Suggestion: Allow support of NexusMods with cryptocurrency

[lavmorc]

I know this topic has come up in the past but I just wanted to add my voice: I'd like to become a supporter of NexusMods (and go ad free) but I don't want to put my personal information into the payment form. Perhaps you could accept crypto in the future. I would rather donate $5 in Bitcoin than $2 in US dollars.

I think this is a great idea and would rather donate bitcoin to mod authors as well.

And I'd happily accept your Bitcoin. :P

 

But yeah, I also support this idea, if it is feasible for the Nexus.

Coinbase Commerce makes it easy. However, it would only really work for donating to Nexus itself because it can't route crypto to individual authors.

To make it easy to donate to mod authors, maybe we could allow authors to add a Bitcoin address to their profile so people could donate manually.

I would like to see Nexus Mods adding a new donation. I can see the fields that the mod author needs to fill in look like this...

You can recieve donations in any cryptocurrency of your choice! To add a cryptocurrency donation, enter in the name of the coin and your address.

|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Coin       |Address                                                  |
|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------|
|Bitcoin    |17mmd6HfhkFB2kLy2GBbWenn48YJf7mGwg              X Delete |
|Litecoin   |qrjkkd8hnl2mat0z396dzwm8sha2m6vpey0c3w2ezn      X Delete |
|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                               + Add |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|



You can share your Unstoppable Domain URL and recieve donations to the cryptocurrency addresses linked to your unstoppable domain URL. This will only work in cryptocurrency wallets that support unstoppable domains as addresses.

|Unstoppable Domain URL    |nexusmods.zil                    X Delete |

All this is needed some settings that can be filled out by the mod author and the filled out fields will be shown whenever the donation request pops up such as when someone downloads a mod.

 

No need to integrate an API or payment processor since cryptocurrencies are peer-to-peer payments and are very secure. All that is needed to make this work is,

 

Adding fields on Nexus Mods accounts to add your cryptocurrency coin name, cryptocurrency coin address, and to add a unstoppable domain URL. And have these fields show up under donations. That is it!
