Online payments have been one of the major applications of the web since the rise of usage of the internet by the general public in the early 1990s – earlier implementations were naturally a lot cruder. Later on, superior payment systems like PayPal and Stripe came along and offered developers ways to facilitate payments.
Another huge wave followed after that – cryptocurrency. Many people had been trying to create popular digital currencies for years – most notably was Nick Szabo with his early efforts in the 1990s. In 2009, blockchain-based currencies were create and later Ethereum, which comes out of the box with smart contracts, was created. Not only is the Ethereum platform advanced, it is also versatile in that it comes with Web3 that can be injected into a web application’s instance to facilitate Ethereum transactions.
Javascript has become a mature language that is capable of doing things that had long been ascribed to compiled programming languages – this maturity has given leeway to create better products.
WordPress is now running on 30% of all websites – in a way, it has become a kind of web operating system. This means that it has become unavoidable and thinking about creating new products and dedicated implementations of existing products for WordPress is imperative.
The combination of better payments technology, cryptocurrencies, mature Javascript and a web dominated by a very powerful WordPress was fertile soil to create Spreebie Bartner – a completely new paradigm in online payment.
This plugin requires Metamask to work.
THIRD PARTY SERVICE NOTE: When making donations to the author of this plugin, a third party service called Firebase (https://firebase.google.com/) is used to store donator names and emails. A donator can choose to donate anonymously so that their name and email are not stored. This third party service on this plugin ONLY works with donations to the author – the rest of the plugin functions without it.
Another third party service used is CoinMarketCap (https://api.coinmarketcap.com) – this is used to get Ethereum price information for different currencies. There is no storage that happens with this service.

The CardanoPress Governance plugin allows projects to engage with their users by allowing them to cast votes on-chain. 
For any decentralised autonomous organisation, this is a must. The Governance plugins will allow you to write and 
publish proposals, allow you to set up the parameters around voting power and view historic proposals and their results.
This plugin requires the parent plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cardanopress/" rel="ugc">CardanoPress</a> and a free account with <a href="http://bit.ly/3W90KDd" rel="nofollow ugc">Blockfrost</a> to be able to talk to the Cardano blockchain.
The plugin is created by the team at <a href="https://pbwebdev.com" rel="nofollow ugc">PB Web Development</a>.
You can find out more information about CardanoPress and our blockchain integrations at <a href="https://cardanopress.io" rel="nofollow ugc">CardanoPress.io</a>.
<h4>Example Use Cases</h4>
For projects that have a fungible token, you can configure the plugin to take into account the balance of that token in 
a users connected wallet. For each proposal that is listed on the website, you can define the voting power requirements 
and snapshot time and date. This will allow users to move assets to their wallets in time for a voting power snapshot.
Users of the project can then case their vote but sending a transaction to their own wallet with a special unique 
decimal value. This value is recorded on chain along with some corresponding metadata to help identify the proposal and 
the voting decision by the wallet owner on that proposal.
The same scenario can be setup but with a non-fungible token and the amount of NFTs in a user’s wallet be used as the 
voting power.
