i suppose you could make a $10 donation to the site and they could give you free coupons for articles.
- adolph 2y agoThe coupons could be on a cryptographic ledger so you have access to it from mobile/desktop/family members and any article could ask for payment from it or maybe different pricing for different sales funnel entry points. I think this is what Brave browser has set up, but I havnt been motivated enough to inquire.
- lxgr 2y agoOr they could just be… in a regular old database of the issuer, who is the one that will validate them anyway when you redeem them for articles?
- lxgr 2y agoIf the articles are still free for everyone, sure! If not, that’s not a donation, but rather a regular payment for goods and services.
- exe34 2y agodo clubs count as payment processors? do hotels/bars who keep a tab with pen and paper?
- lxgr 2y agoI don't know what counts or doesn't count as a payment processor exactly in these states (GP brought that up, not me). In any case, the tax status of a payment (donation or payment for goods/services received) would most likely be orthogonal to that, i.e. I don't think you could skirt any of these requirements just by saying you're taking donations.
