It's been a long, hard road to this point, but I'm pleased to announce that effective immediately, we are officially accepting subscriptions to SoylentNews. Subscription support is an important step in helping make SoylentNews successful as an independent entity that is fully funded by its users. In case you don't remember, here's the rundown of subscription features:

  • Subscriber badge (toggleable)
  • Early access to features
  • Exemption from ads if we ever run any
  • Full comment histories/access to database-intensive operations
  • No rate limiting or spam filtering

You can purchase a subscription on your user panel, or by clicking this link. Subscriptions are $20/year, and you can be reminded via email when that period is coming to an end via subscription settings. All payments are currently processed by PayPal, but we hope to add new merchant support in the future.

Here's hoping to seeing lots of stars in the near future!

    Appreciate the offer but we're going with GoPay so we never have to actually own any cryptocurrencies or deal with the accounting necessary for doing so. There is, however, no perl module to interface with their API, so I'm having to write one from scratch before we can even get down to the logic side of things. My personal goal is to have it ready to roll out by the first weekend of September but you lot know how good time estimates are when they're made before you even start on a project.

    Given that you didn't say September of which year, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to deliver in time. ;-)

    Ok, I'd expect it'd be esier for you to have a third party to handle it. Have fun with the coding!
