Have you ever dropped your change in a donation jar at a store, with barely even looking at what it is supporting? If your business runs on donations/tips, why wouldn't you let people drop some change on your website as well? CentiPenny's Virtual Tip Jar allows just that!

Small tips (< $1) will play a big role in enabling a creator middle class. Most monetization strategies are targeted at the 1-5% of serious fans. #microtipping allows casual viewers and fans to tip at a level they are comfortable with. 10k people tipping $0.10/week = $52k/yr

In that case, We are now raising $99m on a SAFE, closing next week.

What do non-specific payments qualify as??

Excellent news!! The Senate is introducing a bill so that IAP will no longer be a walled garden. Great for competition... aka CentiPenny! youtube.com/watch?v=1wgdqN…

In general, people want to tip and be generous to those they see as deserving IRL. Why shouldn't that carry through online? The problem is that current tipping methods don't allow an amount that is inline with the value of the content. That is what CentiPenny is for! 🪙🪙🪙

Random thought: "But what if [big company] decides to clone your business?" How many business opportunities never happen because big biz won't try it until it is proven and that question kills the startups? How many industries never happen or are held back by that question?

The EU is not far behind. US congress has a bill introduced that would open up the app stores. It even has bipartisan support as both parties are going after big tech. We will see if congress is still capable of legislating, even when they agree. There is hope.

Happy New Year to everyone! CentiPenny will be back in early 2024!
