Hello. I think it's not a secret for everyone what is happening in the world right now. I sincerely tried to find some workarounds, but everything seems to be useless. I still have not received your dues for April, they are somewhere between Payoneer and my bank, when this money reaches me and whether it reaches me I have no idea. I generally decided not to withdraw the contributions for May yet and wait for the previous transfer.

My savings won't last long, maybe two more months. After that, I will have to completely stop porting content for Gmod / SFM and look for some real stable income in my city / country.

As an analogue, I can suggest that you switch to the Boosty service, it is almost an analogue of Patreon, except that I cannot conduct surveys and the price tag can only be set in rubles.

I think that the main problem for the majority will be that the dollar against the ruble is now jumping every day and the subscription may turn out to be either cheaper or more expensive. I plan to set the rate $1=75 rubles, this is more or less the correct average rate at the moment.

The most important thing is that through boosty you will be able to support my creativity for some time. From this service, I can 100% receive funds within a day, and not expect perhaps 1-2 months of transfers from Payoneer, which may also stop working with Russia.

Boosty hates my credit card, for some reason. I tried to pay another Russian modeller after a few times with no problems, and ever since then they keep rejecting my card. But others seem to have no trouble.

There is another service sponsr.ru, it seems to be a clone of Patreon...

I'll have to have a look, but one of the problems for me is that it requires my social media (and the information that contains) just to log in. Rather than a simple email-password.

Sometimes it's even faster, but it's very strange that you can't just register. They also ask you to enter a phone number.

I really agree to any analogue of patreon, as long as it is convenient for everyone, and it was convenient for me to receive money from it. Today I registered with another bank, I will try to transfer money using it.
