I finally managed to get a tip jar going on the blog! It was really hard to set up. I kept doing the wrong thing over and over again.
The tip jar is in the tabs at the top of the blog if you want to check it out. It's run by Coinbase, which seems like a reputable company to me.
The reason why I'm going with cryptocurrency is because I'd still like to try to preserve what privacy I can. AI isn't so advanced yet that ChatGPT is just going to automatically give up my legal name. With traditional currency tips, I'd go with PayPal or Venmo, but from what I understand, the terms of service for those require you to give your legal name to donors.
If you ever see a tip jar from buymeacoffee.com, it's a scam. Someone took my user name on that platform. Also, if you see copies of my eBooks anywhere other than Amazon, it's a scammer (or at least a thief). I can't guarantee the quality or accuracy of those books. If I prepare and polish something related to Naja Tau, I'll link to it from this location on Blogger.
I've taken down most of my Naja Tau accounts other than this one anyway. I've taken down my Weebly site, my Instagram, my Facebook, I don't use Twitter anymore, I'm not on YouTube, Zazzle started charging $5 a month for accounts under a certain monthly income so I got rid of that, and I don't have a Patreon at the moment.
I am considering trying out Patreon for my readers, but I don't know if anyone would be interested or could afford it, and I don't know how much time I will have to devote to that after I find a job. And what would I offer? Monthly horoscopes? Articles about dreams? Music? Pictures of my cat's feet?
Please, just play it safe if you're interested in supporting me and go through the links here on Blogger. It's a horrible thing when people doing evil get away with deceiving those with positive intentions.
