   So, how does one found a payment processing co-operative that is self-sustaining, secure and can avoid fraud and money-laundering?
   Or a bank/building society/credit union with its own payment system, where one can set up an account, transfer money via BACS, then spend it freely with artists?
   How would one found it so it can’t be carpet-bagged and sold off to the censorious monopolies?
   What legislation would one have to comply with? What does the UK FSA require? Can it be invite-only or otherwise limited in membership to start with? The intention there would be to prevent over-subscription leading to scaling problems.
   Then there’s the question of international money transfers… perhaps these could be batched to reduce costs?

   This is to set out questions worth considering to find ways to push back against this undemocratic Gileadry.

   (pls don’t anyone start going on about klep-bro currencies)

   Thank you for this video. It’s frustrating that the US has such a stranglehold on payment processors (and the internet at large, really). I do hope that more indie websites pop up and that indies group / band together to promote each other, as I can imagine that being one of the biggest reasons why much people tend not to have their own platforms (with most search engines being down the drain and all that). I can only hope that the UK doesn’t implement laws that shut all of this down (OSA comes to mind, for example).

   Glad to hear though that local markets are doing well 🙂 Looking forward to Thoughtbubble!
