<2021-07-12T01:13:18.000Z> IRLStreamer: Donation - I have a visa gift card with a little over $100 on it. How should I give it to you?
<2021-07-12T10:14:44.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: Make sure it's activated for online spending. Some cards require manual activation at a website. If it's activated, just send the details. Is it USD?
<2021-07-12T20:04:32.000Z> IRLStreamer: OK I'll do an online transaction with it and send the details later today. It is (may Allah forgive me for uttering this word) NZD. Also I have an idea for a resilient method of payment processing, don't think it's been done before, but maybe you've already thought of it. So want to run the idea by you before I invest too much time into it
<2021-07-12T20:06:15.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: mate if it's a giftcard that works online I can charge it
<2021-07-12T20:07:33.000Z> IRLStreamer: I dunno what that means. It'll work online though
<2021-07-12T20:10:53.000Z> IRLStreamer: What if there was a registered charity for the purpose of providing support to those suffering hardship due to online harassment. And ppl could donate either generically into a pool (so charities law is met) or you could donate to a specific person (free text field). Public view of incoming and outgoings but identities of recipients kept secret for obvious reasons. That's the very very brief version
<2021-07-12T20:16:03.000Z> IRLStreamer: CCV is 465 https://img.poast.org/59b5ab7187d867aedbf43d7d1ecc1417fcd080ef1dc5c1bdd926d8d47e81464d.jpg
<2021-07-12T20:18:25.000Z> IRLStreamer: Here's the rear in case there's info you need to check remaining balance (URL shown above mag strip)  https://img.poast.org/75ff38cd58ae27c7f53cdff1c871e1729bbb55d7e2865a2a0956418289ab0fb1.jpg
<2021-07-12T20:44:05.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: Is it $100? It bounced
<2021-07-12T20:44:10.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: I did use NZ$
<2021-07-12T22:31:28.000Z> IRLStreamer: I'll check exact balance. There was $200 and I spent around $70 USD so there should be over 100 remaining 
<2021-07-12T22:33:38.000Z> IRLStreamer: Oh here we go
<2021-07-12T22:33:41.000Z> IRLStreamer: Your current card balance is:$95.39
<2021-07-12T22:36:48.000Z> IRLStreamer: Does that buy me a bit of time to talk about why my idea to create a (secretly dissident) charity is (in)feasible? 
<2021-07-13T11:41:23.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: Charities are very regulated
<2021-07-13T11:42:22.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: That worked btw, thanks fren
<2021-07-14T02:05:48.000Z> IRLStreamer: Yeah I've been reading charities law and I think I can pull it off. Would need a lawyer and accountant up front, which I can cover from my own monies, but would want to recover costs over the first year or two. I have a few strategies for hardening against deplatforming in mind, having a registered charks
<2021-07-14T02:06:09.000Z> IRLStreamer: Registered charity for the stated purpose of supporting victims of online harassment t
<2021-07-14T02:06:54.000Z> IRLStreamer: Is a good cover when the trolls come to raid it. Sorry kept hitting enter by accident
<2021-07-14T02:08:43.000Z> IRLStreamer: Another idea is keeping a reserve pool of money, (a) to lower risk score calculated by automated banking systems and (b) so they can't easily close the account, since they'd have to return the money somehow (or explain to the news why they stole money from victims of harassment) 
<2021-07-16T19:54:17.000Z> IRLStreamer: I guess that's a hard "no" then. Seemed like a McAfee-eqsue dismissal without consideration but no skin off my nose I suppose
<2021-07-16T19:55:16.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: Trying to make a charity is an expensive and lengthy process and it needs a charitable purpose approved by the IRS.
<2021-07-16T19:55:25.000Z> josh@kiwifarms.cc: Consult an attorney. I don't know what you want from me. I'm not an attorney.
<2021-07-16T20:25:40.000Z> IRLStreamer: Was asking if that's an avenue you've already seen attempted or seen fail.
<2021-07-16T20:28:31.000Z> IRLStreamer: The charity wouldn't be US based. But anyway, was wondering if there's a solid reason it wouldn't work, aside from start up costs. I have too much spare money and want to do some good in the world. Like it or not you're an expert on hardening Internet services and you know more than most about how payment systems work. I'm trying to find a way to give you a credit card donation gateway nigga
