it's been a good while. I'll give it a poke! Thank you

With GitHub sponsorship no longer an option are there any simple payment options available?Happy to support (was supporting at $10 a month) but would rather not learn crypto to do it

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Hi. We've kicked out :) I’ll share a post about it soon.

I would gladly send Monero [XMR] if you had the option.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hmm. Let me check MetaMask for it.

Nope, MetaMask only supports Ethereum or derivates. I've used MyMonero for it.

Guys, unrelated with the donations and budget health, it would be interesting to have a open thread for discussion on this community. I was about to post about a recent purge of nsfw subreddit s and could not find where to do it.

Do you accept ETH on L2s? What about stablecoins?

How would I donate via Ethereum or Monero? I've avoided all crypto.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

It's about your platform. For instance I'm using Binance, so I click Receive, choose type of coin, enter address, choose network (for me always default one), send.

[–] m0n4p@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sent some coins, thank you!
