Sigh.

Is the limited range of donation sizes an attempt to avoid KYC anti-laundering regulations?



I doubt it, as they will be enforced by Stripe / PayPal on the payout end.

The laws regulate once you hit certain thresholds, like $100-$500 but it's aggregate not individual contributions (and this service is geared toward more mass market crowd funding).


It is to avoid using BuyMeACoffee for money transfer. We lift this limit for 'verified' users. Nice username BTW ;)
