As far as I know there are already:

  1. E-commerce market = XMRBazaar
  2. Freelance market = monero.jobs
  3. Donation and Stream = Xmrchat

But i still didn't see a subscription service that can become alternative to Patreon. What make Patreon interesting is that you can make a tiered service for your supporter and plus you can give exclusive content that only the member can access. Does anyone know such service exist within the Monero community?

UPDATE:
Because there is few information available on the service with such concept thus born XMRStars, a membership platform for people that want to monetize their content made by @nolan.

wellness check, how's the things going?
any numbers regarding funding yet?
maybe could have a thread on moneroforum regarding projects like these that could be seeking funding
as the CCS is gatekept, slow and whatnot, and seems like you guys already been able to raise a bit
like, actually kinda hyped to the idea of this project being able to reach full funding from moneroforum, if it can be done, that would be bullish af for the community here ngl lol

@everyone: lets support our local (digital) businesses that actually bring something of actual value and empowering people
like this project right here could allow people to make a living from their work, patreon alternative a very valuable project :thumbup:

@SpinningCat I'm gonna make a voting poll for the design that i've made. Want to know what the community like the most. Nolan has been busy lately so he cannot give update as often right now but there is progress. You can check the xmrchat for the all donation that has been made. Thank you @SpinningCat for checking. Really appreciate all the support from everyone ❤️

Hey everyone, sorry its been a while i couldnt able to update here. My Bangkok trip cancelled but I am in Kuala Lumpur right now. I am open to coffee offers :)

So, Onboarding for creator's account completed, I recorded a video for you guys. I am open to feedback and request here, so lets discuss :)

we talked with @sepia in private and he recommended couple things like captcha (which i will implement it without javascript) and also some changes on invite system. We are thinking about limiting the creator's invite link at first for reducing spam accounts. After creator's account verified by moderation, they will have more invite codes to share.

And also if you guys didnt vote yet, please vote the our logo pool in here: https://monero.forum/thread/xmrstars-logo-poll#thread-poll thanks again @sepia for awesome work :)

@Kodomu we can add your link on our website, i believe it's gonna be "thanks to sponsors section" type. Please let us know what do you have in your mind.

@SpinningCat thanks for asking :) right now there is no numbers, same as last time I mentioned but I believe it's normal. We are still around 1.8... XMR funded which I am planning to pay server/domain name costs only.

I couldn't apply for CCS because GitLab cannot allow me to create account. Of course I wanna work on this project full time but I need to pay the bills end of the days :) my plan is after 2 XMR, I can pay myself a bit more and work more on xmrstars project. What do you guys think about that?
Even if I don't get funded I will continue to work on this project part time for my own free time :)

Now my future development notes:

  • Dashboard page is not completed, there are 5 pages should be edited such as; Subscribers, Payout Page, Packages, Posts, New Posts, Settings, and Profile
  • I didn't work on Monero wallet and payment side yet, so it will take some time.
  • Fan can create account but they dont have any page yet, will design something for them like X feed or Patreon dashboard.

Thank you again for all the supports, donations, feedback and texting me.

@nolan I just watch the vids, that's awesome man. I like the fact that there's many option to add other social media link. It's really useful for people that have many audience from various platform. And the addition of USD currency to help people measure the amount of their money and also other crypto like btc for people that already have their saving in Bitcoin.

I'm glad you like with the design hehe. I'm gonna send the update for the banner here too. The website name already changed but the banner still have the old name. Gotta revise that

I don't care if it's getting old, I prefer the orange colours when representing a project that involves Monero. Really nice banner regardless.
