Just recently a team of programmers announced the creation of a ‘Bitreon.cash,’ a platform that aims to be similar to the popular membership application, Patreon. This particular platform, however, will be censorship resistant and powered by bitcoin cash (BCH) payments. In order to fund the protocol, two developers have raised 47 BCH so far out of their 100 BCH goal; the funds will be used for marketing Bitreon.

Bitreon.cash Aims to Launch a Patreon-Like Platform Powered by Bitcoin Cash
Patreon is a platform designed by Jack Conte and Sam Yam in 2013, and the membership service provides users with business tools so creators can design a subscription content service. Over the years the service has become very popular and is used by podcasters, Youtubers, artists, musicians, and cryptocurrency luminaries like Andreas Antonopoulos use the service. However, Patreon has its downfalls because it’s a centralized service and the web portal has censored things like adult content. Moreover, the protocol does not allow bitcoin payments for reasons tied to filing with the IRS, the Patreon Zendesk details.
So, two developers Jimmy Birer the creator of Cashflow.fm and the React wallet, alongside a front-end engineer named, Maciej Bowkorski, plan to launch a functional Bitreon.cash on August 1. The development team plans to deliver the complete Bitreon application on September 1. Bitreon.cash has also released the project white paper which details how the platform will function in a decentralized fashion and utilize BCH.
“With Patreon disabling cryptocurrency payments, we see an opportunity to create a Bitcoin Cash membership platform that brings complete freedom and control to content creators and their subscribers,” explain the developers
