seems like basically every artist makes a point of exclusively using paypal

what a shame since paypal is evil incarnate and i want it to die a gruesome and lonely death

dwolla and square cash are neat, and the latter is basically zero setup, but alas they both only work in the US

i guess there’s always bitcoin

I suspect any payments system that gains enough traction will end up going the same way that Paypal did.

Of course artists could always just do something via Gumroad or something, like having a “buy a commission” page or whatever.

i’ve grumped about this plenty of times before but i am extremely disappointed that moving money around is still such a colossal pain in the ass

if the other person is local then it’s literally faster to just go to an ATM and give em cash than to fuck around with any electronic thing

us financial system is a colossal stone-age joke
