I'm not sure 4 could ever be workable, unless the funding, buying and donations can be done on a legal currency that doesn't track payer identity, operator identity or operator information. Like, you know, cash. Because I'm certainly not going to associate my random internet accounts with my IRL banking info. That would literally give banks the ability to censor the Fediverse.
Does not have to be like that. Crypto can be used on the one hand and for creadit cards it would be an alternative to liberapay or ko-fi.
You mean those scam pseudo-coins where I can pay $10 today and it's worth $0.00093 for the receptor of the payment when they want to use it to eat tomorrow? Sure! That'll absolutely work!
Wow, that's quite an elaborate opinion you've shat out of yourself!
Hey, I'd be happy to be proven wrong with a crypto that actually works and isn't just an excuse to return to the coal economy. Since if it works, it'll be able to do the thing I was asking about in the first place.
If that's so I'd recommend looking into particl.io. they actually have a mission to provide a secure, decentralized and anonymous market and trade ecosystem.
