Thank you!

Slightly off-topic, but I wish more OSS projects and maintainers would advertise cryptocurrency donation addresses. It's probably the easiest way for end users to donate.
- DauntingPear7 7mo agoWhat’s wrong with ko-fi?
- geerlingguy 7mo agoI have done that for years, and so far have received the equivalent of $25 (through three mBTC transactions) on my Bitcoin address, and maybe $90 through whatever the token is Brave uses (BAT?). I still get random donations through an old PayPal email address that's listed on the same page as my bitcoin address, and that totals more like $100 (a year, not over the lifetime).

- jonchurch_ 7mo agoHey, thank you kind strangers who sent me some money. I appreciate it! <3
- simonbw 7mo agoSurely the easiest way is something like a PayPal/venmo link, no? I know a lot more people who use those than crypto.
- LtWorf 7mo agoPaypal banned my account the instant someone did donate to me. I suggest stripe.
- LtWorf 7mo agoWhy would cryptocurrency be the easiest way to donate when nobody is using it?
