Hi, I am registered in Itch.Io for years and this is my first post, because I am worried about extreme censorship.

I come with a solution suggestion, maybe it may be very silly what I will say and requires a lot of evaluation, but why not leave the credit cards and starting using Bitcoin? In order to protect us. One of it's qualities is pseudo-anonymity, and governments/institutes cant control that currency neither its transactions.

For example: Fantia did that, they are working with crypto (Toracoin) to protect artists. Source

This cannot be overlooked, since they are violating the rights of the consumer and also many content creators and artists.

(moved to the right category)

I shall put in my petition to endorse CureCoin. It is a medically focused coin, however it lacks an economy. 
For holders of this coin, no fears should be added because the CureCoin Foundation is designation 501c3 and thus holdings of curecoin can be counted towards tax deductible donations. Return of value is guaranteed. 

Their main banner: CureCoin (dot) net. 

Capitol One JUST obtained Discover, which could potentially be in our favor:

American Express can be pains in the ass, but they are definitely a potential alternative payment processor.

Other alternative processors are:

This isn't an exhaustive list by any means, as there are many others.

This could make the concept more accessible. I can imagine people unfamiliar with crypto would adopt it in order to support creators here on the site instead of purchasing the same things through an obscure method. Good idea. 

I don't know much about crypto and can tell you it's hard to justify in my mind trying to use crypto not knowing much about it. I don't know how to get any don't know where I would go to find out and for me and likely a lot of people that would be a big turn off. 

Hi, sorry to tell you, but in this archived thread, where someone representing a crypto payment processor was offering business for even the adult games on this site, leafo (creator of itchio) responded to the thread and said that he isn't interested in crypto.
