I'm still hoping (but well past holding my breath waiting for) GNU's Taler project to deliver us from this mess. https://taler.net/en/news/index.html https://taler.net/en/news/index.html Having an external audit and a response plan is, helpful for finally solving the payment processor / money transmitter issue. Though the real solution for Patreon, and so many other issues, is some kind of automated escrow service built on top of that, with a best case outcome of seller and buyer agreeing and a contested case of review by other registered entities in the service deciding the outcome of the contract.
