I've been adding most of the videos that I watch to the FediverseTV playlist, I think a lot about how Google has a rich history of the videos that I watch Yet, often people I know have never heard of any of it. -

I was a property developer and have worked in finance. I know how these people think (and I have to stop myself sometimes)
But Bank of Dave - he is doing it for the people. I want to see that happen too.
No rent seeking, just rewarding people.
Ideally a network of trusted servers, maybe run by banks, or local councils or local clubs/ charities with a treasurer that oversees the distributions, which are mostly automated.

Philosophy is good though... all money is debt... money is not real at all, but a figment of our imagination

I totally agree, getting away from the big players is important.
In Australia we can easily pay other people with their phone number.
In the US it is hard - that is why Paypal and others came to be.
In the UK and EU, it is really simple, and free to do transfers.I imagine getting a community bank or building society involved to help with the actual money part - eventually that might solve multiple problems.
It would mean creators have to open an account -

But what if I sent $10 to fedipay.
and 100 other people did (1000).
Then fedipay worked out that the server in eastern europe needs ~333 and canada needs ~334 and vietnamese server needs ~333
Then the local server admin could use the local bank to send $1 to by bank transfer to the local developer - etc. -

In Australia and Europe banking is easy. But the idea is a creator/contributor creates an account on a fedipay server.
They put their chosen way to receive payment there.
Eventually the servers will communicate with each other to settle up, and any remaining funds are transferred back out to their final place.
For now I am just building the actual server and extension for tracking (that you own and control) -

But I don't like nebula. And having a bunch of different subscriptions to substack, pagreon, kofi etc I also don't like.
So I have started working on @fedipay fedipay.net
An open source, decentralised creator reward system so I can pay creators my way, with simple transactions ixeally eventually too
