Who's your target market here? People who want to donate or people who want to receive donations?

Is this a business or a hobby? Ie do you expect it to get revenue? Or are you just doing it to pass the time until something more interesting comes along? (Both are OK, but it helps to know.)

If a business where do you expect your revenue to come from? Separate donations? A commission on donations?

Target market is content creators(so, people who receive donations). I am doing it as kind of a side gig, might get more serious if people actually show interest. Currently the project will primarily run from donations, I might convert to a commission based model if there's traffic and interest. :)

So, if 1000 content creators sign up, but there are no donors...?

What will be really interesting to see is if people who accept donations will donate to you.

I wish you well, but honestly it seems like your funnel is really really small...

I agree the funnel is narrow, especially early on. This kind of platform naturally faces a “cold start” problem: creators show up hoping for donors, but without initial traffic or discoverability, things can feel quiet. Currently to deal with this scenario, I am focusing on: 1. Have a smooth frictionless setup - just connect your wallet and send you donation. 2. For the initial phase I would be focusing on creators with an already existing audience who have a preference to donate with crypto and to give creators a way to monetize where they already are (Twitter, Telegram, personal sites, etc.). 3. I’ll be relying on this myself to fund development. If other builders on HN or elsewhere support the project, great. If not, I’ll learn fast whether this is worth iterating or pivoting.

I don’t expect thousands of users overnight, but even a small group of crypto-native creators using this and giving feedback will be valuable.
