(no action required) Pledge backend currency change: $ -> £
🕑 Added 2025-11-05 14:11:25 +0000 UTCHi Folks,
Almost nothing should change, and no action is required on your part.
I'm mostly making this post so no-one is surprised with a small price fluctuation.
What's happening: I'm changing the Patreon backend currency from $dollars to £pounds.
This might slightly vary the actual price you pay, but ideally by almost nothing, I'm switching it over at today's currency exchange rate. (any tiny price increase is entirely accidental, and I can only apologise in advance)
Hopefully, everything will Just Work™ and you'll not even notice. I'll keep you updated, and thank you so much for your support!

PS: Why am I making this change?
I have realised that I'm throwing away money by first charging in USD because like THREE COMPANIES charging me currency conversion fees before landing in my account!
I think this might have been losing ~5% of your generous financial support into fees, which is dumb, and I'm sorry I didn't realise until now.
I believe this will most affect my American friends, as anyone who doesn't pay in USD has experienced this price fuzziness already.
Fore example: If you were previously paying the exact dollar amounts I was charging ($1 for DEV) after the change, it could be very slightly more or less, perhaps something more like $1.02 or $0.97 for the DEV tier, depending on SPOOKY GLOBAL ECONOMICS.If anything goes wrong, and you are charged incorrectly, please don't panic, it's super easy for me to refund and fix stuff - just send me a message through Patreon or comment on this message.

Thanks for the heads up and good that you are eliminating currency exchange fees! That SHOULD.NOT.EVEN be a thing now, as everything is digital and calculation for said exchange is automated.
