Should there be Cash blocks in Scratch?
No support, money-related things have no place in a free programming language for kids. This would cause no end of additional work for the ST, and there aren't any “benefits” other than “yay now i can tell four-year-olds to give me money!!!11!!”.

Should there be Cash blocks in Scratch?
No Support, money shouldn't be in a free program. Many children don't have PayPal, and I could just ask for $10000000000000000000000. Even if you did have that much money, I could put it in a forever loop.

The Scratch team asked me to remove my bitcoin donation address from my signature a while ago, so I'm pretty sure the Scratch team doesn't like the idea of optional donations.
No I don't make projects anymore. I left some time ago.
I only check the forums every now and then, but other than that consider me retired.

No support, this system could be easily abused:
Someone tricks people into giving them money by saying it is for a good cause
Someone puts it in a forever loop
Someone does something like “If you don't pay $9999999999 you can't play my game!!”
Plus, scratch is a site for kids. Not to stereotype but children aren't very good with handling money and would probably not have their own pay-pal account.
Also, why would we need this? I don't see any use for it.

NEGATIVE INFINITE SUPPORT.

16. Digital currencyor not.
Digital currency might be cool for some Scratchers but can cause problems such as competition and not focusing on Scratch's purpose. Scratch itself is not a game.

I think only the topic owner can report for a thread to be closed (unless the idea has been rejected by the stickies or the ST). I'm gonna report this to be closed.

If we had this, it would just turn Scratch into a money world of in-game-purchases. People don't want to pay to play a game. It would really ruin Scratch to fill it with monetization techniques. Plus, it could be abused. If people wanted to make IAPs, it would turn the entire Scratch into a money pit.

Check out Life Raft Survival, my new advanced sandbox survival game with crafting, building, transportation, weather events, tropical storms, and more!
In the game you're stranded at sea after a mysterious crash and must survive in an unforgiving tropical island environment collecting resources and crafting, in an attempt to finally be rescued.
