@Gargron To be clear, Patreon isn't a licensed money transmitter anymore than we are. They probably use the same exception in US law that Gratipay used to argue that they're not required to get a license.

P.S. One of the reasons why Liberapay isn't a "true Patreon replacement" is simply that it's not our mission to be one.

Nous venons de publier une mise à jour (attendue depuis longtemps) du statut de Liberapay : https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-status-update-a76403f4e0 (en anglais).

We've just published a (long-overdue) update on the status of Liberapay: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-status-update-a76403f4e0

Good news: the processing of payments through Stripe is now live!

If you use Liberapay to receive donations and you haven't connected a Stripe account, you should do that: https://liberapay.com/about/me/payment/ (If Stripe doesn't support your country you'll have to wait a little longer for the PayPal integration, sorry.)

If you use Liberapay as a donor you can open https://liberapay.com/about/me/giving/pay/ to see if you have donations awaiting payment. Or you can just wait, we'll notify you when a payment is needed.

As some of you have noticed we've added the possibility of connecting a Stripe account to a Liberapay account. This is only a first step in our migration away from Mangopay, we know that Stripe only supports a limited number of countries, we're working on adding other payment processors as well, including PayPal which covers more than 200 countries.

The new page to manage your payment accounts is https://liberapay.com/about/me/payment/ (please excuse its shortcomings, it's a work in progress).

If you have money in your Liberapay wallet, the time to withdraw it is now: https://liberapay.com/about/me/wallet/payout

Tomorrow we will refund as much money as possible from donor accounts, so if you haven't distributed the remaining funds from your wallet to the people and projects you support, please do it now: https://liberapay.com/about/me/wallet/empty

You can find more information in our blog post: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82

To all of you who have chosen to transfer the money left in your wallets to the people you support: thank you! These donations transferred "in advance" now sum up to over €20000 and $3400!

The Mangopay exodus is proceeding well so far: €5100 and $600 have already been transferred from the wallets of donors to creators, while €4800 and $440 have been refunded to donors instead.

(If you don't know what this toot is about you should read our blog post: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82 )

We've fixed several bugs in the donation disbursement process so if you tried earlier today or yesterday and you got a 500 error code then you should try again.

If you get a 400 error code instead, with the message "The attempt to distribute all the money in your wallet failed: X.XX remains", see https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/issues/1172

Liberapay is in trouble, here's our blog post that explains the situation and what you should do if you're one of our 2000 active users: https://medium.com/liberapay-blog/liberapay-is-in-trouble-b58b40714d82

We're back to normal now, and this week's donations have been processed successfully: €2,772.81 and $473.13 has been transferred between 2054 users.

We are having serious problems with our payment processor Mangopay today, as a result adding or withdrawing money is not possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

📈 This week 500 creators have received donations via Liberapay, totaling €2725 and $566, from 1641 patrons.

Now you can use a Liberapay URL to ask for monetary contributions from users of your #Firefox Add-on.

Reminder: we also need your support, don't forget to donate if you can. https://liberapay.com/Liberapay/donate

Nuesta cuenta de Medium ha sido restablecida.

Gracias a todos los que nos han ofrecido ayuda con el alojamiento en otros
lugares. Ya estabamos planeando montar nuestra propia cosa por varias razones
(incluyendo la completa falta de soporte de Medium para traducciones). Por supuesto,
tootearemos un enlace a nuestro nuevo blog en cuanto esté terminado.
