ofc they (((PayPal))) and the rest hate anything that would help freeware spread. And crypto that was made to avoid centralized currency control, has failed. Never once seen crypto outside dark net shit used for a productive purpose.

Can't they go crypto?

 

[mNFwTJ3wz9]

Can't they go crypto?

they need to pay around 4-5k USD per month to various server providers and get money from around 1000 people.

Crypto is not feasible.

Why?

Why?

This means, as of now, we have lost all ability to receive payouts from our fundraising platforms, so are unable to continue paying the $6000 server bills. We've looked at other options like other crowdfunding platforms (the majority use Stripe/Paypal/Payoneer), accepting credit card donations directly (ideally need a legal entity in US/EU for VISA/MasterCard), crypto (not widespread enough/sustainable), registering as an LLC in US or EU (having to deal with sales tax/VAT/international tax law/IRS/etc), and ultimately we've come to the conclusion that there is no realistically viable alternative at the moment. Nor do we want to sell or transfer ownership of nopy just to have it plastered in ads, completely undermining the very reason why nopy was created in the first place.

@mNFwTJ3wz9 the way they blockaded pornhub should've woken up people to crypto

There are several clearnet digital services I use which accept payment in crypto.

Very few

Very few

I hypothesize that if one is using only the biggest most mainstreamest big tech garbage like Netflix and Steam, then ofc it's going to seem like very few deal with cryptocurrency. There was a time when Steam in fact did accept Bitcoin around 2013 but that was shut down pretty quickly as I imagine they were probably bullied out of it early on by regulatory interests.
