hey, not sure about you guys, but I'm pretty cagey about getting directly linked to this stuff. (Maybe I'm just paranoid but if it ever got out....) I'd like to find a way to support Pestilence on Patreon anonymously (so no CCs), and wondered if you guys had ideas on how to do that. And yeah, I connect to a VPN first before browsing this stuff too.

Tbh, the one idea I had kind of backfired. I loaded $100 on an Amex OneVanilla Prepaid (you can get em at a drugstore) and paid cash. Loaded to patreon and started supporting people. What went wrong? I lost track of how much I had left on the card and ran out, so I'm sure charges bounced and that put me on some sort of blacklist.

Unfortunately, the only person I'm prevented from pledging to is Pestilence. :( (Pest, if you're reading this, let me back in! I pick up a new card every few months, and I'm now supporting 7 artists.) But when I try to pledge to Pest, I get the below error message:

"Oh no! It looks like you don't have permission to pledge to this creator. The most common reasons for this are due to previous payment declines or suspicious activity. If you feel this block was in error, we suggest reaching out to the creator on another platform."

Any thoughts you all had on how to support without it being linked to you, pls let me know. Thanks, this is my first post on this site so pls be kind!
