Crypto as an aternative to patreon

[anne O'nymous]

I doubt IRS agents spend 24/7, monitoring every single citizens living conditions.

Wait, does this mean that, when I said "soon or later", it wasn't just to increase the words count? It would be so marvelous, it would make me looks so smart...

But the issue isn't "it will happen", but "it can happen".
When he was busted, Westy was earning ~US$ 20,000/month with a game that was cheap as fuck; no efforts in the writing nor the renders, every assets were the cheapest he can found and used out of the box. And, like it was an incest game full of obviously underage loli, rule 1.7 banned here, it's precisely the kind of games that one would prefer to pledge for through crypto.
I don't doubt that he would earned less, but it wouldn't be 1/100th of what he was earning when arrested. And with only 25% of his earning it would still leave him with US$ 50K/year, what is enough to trigger ATO (Australian IRS equivalent) soon or later.

Must also be took into consideration the fact that not everyone live in a first world country. There's devs who only earn US$ 100/month with their game, and it's enough to make them earn more than the majority in their country.

If you create a crypto, it will automatically assumed to be a rug pull scam. Rightfully so, because there's absolutely no good reason to not just use the already established and trusted cryptocurrencies.

Let's engage in some constructive criticism, shall we? what do you exactly mean by rug pull scam?
I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say.

What you said about taxes matters I just read my countries laws where I just have to pay taxes only when I withdraw I can just write it off as a trading money. So I need good lawyers.

It's an interesting idea. I'm not getting into the legalities or taxes though, I'll just say it won't work. Nobody is going to have any interest in all in a crypto porn sharing sight...unless you mean to make it a full patreon type thing and be open to any form of art/donation. Maybe a bit of a better chance then, but even then I don't think the interest will be there. I just don't see crypto bros as the type of people to support things like this.

There's surely some, you can make a donation in crypto here.

It's more the site itself that would stop them. There's many people who don't follow their favorite game if he switch to SubscribeStar, because the site is more shady and it would be yet another site you've to subscribe too. So, a site that would only rely on crypto, and therefore looks shady by definition, in top of hosting mostly borderline games, is it really appealing?

I mean, banks have a lot of procedures if someone mess with your account. It would be fuckingly annoying if it happen, but you know that the bank will help you, and that you have Law on your side, because you're officially and legally the owner of this account. You signed papers for this.
But there's nothing like this for your crypto wallet. Every years there's thousands peoples who loose theirs, and who can't do much to recover it, or recover the sums in it, because it's just a virtual account.
With a regular bank account, you can also complain if you payed but got nothing. There's refund procedure and, once again, you've Law on your side. Again something that isn't guaranty when it come to crypto.
So, a funding platform relying only on crypto would have to looks clean enough to reassure users that it's not a scam.

There's always some. But some does not a successful business make.

This is the real rub. Making this trustworthy enough to even get out of the gates is a nonstarter imo.

I don't know, there is a suspicious amount of furries in IT.
