Support the Channel!

Here are some ways to can donate to the channel and me. Every bit is appreciated.

Affiliate Links

Use these to "donate" without even costing you extra money:

• Get a VPS with Vultr: the link gives you a $100 credit for a month. If you stay on and spend $25, I'll get that first $25 so we both win and maybe Vultr gets a customer. I host all my websites, my email server and more on a Vultr VPS. I made a script that sets up an email server on a Vultr VPS that you can try out if you want.
• Register a website domain with Epik using that link and I get 20% of your initial payment as store credit.
• I use the Brave Browser and if you download it from that link and I get some free crypto if you use it for a month too. (See my video on Brave.)
• Join LBRY, which is a crypto-based video site via this link and we both get a little of their crypto Monopoly money.
• Join Coinbase here and I get $10 in Bitcoin if you eventually buy/sell $100 in cryptocurrency.

Single donations

• Zelle at luke@lukesmith.xyz – You probably don't know about Zelle, but all Americans already have it and should use it! See info.
• Paypal
• Bitcoin, Monero and other cryptocurrencies. 👈 Click for info.

Recurring donations

I do have recurring donation sites like Patreon and Subscribestar, but I no longer post any paywalled content because it's too much trouble and I view it as arbitrary to paywall some material, so use these sites just to donate.

• Zelle at luke@lukesmith.xyz – You can set up recurring donations with Zelle too. See info.
• Patreon
• Subscribestar (New)
• Github Sponsors (New)
• Liberapay (Very old, but still works!)

You can also use this button to set up a recurring donation:

Donate directly (no charge, via Zelle)

You probably haven't heard of it, but there is a relatively new money transfer system that most banks in the United States maintain called Zelle. It's really just a protocol for transferring money directly from account to account with just an email, so it works pretty much with the ease of PayPal.

If you have any bank account in the United States, you probably already have Zelle and don't know it.

To use it:

• Log on to your online banking for whatever bank you have.
• Search for a "transfer money" or "Zelle" section.
• (You may have to confirm your email, but "setup" is automatic.)
• When asked for a recipient, just put in my email address: luke@lukesmith.xyz

Note: If you send a Zelle donation for the podcast with a question or comment, I recommend also sending the question/comment to my email address. Zelle seems to sometime misplace comments on donations (at least with my bank): I get the money, but if you have a comment it doesn't always display to me.
