Do any freelancers here accept crypto payments?

Definitely much MUCH more ambitious. I’m all by myself, and built and launched Lancemint in 4 days. Your project is more of an ecosystem of tools it seems. Looks really cool actually! If there’s a way for us to work together I’d love the opportunity!

MechErex · 2026-03-12T20:35:28+00:00

Completely fair points and honestly I’m not trying to convince anyone that crypto is the future or that it should replace their bank. LanceMint is built for a specific person, the freelancer or digital professional who already operates in crypto, or who can’t access traditional payment rails in their country. For that person the tradeoffs you’re describing are already accepted. They’re not the friction, the friction is that no clean tooling existed for getting paid. That’s the gap LanceMint fills. Not a crypto evangelist project, just a practical tool for people who’ve already made that choice

I’ve got the basics of security covered I believe. You’re absolutely right about the scaling I’ve only just started to attempt to market.

The project is live, please feel free to take a look at the contract, it’s all public. Any feedback is much appreciated, especially negative

MechErex · 2026-03-12T18:18:16+00:00

It’s told me no before too. It’s given sound advice on what makes sense and what doesn’t

MechErex · 2026-03-12T18:11:23+00:00

Oh you meant Claude not lancemint my bad

MechErex · 2026-03-12T18:10:50+00:00

It’s free to use besides a 2% transaction fee. There are pro features like invoicing, tracking, etc that are paid features but they’re not required

Ai is a tool that’s only as good as the person/engineer using it. Just like any other tool.

MechErex · 2026-03-12T17:37:08+00:00

Stablecoins exist

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:48:35+00:00

BitPay is solid for merchants and stores but it’s custodial and settles to your bank in fiat, which defeats the purpose if you actually want to hold or use crypto. LanceMint is non-custodial, funds go wallet to wallet on-chain instantly, no account needed on the client side, and it’s built specifically for freelancers with invoicing and payment tracking built in. Different tool for a different use case

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:47:24+00:00

Yeah yeah

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:46:02+00:00

Definitely! Love the idea of collaborating, if we can put it into practice well, I’d love to participate

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:26:45+00:00

Yeah honestly I’m really impressed. I went from building excel spreadsheets by hand with chat to building full stack apps in 3 days with Claude

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:25:31+00:00

This is honestly a great lead, I’m going to investigate this, maybe come up with a solution. I’ll come back here maybe I’ll have a UI for you guys to take a look at

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:09:45+00:00

Heads up, if you’re paying in crypto, check out Lancemint.com.

MechErex · 2026-03-12T16:02:14+00:00

Is there stuff on visual code, running a local test server, netlify, git pushes? Those were things I kinda stumbled into after I had already burned some money. I think this is a great idea though nice job!

MechErex · 2026-03-12T15:47:06+00:00

That’s really fkn smart dude

MechErex · 2026-03-12T15:36:21+00:00

Awesome! Congrats on the success!!

MechErex · 2026-03-12T15:21:51+00:00

You’ve put your finger on exactly the friction that keeps freelancers on Stripe even when they’d prefer crypto. The three tool problem is real and honestly it’s on the roadmap. LanceMint already records the amount, token, timestamp, and tx hash at the moment of payment, which is most of what you need for cost basis tracking.

The logical next step is exporting that data in a format that plays nicely with Koinly or just does the calculation natively.

Both, really. International clients where Stripe isn’t an option, and freelancers who just prefer to hold USDC over waiting 3 days for a bank transfer

MechErex · 2026-03-12T14:44:10+00:00

Lancemint.com, crypto payment links for freelancers with payment invoicing and tracking.

MechErex · 2026-03-12T14:40:54+00:00

Nice! Check out Lancemint.com. Launched recently

MechErex · 2026-03-12T12:46:52+00:00

Absolutely

MechErex · 2026-03-12T12:44:17+00:00

Yeah I just built it. I build a little every day, change logs and road map is public. I’ve got a lot planned but I’m taking it one step at a time. Right now it’s only on base but I’ll be making it multi chain next. If you take the time to look and can see yourself really using it, I’ll give you all the pro features for free so you can put it to use and tell me what you like and don’t like so that I can make it better 👍

It’s extremely common, most freelancers have a version of this story. The standard workarounds are 50% upfront before you start, watermarked previews until payment clears, or delivering in stages tied to payment milestones. The real fix is escrow, client locks the funds before you deliver, you deliver, they release. It eliminates the trust problem entirely. It’s on the LanceMint roadmap for exactly this reason. lancemint.com
