We are currently the 3rd largest Lemmy instance in terms of monthly active users. This brings a financial burden and we would appreciate your help about it.

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:

@lemmyposter212 does heavy lifting by moderating the instance. Therefore, if you want to donate to them individually, you can use the ETH address below.

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

I still don't understand crypto, but Throne appears to have worked fine. I look forward to an option with reoccurring automatic payments.

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

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Used throne.com - hope it works :)

Would it be possible to set up Liberapay as a payment method? I don't know their policy on NSFW-related projects, but I really enjoy it as a payment option since they don't take anything off what's donated, give many different donation options, and is run by a non-profit that made the site's code open-source.

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 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.
