Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?
- Discoverability?
- Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I’m ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
- Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
- Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)
You don’t need to use an exchange to get paid in crypto or use a crypto with a pubic ledger
Monero is far more private than letting a credit card processor have your information. Ethereum doesn’t use mining anymore so the electricity used for it is less than paying with credit card. It also takes a few seconds to process.

Ethereum is not an organization, you don’t need to use NFTs or smart contracts if you don’t want to

@ttmrichter @iopq seems I remember them as well as a ‘money exchange’ never used them but the name rings a bell from a few years ago then I may be wrong?

I just looked up Monerun
Monero is not doing “printing currency”. Some exchanges that promise to pay you monero may not hold it. That’s the same what your bank does. The bank seldom has enough dollar bills to pay all of its depositors money.
But again, this is between an exchange and its customers. You can gasp use another exchange and withdraw your money immediately after using it

That’s not how that works, you prove your claim that monero has coins created in excess of what the protocol allowed. You can’t just make shit up and expect me to debunk it

This is actually not true, because if you received a transaction that is “printed” money due to some bug, it would be provable. This has not happened
