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

@nolan Thanks for the mention :)

We can certainly work out different network speeds if required, especially from next week onwards where our uplink port gets upgraded to 100 gigabit (Friday actually!), and even more so in future when we finally get our IXP connections since that will be more like 200-250 gigabit total uplink.

Our upcoming dedicated servers will come with more flexible bandwidth to reflect that upgrade (10Gbit burstable based on 98th percentile), but those might not be needed for a smaller site and of course are a higher starting price than the VPS offering.

@SuperViber sure thing as long as anybody wanna talk or hangout.
@sepia thank you again for hard work on banner, now updated xmrchat page, looks awesome :)
i mean i cannot disagree with those companies, a lot of scammers using those services and abusing the system.

@Kodomu thats awesome, probably we can use your dedicated server, I like to support monero people, especially businesses who are here, thats means those businesses listening customers.

@nolan We can also offer similar bandwidth flexibility on the VPS plans if you don't need the performance. Price depends as always, bandwidth in the DC we use is pretty expensive (but is very reliable too), but since we're not going to be bottlenecked on our side very soon, we can definitely drop the prices all round. I'll need to check by how much when the switchover is done.

@Kodomu thank you, we probably will use two VPS. one for monero node and other one is hosting and serving video/platform together. Bandwidth and storage will be a huge deal if things go wild :)

whenever we are ready we can talk about it <3

Thank you for tips again @sepia and "CRY FOR HELP" <3

on xmrchat, supporter name "CRY FOR HELP" donate us and send this message: "PLEASE change the name, it makes it sound like a crypto porn site."

Is there anybody feeling that way? If community wanna change the name again, we can change it.
for example: xmrtube.com :)

Bitter Coffee
Tamarind
Grindr (grinding, like grinding for work)
Hustler (gotta appreciate the hustling)
Awesprit (awesome in spirit)
HeavenDoor (Okay i borrow this from Jojo)
LittleTrees
BigTrees
Rootster (i'm rooting for you kind of thing)
Cacty (we're cactus bros and you like cactus as a mascot)
Spriteful (full of spirit)

Personally i like Cherry Stars more. What do you guys think?

cherry, like virginity?
so, circled back to porny sounding xD

not a fan of any of the names on your list unfortunately
wb Sourceful?

or, stepping away from english with the power of chatgpt

Gachi (가치)
Meaning: "value"
Also sounds similar to 같이 ("together") when heard.
Conveys creators and supporters building something together

Tsunagu (つなぐ)
Meaning: "to connect"
Very strong fit for creator-supporter relationships.
Tsunagu
Tsunagu Club
TsunaguOS

Apoia
From "apoiar" (to support)
This is perhaps the strongest Portuguese option.
Immediately communicates patronage
Easy to pronounce internationally
Examples:
Apoia
ApoiaHub
Open Apoia

I'm an artist (skills in vtuber making and livestreaming), wannabe singer, and chronically lonely loser- always willing to chat about nearly anything. Don't hesitate to start a convo with me.
