Crypto DM - Earn Ether from your supporters on any platform & keep 100%

Hey ProductHunt! We built a messaging tool that empowers content creators to get paid (in Ether) directly by their supporters — and keep 100% of everything they earn. It's called Crypto DM and it's launching with ETH via MetaMask. Currently only supporting Chrome on Desktop -- we're working on expanding that as soon as possible. 💡 TLDR: We believe the future of messaging is decentralized and that anyone who's worked hard to build a following should be able to create, earn, and transact freely, without having to worry about privacy, regulation, censorship or demonetization. What does it do? ⭐️It makes it dead easy for anyone to earn Ether for receiving paid direct messages from their supporters on any platform ⭐️Makes it easy for supporters to message their favorite content creators with an ETH tip in as little as 3 clicks ⭐️Messages sent are delivered by the Crypto DM Bot on a messenger of your choice, keeping your contact information totally private and secure. 👀 How it does work? If you're a content creator, you can start earning Ether quickly and securely in three simple steps: 1️⃣ Pair an Ethereum wallet address to a messenger like Telegram 2️⃣ Sign & verify your wallet address using MetaMask 3️⃣ Once you're signed up, you'll get a custom address link you can paste anywhere on the web, enabling anyone with an Ether wallet and MetaMask to send you ETH and a short note in just three clicks. It's that easy. 🤔 What's the catch? None. No hidden fees, no middleman, no time wasted. Supporters determine the amount a creator gets paid, and the creator keeps 100%, every single time. ❓Why are we doing this? We believe the future of messaging is decentralized — content creators build entire businesses around the audiences they engage with across networks like Twitch, YouTube, Reddit and so many more, but there's growing fears surrounding data, demonetization, censorship and discovery. Our mission is to release the first truly decentralized messenger, and Crypto DM is a prototype in motion of the technology that will power it. Our goal is to democratize the first decentralized messaging layer as a foundation for the release of the messenger itself. It's the perfect learning opportunity for us, while contributing a zero-fee messaging tool to the ecosystem and making it dead easy for creators to earn Ether from their audiences. The only way to grow adoption is by removing barriers to entry and friction along the way. 🎯 Who is it for? Makers, content creators, and streamers fed up by big companies taking a cut of their earnings. Demonetized artists who want to take back control of their careers. Anyone and everyone who wants to monetize their social profiles and better connect with their tribe. If you have something to share and an audience that cares, Crypto DM is for you!

I know that you already answered this, but one more time: What's the catch? How do you make money? Will you work for free as soon as this gets traction and you have to handle legal/development/business work, etc?

Very proud of our team for launching this game defining product, placing key puzzle pieces for the future of crypto, messaging and social media monetization. Huge day!

Empowering makers everywhere to earn on their own terms is the future. Crypto DM is a step in the right direction!

So, this is like STEEM for DM?

It is a dead product? Can you tell what you've learned? :)
