Wallet & Landmark Coins
Your Landmark wallet holds Landmark Coins. The credit that pays for usage-based products like the Landmark Camera. One coin is worth one US cent (1 LMC = 1¢), so a $10 top-up is 1,000 coins.
What the wallet is for
Some products bill by usage rather than per tip. For example the Landmark Camera at $0.03 per second. That usage is drawn from your wallet. Your earnings (tips, and other revenue) also land here, so the wallet is both where money comes in and where usage is spent from.
Topping up
Buy coins from the Wallet page through Stripe Checkout. You can pick a preset pack or enter a custom amount (from 100 up to 100,000 coins).
The price is a little above face value. A small markup that covers Stripe's card-processing fee so the full coin amount lands in your wallet. Your first top-up gets a 10% bonus in coins.
After checkout, the balance updates as soon as Stripe confirms the payment (usually a couple of seconds). If it hasn't appeared after a minute, refresh. The confirmation webhook can lag.
The transaction ledger
Every change to your balance is recorded, newest first:
- Top-up
- Coins you bought.
- Spend
- Usage drawn from the wallet (e.g. a Landmark Camera run).
- Refund
- Coins returned to your wallet. Coins you spend on a command like
$camcome back if the prompt is rejected by moderation or skipped early. Coins given as a tip support the streamer and are not refunded. - Payout
- Money you cashed out to your bank. See Payouts & billing.
- Adjustment
- A manual correction.
Repeated identical entries collapse into one row with a count you can expand.
Covering the monthly bill
Landmark usage is settled once a month, on the 20th. Your wallet balance is applied first; only the remainder is charged to your card. Keeping a balance in the wallet reduces or removes that card charge. When usage is building up this cycle, the Wallet page shows a banner with the running total and what the card would be charged today.
For how that bill is collected and how payouts work, see Payouts & billing.
Coin-only regions
Stripe cannot pay out to a bank in every country. Where it cannot, an account is coin-only. A coin-only account still buys and spends Landmark Coins normally, and direct tips it receives are always converted to Coins. Landmark Coins cannot be exchanged or paid out to a bank at this time. They can be spent in two ways only: as tips to other streamers, and as payment for Landmark usage. The Wallet page shows a banner when an account is coin-only.
