An Alternative to Patreon?
About a week ago Patreon.com announced that it was updatding is Patreon's fee structure and a lot of my creative buddies jumped ship. This is very often used service for people in the RPG Industry to use. (See Dyson Logos, who has made it into the top 100 Patreon earners more than once.) This got me to thinking and planning an alternative to Patreon, a crypto-based, decentralized, immutable, unerring system. Had a brief chat with @nenad-ristic about it via the Viva Crown Holder's Chat.
Even though they admit they dropped the ball I still feel like this is a fantastic idea. Steemit has the potential to work for this, with a few caveats, people need to be able to donate other currencies, mainly Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum. (Things easily got for the non-techie layman, i.e. Coinbase assets).
Would anyone be interested in this if I were to open the project up? Open source of course!
Thanks,

P.S. I don't normally ask, but please upvote and share, I would like to get this proposal in as many peoples hands as possible.
I'll keep an eye on this. I haven't really been impressed with Patreon direction since I started using it.
I love this idea and am eager to see more solutions for the monetization of creative content.
But why Viva? What are its strengths compared to a Steem + Ethereum hybrid platform?
I don't really know anything about Viva yet and would really appreciate any insight you can share.
viva will exchange any 2 any, meaning they can deposit ETH and it will convert to VIVA then to LTC for example. Since Viva's value is pegged, the conversion process should be at full value all the time, or at least most of the time.
Steemit + ETH is not a bad idea though, I am still looking for alternatives.
