One thing right away would be brave basic attention tokens, as well as setting up a subscribestar and liberapay.

I do have cyrpto donate links in the heart icon on wolfballs. I don't advertise it because I don't need any money for this. It's still cheap.

Federation sort of poses a problem – if you set up wolfballs gold it isn’t gonna show up on fbxl lotide or fbxl social or poast unless it’s a system that tries to DM someone who got the gold with instructions on redeeming gold benefits independent of the website, unless you just say “sorry, thanks for the great post but unless you’re a wolfballs member you just get a nifty star on our website” which admittedly would invlcentivise joining the instance.

We could fork our own crypto as a way to implement this. That way anyone could use the coin in their instance however they want.

Would need to think about that. I have thought it would be funny to make a coin called like wolfturd. You know because it would be our own custom shit coin.
