Establish darknet presence immediately. Put the Tor & I2P addresses on the website so we bookmark them. This way even if all hosting and registrars boot you from clearnet, you can still maintain a constant address. This allows you to run the site from wherever without revealing your hosting IP, even if it's from your bedroom. I actually used to do that. For a small chan it works fine.

As for how to janny darknet posting (since you won't be able to IP ban), look at how Kohlchan does it with their proof of work thing. I would ease the difficulty though. Alternatively, you could develop something where a small Monero payment worth $0.01 ~ 0.05 can grant a posting token kinda like 4chan Pass. It's important to keep the costs very low though or nobody will pay.

Monero. Don't even bother with normie crowdfunding or payment processors. It's totally fucked.
