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.

Reddit had r4r communities, are we calling our communities L4Ls?

Didn't see a better place to ask this question.

I'll donate in the morning!

[–] cd_kk@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Just saw we're down, donated on Throne to get us back in the green!

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 6 months ago

Thank you! 🙏

[–] JustS0m3Dud3@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I donated a couple euros now.

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

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 3 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.

Just subbed on Patreon! Question, are you holding off on upgrading the instance because of the issues with the search?

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

Thank you! I was waiting for captcha. But I'll upgrade today.

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.

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

Would it be possible to set up Liberapay as a payment method? I don't know their policy on NSFW-related projects, but I really enjoy it as a payment option since they don't take anything off what's donated, give many different donation options, and is run by a non-profit that made the site's code open-source.

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 9 months ago (5 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.

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.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We had local settings to auto expand, disable blur etc. but these settings has gone with the new update. I'm adding right now.

I'm not related to Wefwef or other apps, but you can try others like Mlem or Memmy.

[–] baconboy@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fully aware it’s unaffiliated, just that local settings was bad concept.

[–] yay@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago

Yep. It's a cheap patch more than a feature. We have to modify lemmy, lemmy-ui, lemmy-js-client to achieve this feature to be able synchronise to server. @trusted_pizza@lemmynsfw.com made a pull request for this, but its still blocked.

[–] 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.

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

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