As I said in the last thread, the author could use support: https://www.patreon.com/join/bcachefs

This has been a solitary and largely self-financed effort by Kent over many years. He must feel pretty great to finally see this happen!

When I became a supporter yesterday, the average was under $10 per supporter per month. There's no shame in being a small supporter.

Edit: I currently see 279 supporters for a total of $2,328 per month, so $8.34 average per month per supporter.

It's currently 428 @ $2382, $5.5/per.

The pre-populated options are $20 and $100 a month, which is a lot. I think he'd get a lot more supporters if he dropped those asks to more like $1 and $5.

Its not like that more people will pay with $1. most probably the same amount will pay but he‘ll just get only 10% of the funding.

Huh 10%???

[KMag]

I should have said "paid members" instead of "supporters" to be more precise. He's currently at 432 members, but of those only 283 are paid members.

Either way, $5 is probably both the median and the mode for the payment distribution, whether you include non-paying members or not.

I can't even see the pay what you like feature on the app.

[KMag]

Not sure about the app, but on the website, it was below the tiers. On my laptop screen, the pay-what-you-like option was below the fold.

I used to support him for $1/month previously, I think it was a specific tier.

From memory I stopped because I was adding other creators and I got the impression he was doing okay.
