Deep dive
How it works
GoFundYourself is a bulletin board and share toolkit — not a payment processor.
Founder creates a campaign
Sign in, write your story, set an optional goal, and paste a Bitcoin address and/or Lightning address you control. We validate the format; we never take custody of keys or funds.
Public page + QR
Your campaign lives at a clean URL with a scannable QR (BIP21 for on-chain, Lightning Address URI for LN). Supporters can copy the address or open their wallet.
Share everywhere
Use the share kit: native share, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, email, copy-link, and downloadable QR. Social previews use Open Graph images so the campaign looks intentional in feeds.
Peer-to-peer payment
Money moves wallet → wallet. Network fees (miners / Lightning routing) may apply; our platform fee is always 0%.
Optional: tip the platform
If the model is useful, founders or supporters can voluntarily tip us so hosting stays free for everyone. Tips are never required to publish or contribute.
