Hello GumbyBuds, it surely does not (although it is preferred cause it provides us some certainty that we know that we can cover the costs). You can limit your pledge and adjust it flexibly in your Patreon account on month to month basis or just anytime you want.
I believe that we have a BTC address for people who want to donate anonymously and you can just do it whenever you want. Just send an amount and let the big man know about it. Thanks.
As iāve been overwhelmed with positive responses to my content here, I will be supporting the site as well. Gotta put some money in the bank first, I usually keep it all as cash lol.
here is the response i received from patreon. i provided the confirmation number for the initial transaction and asked them to track it down and ensure it goes to the proper creator. january should be without issue. thanks joe and team OG
The lack of static and negativity makes it worth my buck.
I cancelled a subscription to easyriders that just wasnāt interesting anymore and since I cancelled my satellite dish (due to the fact that modern tv just SUCKS) I figured this is a therapeutic investment.
I do miss Doctor Who though.
patreon sent an e-mail saying they are now charging the patron 2.9% plus $0.35 on top of the 5% plus transaction fees charged to the creator. so i pay $13.25 and you get maybe $8?
i canceled my pledge and i will donate directly with bitcoin or i will send it directly by paypal on the first of the month if thatās ok @LemonadeJoe
Iāve got that e-mail too and I like that new system is more transparent.
I donāt think you are calculating it correctly. We will get exactly 95% of every pledgeā¦ For example ā¦weāll get $9.5 with your $10 pledge. That pledge has some transaction costs, you will be charged $10.64 (2.9% + fixed fee $0.35).
So it is actually more predictable than in past. Iād happily pay 5% for aggregating and easy management of small donations. For example we can issue one invoice to our Tax Office per month instead of many bills for each small donation. We can also synchronize our supporters through programmable interface. It has great features that make my life as admin easier.
Sorry we donāt have paypal, but if you can use bitcoin then absolutely do it! You are welcome.
But Patreon is prefered, cause we can have steady support throughout the year.
Hi joe I too already give a small amount monthly on Patreon , not noticed any reward thoughā¦ lol.
Come on everyone- a dollar a month plus 20cents tax is nothing, hopefully more will offer a $1 per month. Happy growing
