Crypto donations as payment method in the future?

Greetings to the Krita team and Krita community.
I was thinking. How about you add cryptos as a form of payment as well?
I’m mainly thinking about stablecoins like Binance USD(BUSD), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin(USDC).
(but if some people want, they may also donate some Bitcoin)
Adding this would make worldwide donations much easier to happen.

What do you think?
Krita’s crypto account can be created on Binance, which I highly recommend as it’s one of the most secure crypto banks available. Creating an account is easy and only requires KYC verification to make transactions possible.

KDE and Krita as far as I know currently do not accept crypto-currency.

Here is the source for KDE - Donations to the KDE e.V. | KDE e.V.

And here is a statement against crypto-currencies by krita team on twitter - https://twitter.com/krita_painting/status/1435896417139183620?lang=en

And again the same sow is driven through the village…

I don’t think that the views on this topic in the Krita Foundation should have changed by now, why should they, you shouldn’t change your opinion like a flag in the wind.

BTW, Binance & reliability:

And two German articles that make me think (you can use Google Translate or similar services to read these articles if you like):

A summary: “After the bankruptcy of FTX, the first crypto exchanges are providing insights into their reserves. But the efforts of Binance and Co. are not entirely convincing.”

A summary: “The crypto exchange is facing many accusations in the UK. Now the British financial regulator is also warning that Binance poses a significant risk to consumers.”

Absolute nonsense.

In Germany, there are governments elected by the people. You can find oligarchs in Russia.

I wasn’t aware. Taking back what I said.
Security is a serious matter and I can’t blame the FCA or Germany for this decision.
It’s for the well being of their citizens. Doesn’t matter if Binance wants to keep confidential the data of its users.

Nonsense indeed and the articles I’ve just read can show me why.
So I’m taking back my earlier statement. Nothing to do with some oligarchs.
My bad. It was an errored assumption.

Well. Too bad for me.
I wanted to count on crypto to make donations.
Looks like it’ll be impossible. :sweat_smile: :neutral_face:

I guess the only way out, is to have a personal wallet for the Krita foundation.
One for which you’re yourself the bank. But you would also have to let the FCA know about it and authorize you first. Which apparently, won’t happen at all due to all the security issues going around with the crypto world. I don’t know. Maybe it means your crypto income would have to be “regulated” so that you do not escape taxes as well. I really don’t know.

Don’t want to talk for Krita foundation, but for what I saw in their communication, all cryptostuff seems to really not be on their heart :blush:

Nah…at least not now…too risky/complicated. Perhaps in the future with it is well established and regulated…if it ever is…

Just my opinion!
