#crowdbucks — Public Fediverse posts

Dein Projekt im Fediverse finanzieren – aber wie?

Patreon & Co. sind zentralisiert und teuer. #Crowdbucks ist die dezentrale Alternative: Spenden, Abos & Belohnungen direkt über Mastodon & Co. – ohne Plattform-Risiko!

Perfekt für:
- Organisationen mit eigener Mastodon-Instanz
- Creator:innen, die unabhängig bleiben wollen
- Non-Profits, die transparente Spenden brauchen

@collectifission

We (the CrowdBucks team) are working on adding Euro (€) support right now.

Accepting Euro is relatively easy. But, there is some work to add Euro support to the user-experience.

⁂

(We will also look into adding language support beyond English after that.)

@reiver's new way to fund instances and stuff on the Fediverse!

CrowdBucks Demo (FediCon 2025)

I am working on editing @reiver 's FediCon 2025 demo right now.

(Is it weird that I am talking about myself in the 3rd-person?)

Once it is edited, I will upload it to the FediCon PeerTube account:

My #FediForumFriday for today is — the CrowdBucks source-code is here:

https://codeberg.org/crowdbucks

It is MVP right now.
So A LOT more work needs to be done, but — it works.

This is a big part of why if, for example, you pay or donate, etc $200 to someone, they get less-than that $200 — the credit card and Stripe fees.

#CrowdBucks #Fediverse #FediverseFunding

3/

Stripe, of course, adds their own fees on top of the credit card system fees.

So, with Stripe, the fees end up looking something like:

U.S.: 2.9% + USD $0.30

Canada: 2.9% + CAD $0.30

EU: ~1.5% + €0.20

Etc.

...

There is also an extra 1% fee for "international" cards.

And, an extra 1% fee for currency conversations.

Etc.

...

All platforms and systems that use Stripe are affected by this — including CrowdBucks.

#CrowdBucks #Fediverse #FediverseFunding

2/

Most people probably don't know this, but —

If, for example, you pay someone $200 using a credit card, the person you paid does NOT get $200. They get less-than that!

For example, there might be a 3% fee due to paying with a credit card.

And, the person you pay ends up getting only $194 (rather than $200). ($6 was taken in fees.)

(This is why some merchants will give you a discount if you pay by cash — since with cash that fee isn't there.)

CrowdBucks is a open-source, Fediverse-native way to FUND THE FEDIVERSE:

• to help sysops pay server bills,

• to support developers creating Fedi software, and

• to fund creators on the Fediverse.

...

The MVP of CrowdBucks uses Stripe as its credit card payment processor.

One of the challenges with credit cards and payment processors is the fees.

Here is what I mean …

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114756258179005153

#CrowdBucks #Fediverse #FediverseFunding

Back in the year 2022 — myself, @atomicpoet , and @massoud were talking about how to FUND THE FEDIVERSE.

• to help sysops pay server bills,

• to support developers creating Fedi software, and

• to fund creators on the Fediverse,

...

This same topic came up in this year's FediForum 2025!

...

Given the importance of funding the Fediverse and the recent discussion — soon it will be released as open-source software.
