Pay me directly
The same plans as Fanbox, paid in crypto straight to my own wallet. Prices here are in US dollars. All of it reaches me, and I get it the same day instead of next month.
Never used crypto before? Here's how to get set up, in three steps.
This is for you if Fanbox doesn't work for you, or you'd rather buy a voucher or pay for months upfront. Fanbox is still great if it works for you. I offer this because crypto reaches me with no platform fee, the same day.
A few things are different from Fanbox: nothing renews by itself, a payment you've sent can't be reversed by a bank, and unless you already have some, you need to buy crypto first.
What buying the crypto costs you
On top of my price, the place you buy from takes a cut, and it depends a lot on how you buy. These are rough figures.
| Way to buy | Roughly | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Card, through a buying service | 5 to 7% | The quickest. A card Fanbox rejects may fail here too. |
| An exchange's simple "buy" screen | 4 to 6% | It can say "no fee" and still cost this much, because it's built into the price. |
| An exchange's order book, paid by bank transfer | 1% or less | Usually the cheapest, with more steps. A new account may have to wait for identity checks. |
Only buy what the payment needs, right before you pay. This is a way of paying, not an investment.

1. Get a wallet app
I use Cake Wallet and it's been easy. It's free, it's on iPhone and Android, and it holds the coins I take.
Skip "full node" wallets like Litecoin Core. They download the coin's whole history before you can use them, which really does take days. If a wallet says it needs to sync for a week, that's what's happening, and it's the wrong app for this.
When it shows you a list of words, write them down on paper and keep them somewhere safe. They're the only way back into your wallet if you lose your phone, and anyone who has them can empty it. I'll never ask you for them, and nobody else should either.

2. Get some coins
If this is your first time, Litecoin is the easy one: almost every exchange sells it. Buy it wherever works in your country (Cake Wallet's Buy button is one way, an exchange app is another), then send it to your wallet.
Monero is the private one, but a lot of exchanges don't sell it anymore. Either pay me in Litecoin, or buy Litecoin and swap it to Monero inside Cake Wallet.
Get a little more than the price, a few dollars' worth. Prices move a bit, and sending costs a small fee.

3. Pay from your wallet
Make your order below and I'll show you an exact amount. Send it from your wallet, not straight from an exchange: a wallet adds the fee on top so the exact amount reaches me, while exchanges often take their fee out of it and then it won't match.
On a phone, the "Open in my wallet app" button fills everything in for you. Otherwise use the copy buttons, never type an address by hand. Then paste the transaction id from your wallet back on the order page.
After that it says "I'm checking it" until I've matched it in my wallet, usually within a day, and then "Paid".

If something goes wrong
- Sent too little? Message me with the order number and I'll ask for the rest.
- Sent it after the price ran out? Message me with the transaction id. I'll credit it at today's price or ask for the difference.
- Sent the wrong coin, or used the wrong network? That usually can't be recovered, which is why the order page says the coin so loudly. Please check before you send.
- Stuck somewhere? Message me and tell me which step.
You need an account here first, so I know whose order it is. A pixiv account isn't needed for this.
How it works
Pick what you want and a coin, and I'll show you an exact amount and my address. That price holds for 60 minutes.
Send exactly that amount, then paste the transaction id here. I check my wallet by hand, usually within a day, and the moment I confirm it you have what you paid for.
Months queue up: if you're already covered for this month (here or on Fanbox), they start after that. Each month's points and pulls arrive when that month starts.
There's no auto-renewal: when your months run out they just stop, and I'll remind you a week before.
Crypto can't be sent back, so I can't refund prepaid months. If you send too little I'll ask for the rest, and if you send it after the price ran out, message me and we'll sort it out.
