 Time to raffle off some free art!

Everybody else was too slow- Vivid Publishing is launching our own Patreon alternative, today.

If you’re unfamiliar with the #PatreonPurge, plenty of other content creators are covering the circumstances that led to commentators and cartoonists being banned from this platform.

But Dreamkeepers isn’t banned- they love us over here, so why are we launching a Patreon alternative? Because readers were asking for one. A good number of people wanted to support us, but through a different outlet- and my answer was yes!

So we joined Makersupport.

It was shut down by the cartel of payment processors.

So we joined Subscribestar.

It was shut down by the cartel of payment processors.

Hatreon, Freestartr, Gab, everyone who tried to build their own platform to date has been shut down by the ruling cartel of Silicon Valley companies and their payment processors.

The damn cash register is deciding what you are and are not allowed to buy!

But the internet doesn’t like hearing ‘no,’ and now EVERYBODY is talking about building alternative platforms. But nobody’s delivered yet, so Vivid Publishing has stepped up.

Welcome to the Dark Market.

www.darkmarketcrypto.com

In the Dark Market, you can find creative content you love, support it, and get rewards. The Silicon Cartel can’t stop you, because we accept Bitcoin, and we use a newly founded, independent credit card processing service- Zero Strings.

If you’re new to Bitcoin, there are links in Dark Market to introduce you to the basics. Getting started is about as hard as setting up a Paypal Account, except Paypal can freeze your funds, and Bitcoin you can spend and accept with total freedom. I don’t know anything about investing, all I know is Bitcoin is an unstoppable way to conduct transactions. People are calling it “free speech money.”

Any Dreamkeepers customers who use Dark Market here in January, I’m going to raffle off a free single-character lineart commission. Payment options, instructions, and rewards are listed right there on the page.

Launching with us in the Dark Market is Boneitis, Corvus Publishing, DireWolf Media, Darkspeeds, and possibly more creators coming soon- so check in with them, they might have some launch specials planned as well.

Now, we will continue posting on Patreon. I might not like everything they do, but then again, I don’t like everything the government does, and I still use roads. But all Dreamkeepers Patreon content from here on out will be available through Dark Market- including some things that may be too spicy for Patreon’s TOS.

If you want to know more, go to www.DarkMarketCrypto.com, and join the underground.

We have cartoons.

Double dipping for Dave? I'm in!

Nicholas Knudson

I'd advise anyone using this to keep a close eye on there accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if it was hacked out of pure spite.

WDG

How does the annual subscription work through Zero Strings? I see options for monthly 1, 5, and 10.

Synariel

Any subscription threshold to enter the raffle? also do we have to use the cryptos or can we still use PayPal to participate in the raffle?

DNMZ

To spicy ? Mmm

Dreamkeepers

Paypal participation is fine- the min. threshold for the raffle is the $5 level, which covers a content subscription for 1 month. (Equivalent to the High Resolution Patreon backer in terms of rewards, except Discord perks. But the same art is shared.)

Dreamkeepers

We recently finished a couple erotic commissions- but Patreon's TOS technically forbids porn, and they've been banhappy lately, so I'm thinking it would be unwise to post those here. But I can share with no fear through Dark Market.

Dreamkeepers

Bear in mind, it's the same content here as there! The only difference is Discord rewards, and access to polls and stuff.

Dreamkeepers

Even if they hack the Dark Market website, it doesn't contain any customer info- so there's nothing for hackers to steal. At best, they could target the crypto exchange where we've set up a wallet, to snag the temporary amount we're processing. But even if some super-hacker compromised the exchange, it wouldn't grant access to any identifying customer data- that's how Bitcoin operates.

Dreamkeepers

The 5 one is the correct one. ZeroStrings is still pretty new, so I can't engineer our options on there just yet. But $5 gives access to all our monthly content, including PSD downloads.

Nicholas Knudson

Right then, just have to keep an eye on Zero Strings. The big companies have shown they don't take too kindly to upstarts.

DNMZ

Will they only be posted on the Darkmarket and nowhere else ?

Garrett Simpson

More Zip files sound convenient,especially if you start grouping the old CNS stuff together and put out special themed ones every now and then for fun

Shaun Albert

How does the raffle work

Synariel

does paying for the SKOM suggestion tier on darkmarket still allow you to vote on patreon and see all the post for the corresponding tier on patreon as well or is everything gonna be mailed?

Synariel

Something strange happened, bought a 5$ subscription and got a confirmation mail but PayPal indicates that the payment recipient is dire wolf media

WDG

After getting a Zero Strings subscription set up, do I need to email you at the gmail address, or is that only required for the crypto options?

Dreamkeepers

Anyone that signed up for at least a month subscription via Dark Market during January, I'll put their name on a slip of paper, and draw one winner from a hat.

2021-12-24 16:49:01 That's probably accurate- they're the guys who founded Zero Strings, so I think it would show up as being their company. It should be all good, they're keeping me in the loop on signups. Just be sure to e-mail me so I have confirmation. I have a few e-mails already, will be replying & confirming subscriptions later today.

For now, e-mail my gmail just to confirm. Zero Strings is still new, so they manually notify me- but until they complete their automated notifications (in the works), I feel better being in touch with our subscribers so I make sure to include everyone.
