What not to send

Any incoming non-BTC crypto will be ignored.

Fiat. The site does not accept dollars, cards, PayPal, Strike, Cash App, Venmo, or any other fiat rail. If you want to support the site, buy a small amount of Bitcoin first; how to buy Bitcoin walks through the cleanest paths.

Sponsorship, affiliate, or paid-placement offers wrapped as a "tip." Those are not tips; see Contact for what is and is not a real inquiry.

Tips you cannot afford. The site is free; sharing a page costs nothing and is more valuable than a $5 tip from someone whose budget cannot support it. Read Order of Operations first.
