Decentralize All Things
Introduction
Welcome to SaidIt's Decentralize All Things wiki upon which good things will follow.
This editable wiki page is similar to a comment but anyone can edit and contribute, including adding internal links (include the entire SaidIt html path) and external links to other websites.
Assistance with Markdown code formatting can be found on this Commenting wiki page for common issues to advanced techniques.
If this wiki page grows too unwieldy then sub-pages can be made for specific topics.
If this wiki page grows too unwieldy we may use the uncensored WikiSpooks.com and/or InfoGalactic.com wikis to add and curate content and/or do non-encyclopedic open-wiki-projects in coordination with SaidIt.

Financial funding alternatives list
Started at this post: /s/DecentralizeAllThings/comments/b3e/decentralization_alternatives_financial_support/
Mainstream:
- banks, credit unions, financial institutions, trusts, etc
- credit cards
- WP: PayPal
- WP: Patreon
- WP: GoFundMe
- WP: Kickstarter
- WP: Wefunder (on which Subverse raised million(s) in record time, Everipedia also)
Gab.io and Voat.com are the extreme canaries in the coalmine. If they are getting banned by WP: Coinbase and Square’s WP: Cash App, not to mention WP: GoDaddy, then SaidIt may be next.
Alternatives to consider:
- https://BitBacker.io
- https://SubscribeStar.com
- https://EntroPay.com (used by Red Ice TV as mentioned on 2019-08-10 yet their site says closed 2019-07-01)
Please feel free to comment for full disclosure on the pros and cons.
Further, there's no shortage of WP: cryptocurrencies as this WP: limited list attests. (Wikipedia has a war on against cryptos for fear of scams, yet support all the myths of the establishment and their giant scams). There's a dedicated subsaidit at /s/cryptocurrency to discuss this specifically.
Paywall alternatives list
Ryan Dawson has gone through hell being censored.
In his interview with the Halsey News Network "Radio Free America (Episode 268): Social Censorship" (2019-03-04) @ around 1:40:00 they discuss who he's ruled out and the solution he goes with now. He finally set up a paywall through Cleeng after trying Muvi and Wistia and other stuff.
- Cleeng - https://cleeng.com - Cleeng is a company based in the Netherlands that does nothing but payment processing. Subscriber Retention Management™ Designed For OTT. Most advanced APIs for maximum modularity and OTT efficiency. "Cleeng Core enables you to build a comprehensive OTT video platform and manages all aspects of subscriber management for you. Cleeng Core consists of identity and access management [IAM], product entitlement, customer service, subscriber billing and advanced analytics functionalities."

- Muvi - https://www.muvi.com
- Wistia - https://wistia.com

Sadly , Ryan Dawson said "they" were messing with his Cleeng account @8m+ in "A bit of everything with anti-bolton" (2019-06-10).
Ryan Dawson also adopted1 an alternative-to-YouTube censorship-workaround live-chat with super-chats (donations / payments / tips): https://streamlabs.com/Rys2sense
