I do a bunch of stuff on the internet: videos, tutorials, essays, podcasts, etc. I charge for nothing, I pay-wall nothing and I sell absolutely nothing digital and I believe everything digital should be free of charge.
If you do want to give back, send me Bitcoin or Monero:
Monero

(Or superchat with Monero)
Bitcoin
All crypto I get is held safe and with self-custody.
You can also send money to luke@lukesmith.xyz via Zelle or PayPal or Venmo.
Books
I do sell physical print-to-order out-of-print books at LindyPress.net. I recommend you take a look and buy some because they’re all good and worth having.
Affiliate Links
As a note, I’ll put affiliate links here if you want to “support” me in some way by using products and services I use and recommend. If you use the service after linking one of these links, I usually get some minor discount or store credit that minimizes my bills so that’s appreciated.
Web services
- Frantech/BuyVM – VPS host with unmetered bandwidth. Better than Vultr, but I recommend it less because they are smaller scale and don’t always have VPSes for sale. If they have openings, I say get one!
Vultr – Host a website. Most of my tutorials are built for Vultr (but should work on all platforms).
Cockbox – VPS host that requires no real names and takes Bitcoin and Monero.
JMP.chat – An XMPP-phone service for literally only $3 per month. Anonymous with bitcoin. Use this
code: 5E224DE9 to get your first month free.
Credit cards
I’m a big fan of credit card churning, which can make you a couple thousand of dollars a year at the expense of banks. Get one of these cards by the link and I might get account credit or points. You will make probably more with introductory offers.
- No annual fee cards:
- Chase Freedom Flex
- Chase Freedom Unlimited
- Discover It
- American Express Blue Business Cash
- American Express Blue Business Plus
- Annual fee cards:
- Marriot Bonvoy Boundless (1 free Marriott stay every year.)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- American Express Blue Cash Preferred
- Hilton Honors Business
Note
If you benefit from any of these services or cards, you can recommend them to your own friends for affiliate benefits too.
Note that there are services that I used to post links for like custodial crypto exchanges, but I don't do that since I really think using them contravenes my principles. Leveraging all the services above is fine.
