Sustainable Fediverse -- crypto-anarchist perspective please?
I am refreshing my knowledge about various ways to make (and keep) a fediverse instance financially stable. Several years ago I was experimenting with browser-based crypto mining, and it seems that the technology is alive and kicking, if infamous.
There are also more "legitimate" projects, like webmonetization.org -- this one assumes a mainstream level of regulation, from being formally submitted to W3C to relying explicitly on "legally regulated financial intermediaries". While I am no hypocrite (in this case) and I use payment cards myself, having only this option for me and my users makes me sad and unsatisfied.
Thus, my kind request: if you can point me to some interesting micropayment/microbarter solutions, aligned with anarchist thinking, please do. https://friendica.wprzemianie.pl/display/079ff3de-1260-409a-73ef-d1c880114120
For direct donations the only direct payment method is probably cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH, which come with their own issues such as volatility, poor user experience and huge transactional costs.
The first can be resolved by using a stablecoin such as DAI, the second still limits your donors to people who have MetaMask installed and are relatively fluent in the cryptocurrency concepts. The last one however is basically a show stopper for micropayments.
