> Does it even matter? Yes, I think to me it does. How much of my money is “wasted” (which we all might define differently) does matter to me. There’s also a factor of what I receive from it. In your bread analogy, there is an exchange of money for a good (bread) received. In a donation, like with OpenCV, there is no guarantee of a good received, so I care more about how my dollars are “spent” getting to the recipient. I (and many others) look at the filings of charity to understand how much goes to administrative overhead, for the same reason. > When I pay for bread with my credit card, a large portion of the price of the bread goes to the credit card company and the payment processor. Unless you are buying a single slice of bread, a large portion does not go to the credit card company. About 3% does, 5% lower than IGG fees, just like with IGG. A lot of food places around me offer a 3-5% discount for using cash and I generally choose that option if I have cash on me. People have long cared about what “middleman” is scraping money of the top of their spend. Where is your cutoff for percent taken by the processor?
