Important membership update: Supporter Tier, the Year One archive, and Full Website Launch! (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

I'm simplifying how I release content and how you support my work. Here's what's changing and what you need to do.

ONE PATREON TIER: SUPPORTER

Silver Label is now called Supporter, at $8 per month. If you were already on Silver Label, you're already on Supporter and do not need to switch. Existing members should check Patreon's price-change notice for when the new price applies to their billing.

Supporter gets the ongoing member releases and the remaining Patreon archive, including releases that were previously exclusive to Soul Silver. The old tier labels and tier collections are gone.

WHITE LABEL AND SOUL SILVER MEMBERS

Those tiers are retired and closed to new subscribers. Please change your membership to Supporter if you want to continue supporting here, or cancel your old Patreon membership if you choose to support through my website instead.

Your old subscription has NOT been automatically moved or canceled. Please check your membership settings so you don't keep paying for a retired tier or accidentally pay for both options.

YEAR ONE IS NOW WEBSITE-EXCLUSIVE

The Year One archive, covering September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025, has been removed from Patreon. I've backed up that content to Google Drive, and it's now reserved for people who subscribe through Minokai.com. Patreon membership alone no longer includes the Year One archive.

YEAR TWO MOVES IN DECEMBER

Year Two releases, covering September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, will also be removed from Patreon in December 2026. Until then, those releases remain available here under their current access settings.

I want Minokai.com to be the long-term home for my work. The plan is to keep my full content archive backed up and available there, so active website subscribers can access past releases at any time, including content that has left Patreon. Patreon membership alone will not include access to that website-exclusive archive.

THE WEBSITE AND MINIKAI BOT

You can now support directly through Minokai.com. Website checkout currently accepts cryptocurrency only: Bitcoin (BTC) or Dogecoin (DOGE). PayPal is not available at website checkout. Use the Discord Bot if you want to use Paypal to purchase Silver and convert it to Gold on the Website. Website membership costs 8 Gold per month, with Gold priced at $1 each. Website supporters use the website's download links rather than Patreon-only links.

WHAT ARE SILVER AND GOLD?

Silver is your paid token balance for Minikai Bot image generation or purchasing exclusive content and even commission (in the future) for either artworks or models. You can also use it for ai generation or convert it into Gold on your website profile. These are account credits, not cryptocurrencies or the old Silver Label Patreon tier.

Gold is the account credit used for website Supporter membership. One Gold has a regular purchase price of $1, and one month of membership costs 8 Gold. The bot does not spend Gold on image generation.

The current conversion is 300 Silver = 1 Gold, so 2,400 Silver converts into the 8 Gold needed for one month of website membership. Converting Silver does not activate membership by itself: after converting, activate Supporter from your profile. Link the same Discord account you use with the bot so you can access that balance on the website.

Copper is separate: it is the reward-token balance used for bot generation, including the monthly supporter rewards listed below.

Prefer PayPal for token purchases? You can still purchase tokens through Minikai Bot in my Discord server using PayPal. That is a separate payment option through the bot, not a PayPal checkout on the website.

The monthly Minikai Bot generation-token rewards are:

Patreon Supporter: 750 Copper

Website Supporter: 1,000 Copper

Rewards are distributed on the 1st to eligible linked accounts. If you join mid-month, your first monthly reward is on the next 1st. If you support through both platforms, you receive the higher eligible reward, not both added together.

Visit your profile and connect your Patreon and Discord accounts so your membership and bot benefits can be matched:

Thanks for sticking with me through these changes. The goal is fewer confusing tiers, clearer benefits, and more time spent making content. If you run into an access issue or a broken download, please let me know so I can check it.
