Donate4.Fun - support creators with Bitcoin Lightning

Hello there! We are excited about Value4Value economy and people's ability to directly support content creators instead of watching ads or locking to a platform and its donation rules.

We are waiting for a bright future where every author would have a lightning address and is ready to accept payments, but now it's only a marginal minority who actually has one. Some authors use on-chain addresses to accept donations, but it's not an easy way to donate - you need to copy the address, open your wallet, enter it, enter the amount, confirm the transaction, pay fees - too many actions if you want to donate small amounts many times a day.

While there are few creators that currently accept crypto donations, there are also not so many people who have a Lightning wallet and are ready to give their satoshis.

To solve this chicken-and-egg problem we are making a browser extension that allows you to support creators using Bitcoin Lightning even if one has no Lightning address or even a wallet. We named it Donate4.Fun and it works like a virtual locker box - you send satoshis to a creator's account on Donate4.Fun, tell him about your donation using a comment or dm, and then he can withdraw his funds after verification of account ownership. It currently works for YouTube, but we have plans to add support for other social platforms like Twitter, Medium, Telegram, GitHub, etc.

Here is an extension for Chrome and Firefox.

We are looking for early adopters who are ready to try to use our service and provide us with a feedback.
