Forgive me, if I misunderstand your question, but put simply, a site like this would either have to use a third party payment processor, like PayPal, CCBill, or any of the others, or they'd have to create their own crypto currency and run not only the site, but the financial servers. This could get messy unless they're really really good. In the end the startup cost for something like this would be really high, and likely would never happen unless it was done by someone with a lot of money or a cryptocurrency that already existed opening a site surgically for adult content creators.
A funding site for porn, payed with crypto-currencies... I'm not enough a fan of NTR to be the one fucked by bad guys all day long, will security agencies from all around the world look at us with delight.
I see and understand your apprehension, but a crypro patreon would still be able to moderate itself legally. If the site required personal information of all content providers, so that they could then send the information to authorities if anyone used the platform to promote something nasty, like kiddie porn. The ones that we would protect with crypto would be the consumers. It would give them a way to pay for our service without having "Brother and dog spit roast unwilling sister part 3" on their credit card statement. That's part of what made paypal so successful. A person could have a secret paypal that they loaded with cash or whatever, then use it to purchase their smut. It was reliable, didn't give your credit card information, and gave you a way to hide it from your significant other.
I just did the same, deleted all the pledges and explained the creators and through the survey why. It's the only way, like we did when they tried to force the new charges.
Reading it. it appears they've reached their goals. So, that said, my question is how successful they'll be.
Well, my game has about 2 months of art to do still. If they're up I'll consider them.
Yeah, if your Patrons only pledge a dollar that's only 25 cents coming to you. Fuck that.Isn't 10% a little bit too much?
So look at Sponsorion which launches this spring and guarantees the same rates as patreon
As a consumer, sure, however as a Dev I'm already preferring the one that works for me, and not the one that works best for you. It's basic business sense. To be completely honest, its nice that they have provided a platform, but this is my hard work. To put it in further perspective, I'm not even working alone. So in reality, on 1 dollar donations I make $0.125 on a 2 dollar donation I make $0.575 on a 3 dollar donation I make $1.025. There's no incentive for the creator to create at such low profit margins. It isn't a matter of whether they will be a better quality service, it's a matter of being able to turn a profit from this. They are profiting from my work with those fees. Because the consumer isn't paying for the platform, they're paying for the project.
What really bugs me is the extra 65 cents. The 10% is what you lose from Patreon, but 5 of that is patreon and the other 5 is payment processing, so where is the 65 going? Or is he taking all of the 10 and the 65 is for payment processing every time? See, with the way Patreon does it, the larger donations subsidise the smaller ones allowing patreon to mitigate the transaction fee. That is what Sponserion is planning as well.
Yes yes, it's is and you have to ask What are you as a Creator getting for that 10% other than a page on their site?Isn't 10% a little bit too much?
