heres an idea i came up with and you can have.....

if viewers like a video they leave a 10c tip (or more) via bitcoin. your site buys and sells bitcoin but takes a small comish to do so. the site would make mega bucks and only good content would be promoted. who evere runs with it will get too greedy.... so it needs someone unintrested in money to have a truly free platform.

I've thought of integrating crypto donations and fully plan to. It won't be something available right off the bat and I don't plan on taking much/if any of a cut of it, I'd rather all of it go to the channel instead. If the website is turning enough of a profit to sustain itself and grow at a steady rate, then I don't want to get greedy by nickel and diming users every opportunity I get.
