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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Ah let's see where that throne.com deal goes then, that'd be neat.

But I honestly don't mind the learnin', I was more just soliciting for good tips for this specific use case since I figured somebody's bound to be more clued in already 😁

I know surprising amounts about the technical side of lots of cryptocurrency projects because in another life I've worked on sort-of-related things, but like the idiot I am I never bought all that many of anything and haven't "handled" them in ages.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

If you really want, I can recommend MetaMask. Which is an easy, well known, trusted and local-only app. I’m using it to manage current crypto donations.

There’s also “Trust” app that supports multiple currencies but it is more complicated to me than MetaMask.

Both of these apps allows in-app crypto buy/sell.

You should’ve probably heard about Binance, Coinbase etc. that are centralized exchanges. But I don’t trust them and I think they’re against morale of crypto.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Oh Metamask does in-app onramps and offramps nowadays? Well that's pretty handy, it was still a pretty dumb no-frills "wallet" when I last used it but it's been a good while. I'll give it a poke! Thank you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Used throne.com - hope it works :)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm trying auto recurrent donations but no luck yet :/ Still researching.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'll donate in the morning!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Do you accept ETH on L2s? What about stablecoins?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really don't know. I'm just using MetaMask for ETH. And not using stable coins because I don't know how to keep them locally, like MetaMask, MyMonero or XUMM. I really don't want to keep them on an exchange that has all my info.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure MetaMask supports USDC and USDT no? Stable coins can definitely be kept in a self-custody wallet like other ETH tokens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow looks like it really supports! So what should I share here for it? Is it same with ETH or what?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's about your platform. For instance I'm using Binance, so I click Receive, choose type of coin, enter address, choose network (for me always default one), send.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sent some coins, thank you!
