lori

i give eggbug a shiny gold coin

artists win. creators win. love wins. fuck yeah thank you cohost

have you considered doing something like itch.io, where users can set a custom amount/percentage of revenue that will go to the platform? $1 and 5% sound like small numbers to me, i feel like if you'd allow users to set it higher if they wanted to, a lot of them would.

PLEASE call it eggbux

Rumor has it the eggbux can also be worn as a hat

I'm curious how PayPal (and IIRC Stripe too) being hostile to adult content might throw a wrench into plans? IIRC Pillowfort had to move payment processors for that exact reason and it definitely messed with their plans for sustainability.

I'm pretty interested in the tipping/subbing system; kinda curious if it'll be easier to continue tosend support to folks that I already help through here, and support my local ovo-insectoid, too!

very dire prospects!
on top of just casually losing financial data to the void!
ha well, thank you for making cohost. it is good that the website is like this.

Really looking forward to the tipping system, have been using Patreon to help indie creators but am definitely interested in the Eggbux system.

wooo i hope this means cohost gets a million eggbux and gets to live forever

i really wanna see this place succeed so i went ahead and added 3 more plus subs to my acc. thanks for making cohost

Excited for the future, even if I'll have to wait a bit longer as an Aussie to take advantage of tipping.

Really hopeful for the platform going forwards! 💕

annoying tip qs:

1. Can tip givers keep their identity anonymous from recipients?
2. Do you know if the payment processor will have a hold/delay period for withdrawing tips?

would you consider allowing ppl to sell something for a one-off fee (like, idk. albums, just a very random example). gumroad kinda thing basically? or is that included in tipping?

hell yea hell yea hell fuckin' yea!

So wait, no paypal launch for even US tips?!?

Like… uh, do you really expect us to give you credit card information for payment processing instead via tips? Kofi allows paypal. Seems silly to not have that be a standard for security. Subscriptions/tipping in general seems like an odd thing for the site to do when you could just toss a kofi link then and there so idk, I guess I’ll have to see what the benefits are vs kofi, especially if there’s no paypal support right away

what percentage of payment processing fees do you anticipate will be covered by tippers? do you expect revenue from tipping to exceed processing expenses?

Thank you for making cohost :3 I've been looking forward to eggbux for over a year and I can wait a little longer so that it can be as good and crunch free as possible ^.^

I vote eggbux as the official branding !

Oh I hope so much that cohost overtakes patreon, if not in general at least for the folks already on this site. The recent(ish) changes that patreon did continue to rub me the wrong way, but it seems like there isn't a particularly good equivalent out there yet.

1. will there be the ability to disable the ability for people to send me tips? (i receive social security and any non-earned income i receive is then taken out of my social security payment.)
2. please do call it eggbux

When it comes to subscriptions, I know a lot of peeps who use Patreon subs or Twitch subs as a Discord access toll. Are there plans for some kind of API we can have a bot plug into to pull subscriber info? Though for that to work users would need to be able to link their cohost and discord accounts and that's even more additional work on y'all's part.

Thank you for all the work you do <3 All of you <3 Developing, and improving, and maintaining this wonderful site. It's felt like a new home for me and for that I'm forever grateful =u= I may not often have cash but if I ever have a few extra bucks laying around y'all are where I'd like to send them. Take care, and good luck going forward ^u^

It’d be so exciting if Cohost ends up becoming a viable Patreon competitor. The standards and principles this site tries to live up to are so much better than what you get from profit-motivated sites

Too late, it's eggbux now.
I owe you 5🥚s

woah i'm so excited for lunch

Tipping is a ko-fi-like system where users can send each other money.

Will the tipper and tippee see each other's first and last name like they would on Ko-Fi?

Subscriptions is a patreon-like system where users can accept money monthly.

Considering the way other platforms (tumblr, itch.io, etc.) have cracked down on NSFW content (for reasons that may or may not come down to "most popular payment processors do not want pornography"), it needs to be said how y'all are gonna handle this considering, uh, gestures to the worlds of horny shit.
