The least expensive Coin purchase option will be 5000 Coins for $4.99. However from there, the more Coins you buy the bigger discount you'll get.
From the start, Tapas Media's mission has always been about supporting other creators and giving people of all skill levels and experience ways to help support themselves...and Tapas has a lot of things planned for that.
But the best way we'll have at launch is for people to buy at least $4.99 of Coins and spend them on Keys to unlock the premium content of their favorite creators. That will be the easiest and most effective way.
This will help your favorite artists in the most direct way possible because Tapas Media will pay artists and authors in the Key program based on the number of Keys purchased for their content each month.
You can kind of think of it like this: The more Coins you buy the more you support Tapas Media and our ability to keep doing what we're doing. The more Keys you buy with those Coins the more you're supporting the specific creators whose Keys you buy.
And for those who don't have extra money to spend we'll have a way they can earn Coins too! This will be done by having an option to watch a video ad and earn Coins right away. The video ad views don't pay all that much so viewers will most likely get 10 or 20 Coins per view, but it was important to us to be able to find a way for everyone to be able to get at least some Coins.
