First post in 4 years I’ve been busy bootstrapping PromptBase to 450k+ users But I was burning $9,400/mo in opaque Stripe fees for seller payouts So today I’m launching Zoneless: an open-source clone of Stripe Connect using USDC Identical API, except payouts cost $0.002 I’ve been dogfooding it on PromptBase for 3 months: - 2,200+ sellers onboarded - 1,400+ payouts completed - $9.4k/mo in Stripe fees → ~$5/mo - 73% of sellers chose Zoneless over Stripe

@tinyprojectsdev This is very cool, but I run a few marketplaces and nobody, ever, has shown the slightest interest in being paid in crypto. Likewise, none of their customers have wanted to pay in crypto either. This probably has huge value in certain niches though, and looks great 👌

@ryanseanbadger Thanks Ryan! PromptBase might be a bit skewed as AI x Crypto has some crossover, but we've definitely found that sellers have a big interest in using it and will push through if it means faster access to funds + payouts.

@tinyprojectsdev @ryanseanbadger It is often the way that those seeking bridge heads for difficult circumstances will use new tech. I tried to set up a USD account using Wise for payments into Uganda. Couldn't be done because I didn't have a US address. I'm in London, UK. (My family once lived in Monksilver!)
