Can money be the only moderator of a forum?

It needs to run a Monero node and/or connect to a host node for deriving the key addresses and secrets for each user (giving them a personal integrated wallet).

Then I think a poller, a ledger table, and a plugin exposing a tip button in the post menu, a wallet page, and settings can make it done.

Honestly, I don’t know how specifically it can be integrated because I’m not a developer, but I know that the Monero community could give support if I really set out to do it. For now, I’m in the preliminary steps, where I hope to have initial support from what I’m personally starting, and we will continue in our community.

There are a few open-source projects that reach something close, not integrated in Discourse, but you can check this out if you want:
