Perhaps not as a regular income; but if funding for these projects is a limitation I bet crowdfunding would bring in funds to keep these posts coming :)

- bemmu 10y agoRandom site idea. Could there be a version of Patreon, where not the author themself but instead the fans start the pledges. The author could choose to take the money or not, and could prove their identity by putting their bitcoin address in a <meta> tag on their website. So we could create a project on the site say "support sound camera posts from ribbonfarm.com" and money would be gathered for it, then when a new qualifying post would be made the site owner would be contacted "hey, you have $500 waiting for you, put this meta tag in your <head> to accept it". This way modest authors wouldn't need to think "am I good enough for Patreon?" and people could support them. People could provide wallet addresses to which the money would be returned if not accepted.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoThis would almost certainly not work due to how easily most sites can be hacked by experienced and motivated hackers. That website would essentially just be a bounty list for hackers. The better option would be requiring an extra DNS entry meaning the hackers would be trying to hack into a registrar which is probably a fair bit harder on average.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoWhat happens when the author chooses not to take the money? Does the "organizer" get to pocket it?
