Also accepting tips via CC exposes you to chargebacks, were people can actually financially damage you (ex. they donate and chargeback, they get their money back, you get nothing + a ~$20 chargeback fee)

Also credit cards are an extraordinarily expensive way to send fifty cents.

Stripe charges 2.9% plus 30 cents per successful transaction.

So your fee on a fifty cent micropayment would be 63%.

The lightning network would be free or perhaps one sat, which would be 0.08% of a fifty cent transaction.
