I do rely on Wireguard for some personal projects and I can spare a few bucks. However the reality is I can't get to $15/month the minimum tier. I rely on thousands of opensource projects.
Upstreaming should help my arguments for adoption at work; they wouldn't think twice.
- Monory 7y agoYou can support on Patreon for less than the minimum tier. It is just the cut-off over which the rewards (such as stickers here) are given. Support for just $1! He'll still get it!
- ZiiS 7y agoThank you, they could make this clearer.
- sundarurfriend 7y agoI didn't know this either. I guess that's why many projects have a fake $1 tier with just "the pleasure of knowing you contributed" or something like that as the "reward" for that tier. To let people know that that's still an option.
- lukevp 7y agoI agree, I would have signed up for a $1 tier or perhaps $2 but $15 is far too high for the minimum tier. I support the Zig author for $1/mo and hope others would do the same for my open source projects in the future.
- acqq 7y agoApart from knowing that 15 USD monthly is not a minimum possible donation there, please see other possibilities to donate on the official link for donations (also posted here). Patreon is only one of the options.
- ldoughty 7y agoIf you go to wireguards donation page, you can make a one-time donation too.
- kragen 7y agoThe minimum donation in Bitcoin is probably about US$0.01. Anyway that's what I've paid in transaction fees the last few times I made a donation where I didn't care how long it would take. (They were confirmed within a few hours.) Transaction fees for within-the-hour confirmation are around US$0.20.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoDon't let "it's not enough" stop you. Make a one time payment of what you can afford within reason. They don't expect you to put yourself out.
