DocsSupport & launches
Docs · the tip jar
Subscribe to a verified creator or clan, send a one-time tip, or back someone's game launch or tech startup - all in Vibe Coins, all voluntary, all final. Not a charity, not an investment.
Creator memberships
Monthly tiers plus one-time tips. Personal support goes only to verified creators (request verification on the Support page - every application is reviewed by hand); clans receive through their moderators into the clan wallet.
💡 Tip
1-100,000 coins, one tap. Final when sent. You cannot tip yourself; clan owners fund their own clan via the wallet.
🔁 Subscribe
First 30-day period charged immediately, renews every 30 days. Cancel anytime - future renewals stop, completed periods are not prorated or refunded.
🛟 Short on coins?
A renewal you cannot cover lapses to past-due instead of dragging you negative. Top up and resubscribe.
Community fundraising, for launches
Gift-based backing for creative projects only: game launches, tech startups, and creative tech. Every campaign states a goal, a story, and what the coins will fund. Backers give gifts - no ownership, no returns, no enforceable right to any reward.
🎮 Game launch
Art, servers, polish, launch marketing. Tell players what hitting the goal unlocks.
🚀 Tech startup
First build, beta hosting, SDK licenses. Explain the milestone the coins fund.
🧪 Creative tech
Tools, mods, engines, weird experiments. Honest scope beats hype.
🚫 Never allowed
Charity, medical, emergency, disaster, political, or investment language is rejected - automatically and on review.
The money
A supporter pays gross coins; 25% stays with the platform and 75% mints time-locked Crowns for verified creators (or credits the clan wallet) - a verified creator's coin balance or a clan's wallet - as on-site platform credits (cloud compute, game credits, other on-site services only; never cash-out directly, never withdrawable as Coins). Raised campaign coins work the same way, minting Crowns for creator-direct campaigns. Start at /support or /fundraisers.
Example: a 400-coin ($4.00) job → 300 coins provider credits, 100 coins platform. You only ever see the gross 400. All credits are on-site only (cloud compute, game credits, other on-site services); never cash-out, never withdrawable.
Trust
Campaign creators must describe their project truthfully. Misleading campaigns can be frozen, hidden, or removed, and defrauded backers may be re-credited from frozen amounts where possible. Report abuse through the in-Service report flow or matt@mattyjacks.com.
Under the hood
One tap, one recipient, no take-backs. POST /api/support/tip takes exactly one destination - a verified creator or a clan, never both, never neither - and an amount from 1 to 100,000 coins. The tip_creator routine moves the coins, takes the 25% cut inside the gross, and mints time-locked Crowns for people or wallet credits for clans.

finalMemberships
Creators and clans publish monthly tiers; supporters subscribe for 30-day periods. The first period charges immediately, renewals tick every 30 days, and cancelling stops future renewals - completed periods are never prorated or refunded.
📋 The tier catalog is public
GET /api/support/tiers lists active tiers (up to 100, cheapest first), filterable by creator or clan. No login needed to window-shop.
✏️ Tiers from 1 to 100,000/month
POST /api/support/tiers creates one with a title, a monthly coin price, and an optional blurb. Skip the clan and it is a personal tier - but only verified creators may publish those.
🔁 Subscribe, watch, cancel
GET /api/support/subscribe shows your subscriptions (newest first, up to 50). Subscribe charges month one at once; cancel ends it at the period boundary, no partial refunds.
Paused, not gone
The fundraising code is in place but launching, backing, and closing campaigns are disabled while the money-between-parties compliance is worked out - money-transmitter rules, tax reporting, payouts, refunds, and fraud handling across borders. Browsing still works; the money routes answer 403 for now.
🔍 Browsing still works
GET /api/fundraisers lists open, visible campaigns (newest first, up to 50, filterable by category) with live progress - gross raised and backer count - attached to each one.
📝 Campaigns need a real story
When they return: a title (4-120 chars), a story (20-5,000 chars), a goal from 50 to 1,000,000 coins, one of three categories, and honest use-of-funds. Throttled to a handful of launches per hour.
🤖 Screened automatically, reviewed by humans
Creation refuses charity, medical, emergency, political, and investment language on the spot. A pending-by-default review queue ships with the compliance re-enable; until then new campaigns default to visible.
🎯 Goals are hopes, not contracts
Backers give gifts - no equity, no interest, no profit-share, no enforceable right to any reward. Creators must still describe projects truthfully or face freeze, hide, or removal.
One emoji, one meaning
Four symbols, four ledgers, never mingled. Tips, tiers, and campaign backing move Coins; creator earnings arrive as Crowns; org timekeeping runs on Ghost; clan applause runs on Love Letters.
💸 Real Money
Actual fiat, actual cash. Whenever we mean dollars, we say 💸 - never 🪙.
👻 Ghost
Org-work records from the timer. Ghost emoji only, never paired with cash. No value, no redemption.
🪙 Vibe Coins
Closed-loop platform credits. 100 🪙 = $1.00. Spendable on-site only; never cash-out, never withdrawable.
💌 Love Letters
Earned only when a human applauds your clan post - spendable on advanced awards. Never convertible into 🪙; the ledgers stay separate.
