I'm still hoping (but well past holding my breath waiting for) GNU's Taler project to deliver us from this mess.

Having an external audit and a response plan is, helpful for finally solving the payment processor / money transmitter issue.

Though the real solution for Patreon, and so many other issues, is some kind of automated escrow service built on top of that, with a best case outcome of seller and buyer agreeing and a contested case of review by other registered entities in the service deciding the outcome of the contract.

Unfortunately if you want to reach critical mass you need popular appeal, and a large part of that means a snappy name for your project. It's shallow but it's true.

GNU is pathologically incapable of coming up with appealing names.
