That’s about as much as I can do because 1.) I’m broke
I bet you could spare a dime though. Maybe even a dollar. I’m not being facetious, I’ve been broke too.
Here’s the thing: there are lots of people in similar situations, and there’s no good way (that I can find) for them to send a dime. Dimes add up, but not if rapacious greedbags like PayPal suck down 30% in fees. PayPal and Amazon Honor suck for small amounts: 2.9% + $0.30, which is 33% of the first dollar. BitPass is 15% up to $5, then 5% + $0.50. It’s that first dime I keep thinking about, how many people can and would send a dime or a dollar if there were a convenient mechanism that allowed them to do so and didn’t eat their donation in fees. (Yes, 15% is too much.)
I’m still looking for solutions, but this seemed like a reasonable place to ask: does anyone know of something I’ve missed, that would work for collecting small payments/donations?
