@conjured.ink is a collective building a network and community of ecommerce tools that will allow for cheap or even free self-hosting of online shops by anyone, while providing maximal freedom when it comes to payment processors.

Yes. We skipped it this year in favor of applying to the big NGI grant this time around and then we’ll go for Taler once we’re ready to add the plugin

That said I very much foresee the potential for tighter integration with social media.

Oh and yes we have talked about supporting out of band payments of many sorts, including “mail me a check” or “pay me at the conference”

Note that we are specifically an e-commerce platform and we plan to add support for Patreon-like things over time—but we’re not specifically a social platform, aside from comment support and newsletters/POSSE.

We do plan on having a pluggable payment system and we want GNU Taler to be one of those

Sorry! The deadline was Nov 20 and we already announced the winner but you can follow for updates. We might do another one eventually.

can I DM you to hash out details? :)

Please let us know if you have any questions or if something isn't clear! We look forward to seeing your applications and hopefully working with y'all!

While we're a FOSS project that accepts contributions from anyone, Sand Witches are official members of our Collective—core developers, basically—and have voting rights over the direction of the organization as a whole. As such, there are also higher expectations about time etc.

Want to do more?

First, go follow these peeps, support them, and use their infographics!

Still looking for applicants for this one. If you know any product people who care a lot about helping creatives in need, please send them our way!

It should be all good now! We were doing a DNS transfer and there was a brief hiccup. Thanks for letting us know
