This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people’s fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.

    “Payment system” makes it sound like a replacement for PayPal or Stripe.

    But it’s really a replacement for ko-fi or buy me a coffee.

    I want to see how they handle PCI data but this seems promising.
