What platform/api could I use to split donations across multiple benefactors? - eviltoast

I’ve been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue.

Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker.
First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc.
They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents.

Is there any platform or api allowing this?

  • Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both.
  • The platform shouldn’t be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US).
  • I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome.

Any idea appreciated, I’ve been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.

    If you go the crypto route - use Bitcoin. This is coming from someone who owns a lot of ETH. Yes, it’s outdated but it works and is the most recognizable/popular digital asset.

    I’ve seen plenty of websites with Bitcoin donation addresses. I’m not sure how long you’ve been familiar with Bitcoin but despite what you may think the sentiment around it is more or less the same as it has always been. It was just as criticized at $30 as it is now at $30k.

    If your only using it to collect then convert donations to your local currency then use what’s popular.

      I get your point but I wouldn’t choose bitcoin for the sake of its popularity, when there are a thousand times better solutions out there.

        I mean, there are also better solutions than ETH, but having better technology doesn’t guarantee anyone will use it or Monero would be leading the market.

        If there is only 1 surviving cryptocurrency 10 years from now it will most likely be Bitcoin.

        Anyways, I hope you find whatever works best for you.
