I’ve been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue.

Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker.
First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc.
They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents.

Is there any platform or api allowing this?

  • Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both.
  • The platform shouldn’t be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US).
  • I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome.

Any idea appreciated, I’ve been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.

      Thank, OpenCollective is great, especially for opensource.
      Maybe I overlooked a detail, but I didn’t see a feature to split donations across payees?

        It doesn’t have the functionality explicitly. But it works by anyone being able to submit an expense and they have to be approved by an admin of the page then it’s processed in 2 weeks. All transactions logs are public (private information is only visible to admins), so if both people are admins on of the page, they can see and approve each others expenses or cancel the submitted expense if something fishy is going on.

        There are are plenty of services that have split sharing via cryptocurrencies, but I imagine having similar system with fiat currency just doesn’t make sense as it adds a lot of complexity for the entity that handles the transactions. There might be one, but I’m not aware of it.

          Alright, this is a multi-step process, but it seems workable. I’ll look further into it then. Thank you!

    Look up multisig bitcoin wallets. It does most of what you want and might be what you’re looking for.

      You are correct, there are many solutions for cryptocurrencies.
      I’ve considered the ETH safe wallet for a while https://safe.global/wallet
      I would rather prefer Eth2.0 over Bitcoin, though. Bitcoin is limited, clogged and polluting.

      However, the general sentiment this year is so heavily aggressive against any cryptocurrency solution, it is getting weird.
      I am worried that if I put any cryptocurrency solution, people would automatically close my page, without even giving it a read.

        If you go the crypto route - use Bitcoin. This is coming from someone who owns a lot of ETH. Yes, it’s outdated but it works and is the most recognizable/popular digital asset.

        I’ve seen plenty of websites with Bitcoin donation addresses. I’m not sure how long you’ve been familiar with Bitcoin but despite what you may think the sentiment around it is more or less the same as it has always been. It was just as criticized at $30 as it is now at $30k.

        If your only using it to collect then convert donations to your local currency then use what’s popular.

          I get your point but I wouldn’t choose bitcoin for the sake of its popularity, when there are a housand times better solutions out there.

            I mean, there are also better solutions than ETH, but having better technology doesn’t guarantee anyone will use it or Monero would be leading the market.

            If there is only 1 surviving cryptocurrency 10 years from now it will most likely be Bitcoin.

            Anyways, I hope you find whatever works best for you.
