If you are around the Greater #Vancouver Area (Canada) I’d love to invite you to join the #vanjs (Vancouver JavaScript) meetup. My colleague Bibi Souza will be hosting the event and talking about #WebMonetization!

But I still hate crypto."

For #WebMonetization I'm aware of only three wallet providers. Only one available in Switzerland.
Actually I'd love to have an open interface with multiple options, so that creators can have multiple options for their supporters to choose from. Then I can have e.g. #Librapay WebMonetization, and #GNUTaler, while @blog might prefer e.g. Paypal, and Bitcoin, etc.
That fits the #fediverse best.
As I was researching (again) #WebMonetization for the blogs, and didn't like the 3 available "Wallet" options, for myself and users visiting, I went back to "Buy me a Coffee" and created a simple membership tier: €1 / month.

AdSense optimization works best when it’s done without policy risks.
This guide walks through practical ways to improve AdSense performance while staying fully compliant — focusing on layout, UX, and long-term sustainability instead of shortcuts.

Grant for the Web to Make the Fediverse More Sustainable, Democratic, and Fun
Thanks to the Interledger Foundation for their generous Grant for the Web to the Social Web Foundation. With the help of ILF, we are launching a new program area focused on economic issues on the Social Web. In particular, we'll be producing three reports: one on sustainability for social web instances; one for the Fediverse and the creator economy; and one for cooperatives on the Social Web. In addition, we'll be engaging multimedia Fediverse apps for using the Web Monetization standard. You […]How do #interledger and #GNUTaler differ?
We need federated fiat. Trusted banks or credit unions acting like servers. Apps that let you send money as easily as we send email today, without a middleman. Enabling us to build cool programs that connect to other services, like paying creators for the time we spend with their work. But doing all this without the problems of crypto, just like we don't keep all our money in cash under the mattress.
Last year at #FOSDEM, I met with @pfefferle about hooks in @activitypub.blog in order for @Interledger’s Web Monetization plugin to add wallet addresses to profiles and posts.
A year later, it’s reality! 🙌

AI tools can help publishers increase AdSense revenue by improving content quality, user experience, and ad placement — not by adding more ads.

Responsible Disclosure: Chimoney Android App and KYCaid
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/01/responsible-disclosure-chimoney-android-app-and-kycaid/Chimoney is a new "multi-currency wallet" provider. Based out of Canada, it allows users to send money to and from a variety of currencies. It also supports the new Interledger protocol for WebMonetization.
It is, as far as I can tell, unregulated by any financial institution. Nevertheless, it performs a "Know Your Customer" (KYC) check on all new account in order to prevent fraud. To do this, it uses the Ukranian KYCaid platform.
So far, so standard. But there's a small problem with how they both integrate.
I installed Chimoney's Android app and attempted to go through KYCaid's verification process. For some reason it hit me with this error message.
Well, I'd better click that email and report the problem.
Oh, that's odd. What happens if I click the protected link?
Huh! I guess I've been taken to Cloudflare's website. What happens if I click on the links on their page?
Looks like I can now visit any site on the web. If Cloudflare has a link to it, I can go there. For example, GitHub.
Why is this a problem?
One of the most important things to do when testing WebViews is to make sure that only trusted content can be loaded in it. Any newly loaded page could be potentially malicious, try to exploit any WebView bindings or try to phish the user. Unless you're developing a browser app, usually you'd like to restrict the pages being loaded to the domain of your app. A good practice is to prevent the user from even having the chance to input any URLs inside WebViews (which is the default on Android) nor navigate outside the trusted domains. Even when navigating on trusted domains there's still the risk that the user might encounter and click on other links to untrustworthy content
Emphasis added
A company's app is its sacred space. It shouldn't let anyone penetrate its inner sanctum because it has no control over what that 3rd party shows its customers.
There's nothing stopping an external service displaying a message like "To continue, please transfer 0.1 Bitcon to …"
(Of course, if your KYC provider - or their CDN - decides to turn evil then you probably have bigger problems!)
There are some other problems. It has long been known that people can use in-app browsers to circumvent restrictions. Some in-app browsers have insecure configurations which can be used for exploits. These sorts of "accidentally open" browsers are often considered to be a security vulnerability.
The Fix
Ideally, an Android app like this wouldn't use a web view. It should use a KYC provider's API rather than giving them wholesale control of the user experience.
But, suppose you do need a webview. What's the recommendation?
Boring old URl validation using Android's shouldOverrideUrlLoading() method.
Essentially, your app restricts what can be seen in the webview and rejects anything else.
Risk
Look, this is pretty low risk. A user would have to take several deliberate steps to find themselves in a place of danger.
Ultimately, it is "Code Smell" - part of the app is giving off a noxious whiff. That's something you cannot afford to have on a money transfer app. If this simple security fix wasn't implemented, what other horrors are lurking in the source code?
Contacting the company
There was no security.txt contact - nor anything on their website about reporting security bugs. I reached out to the CEO by email, but didn't hear back.
In desperation, I went on to Discord and asked in their support channel for help.
Unfortunately, that email address didn't exist.
I also tried contacting KYCaid, but they seemed unable or unwilling to help - and redirected me back to Chimoney.
As it has been over two month since I sent them video of this bug, I'm performing a responsible disclosure to make people aware of the problem.

@raymondcamden I fail to read between the lines if this is sarcastic, ironic, or literal. Sorry for the direct question, but as someone interested in #WebMonetization (https://blog.tomayac.com/2025/11/07/using-the-web-monetization-api-for-fun-and-profit/), I'm honestly hoping to understand if ads work for personal/indie blogs like yours.
Curious how Web Monetization uses #OpenPayments?
Part 1 of our new series breaks down the basics, the browser extension, wallet setup, budgets, and how creators get supported behind the scenes.

Web Monetization is Still Inching Along, But Still Too Difficult
A theory has occurred to me as I woke up (probably irrational but I'll voice it anyway, just to get it out of my head)
I have an Uphold account from when the coil Web Monetization thing was running. They recently moved from allowing standards based 2FA (TOTP) to mandating installing their mobile app to sign in even on the web.
My first thought was that this was an information grab, but now wondering if it is also to stop people cashing out during a price crash
