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.

If you like with the vision of the project, consider supporting it through: https://xmrchat.com/openfans

this seems like the kind of project people would be willing to support the development of, as long as real proof of work can be shown @sepia

@nolan It looks all okay to me, just let me know when you need something.
I'll have the fastest response on matrix but here or via ticket is okay too.

I don't want to "spoil the party" here, but don't we have everything needed to do this already? I messaged some content creators that I used to support on Patreon and explained to them that for personal ethical reasons I can only support them with xmr going forward. They said "I understand", and messaged me a monero address. Now i support them still without Patreon. Does this xmrstars thing enable anything we can't already do?

@bro They accept monero? That's good to hear that we got hidden adoption. This is from my point of view but there still value to this website because there are many people that got banned on Patreon and cannot host their content themselves either because they don't have the money or they don't have the knowledge to set up website and the payment processor. You'd be surprised that there are even big influencers that got kicked out by Patreon like Tyler Oliveira, thankfully he have the resources to make his own website for people to support his work.
