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.

I donated a couple euros now.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 9 months ago

Appreciated 🙏

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

I suggest you to use XRP, TRX and LTC for cheap transaction fees and speed, and check out a VPS provider called IONOS.

Edit: I suggest you BTW to open an OnlyFans and Fansly account for the instance and try to carry creators to the platform maybe you can make a special community for them and get some extra donations.

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

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

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

Hmm. Let me check MetaMask for it.

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

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.

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 10 months ago (2 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months 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

[–] Ripplecheese2@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Used throne.com - hope it works :)

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

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

I'm trying auto recurrent donations but no luck yet :/ Still researching.

[–] m0n4p@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sent some coins, thank you!

Unfortunately, no. Currently there is only ETH, XMR and Trocador with about 70 currencies that will send the money to my unified single wallet.

This is because I added multiple cryptocurrencies before and it was a big mess. The money was split into smaller pieces across multiple currencies and wallets. As you can imagine, this is very difficult to manage.

BTW it looks like Trocador support Zcash.

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

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

Didn’t know GitHub sponsors was a thing.

Neat.

(Also: new sponsor).

If I can make one request (not that I feel you should be in any way honored to follow it up or prioritize it):

The local blur policy/implementation is horrible.

I want to just scroll through content. Everytime I log in I must update the settings.

http://wefwef.app doesn’t even give me an option to adjust it.

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

Liftoff! app (beta) is my favorite for one-handed scrolling, if you gnome say’n. Double tap to zoom full screen, double tap twice to zoom to full resolution.
