@bluzeo Hey, thanks for letting us know! And sorry about the problems installing. We'll take a look at it today.

@nemo @methyltheobromine @arh Thanks for understanding!

We fully support Tor users (we've run our hidden service for over 5 years), but as mentioned, we have some automated systems in place to block spam, which can sometimes catch legitimate users. Thanks for sticking with us, we appreciate the support!

@barbayellow Thank you! And thanks for letting us know.

We ran out of space on that server 😬 But it's all fixed now!

Maintenance complete! All went well, with minimal impact.

🚧 We have some planned maintenance tonight at 05:15 UTC that will cause some downtime only for hosted blogs with custom domains. It shouldn't last for more than an hour.

We'll keep you updated on our progress. Otherwise, check here for updates: https://status.write.as

@weirdwriter Sure thing! Here it is: https://write.as/blog/monetize-your-writing-with-micropayments

@sexybiggetje All good questions! Yes, Coil is a payment provider (the only one at the moment). But they're interchangeable behind the Web Monetization standard -- as long they work with WM and we support that standard as a platform, end users get the same experience.

From what I've read, I think the big differentiators between providers would be how much they charge / pay out and how they treat privacy. (For example, this discussion: https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-web-monetization-a-new-revenue-model-for-the-web/3785/2)

@schmittlauch I think this is actually close already -- the paywall is totally optional. Just adding the "monetization" meta tag to a site means visitors automatically start "tipping" when they arrive, so you can keep content completely open if you want.

I do like the idea of explicitly tipping, though (whether through WM or another way). I think we need a combination of ways to pay. But I believe that part of the tech is still in development.
