I am working on editing @reiver 's FediCon 2025 demo right now.

(Is it weird that I am talking about myself in the 3rd-person?)

Once it is edited, I will upload it to the FediCon PeerTube account:

My #FediForumFriday for today is — the CrowdBucks source-code is here:

https://codeberg.org/crowdbucks

It is MVP right now.
So A LOT more work needs to be done, but — it works.

CrowdBucks

CrowdBucks is an open-source Fediverse-native platform for crowdfunding, tipping, payments, and memberships — supporting server admins, open-source developers, creators, and more.

Codeberg.org

Why CrowdBucks?

Because the Fediverse deserves its own infrastructure — including funding tools.

No Patreon. No Ko-fi. No lock-in.

CrowdBucks — Fediverse native, self-hostable, and open-source.

I have been looking for (working) Payment-Pointers being used by others.

But, ever time I find one — it doesn't work (mostly because one provides seems to have stopped working).

...

For example, over here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250222120416/https://pupper-pages.glitch.me/

If I look at the HTML source-code, I see a Payment-Pointer.

But the host in the Payment-Pointer doesn't work.

I implemented Simple Payment Setup Protocol (SPSP) (from scratch) in the Go programming-language.

Base on the specification I found before.

I found some updates for the https://paymentpointers.org/ web-site that haven't been deployed:

https://github.com/interledger/paymentpointers.org/pull/57/files

Some of it confirms things I suspected. But, there is also new information in there.

Payment Pointers

Payment Pointers are a standardized identifier for payment accounts. In the same way that an email address provides an identifier for a mailbox in the email ecosystem a payment pointer is used by an account holder to share the details of their account with a counter-party.
