I know you don't want to dox yourself, but if you're American or have business registered in the US you should contact your banking institution to see if they are currently or will soon be participating with FedNow to see what you might be able to work out with that. It should theoretically function as a payment processor where the individuals using it should be "uncancellable" due to it being a properly Federal service beholden to citizen's (and business') Constitutional rights, the downside being that you do need to have an actual identifiable human name attached to it, but whether it's your own legal name or some surrogate willing to have their name attached to it in lieu of your own doesn't really matter. If you get really desperate to protect your privacy you could always go the route of setting up some shell companies to obfuscate it as well, though I'm not sure if this little forum is really worth so much trouble to you.

Easiest solution would just be to start accepting cryptocurrency, put your wallet addresses for a few of the most popular and stable currencies at the top of the page and encourage users to start investing in crypto. XMR specifically is a fully anonymous option which can still be cashed out for real world dollarydoos without too much complication.

Nobody uses cryptobutts. I've had my addresses there for ages.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Have you considered maybe not soliciting money for RustyHQ, but rather, simply having a thing that people can give money to that is benign and totally uncontroversial, like Rusty the Terrible Stick Figure Artist, which is not at all connected to RustyHQ in any way?

Account seems to be unfrozen now. Didn't receive any messages explaining why it was so, so I'll wait a bit I guess. :scratch:

I felt bad and made the call to have it reversed.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

It was a test to see if you would post it here or not.

Worked the issue out, now accepting stripe again. We(RPGHQ) don't violate any of their terms of service, to the best of my knowledge.
