We are ready to donate. Unfortunately, none of the options work: Only credit card or bank wire transfer are accepted.

Arathorn, neiljohnson, thibaultmartin: Could you please provide an option for private and anonymous donations? Throw up a BTC address at least. (For even better exposure while keeping volatility, risk, and overhead at bay, I guess also USDT on SOL+ETH alongside XMR as stretch would be fancy. That USDT would get you access to memecoin gains without having to touch them even with a stick)

Or if you're really feeling prevented from accepting anonymous donations: add a fourth payment integration with a provider who can accept and convert it for you without requiring non-zk KYC on the donor side?

I think the Donate page may need a rework. Listing only Donorbox and then Other Options at the top adds unnecessary resistance. I have never heard of Donorbox, I have to click again to see what other options there are. Ok, click. There's also Patreon (which means ongoing donation in my mind) and Librepay (which I've heard of but never used... and is apparently also ongoing donations weekly/monthly/etc). Can't I just use a credit card or PayPal to make a one time donation for instance? After playing around, it seems you can but you have to click DonorBox and then change it to one time.

Having a preferred way of donating is great. But most folks who donate just want to give you money. They don't care about whatever service you're using or how much it costs you. I like you, I have some money to give you, make it as friction free as possible.

Organize it by how people want to pay (credit card, wire transfer, crypto, etc) and if they want to make it one time or recurring.

As an example assume you're a user wanting to make a one-time Euro donation via wire transfer. Ignoring the design (which is long overdue for an update) follow the path on my donation page for my open source project: https://portableapps.com/donate

May also make sense to separate out Sponsors from the Donate page since they're kinda separate groups.

That removes nothing from the rest of your comment but note that you can actually make a one time payment with liberapay, and I believe patreon too.

Thanks for the feedback. The website is long overdue an update, and the donation page is part of it. I'm factoring it in the requests I'm making to designers.

https://matrix.org/docs/older/faq/ has our BTC and ETH addresses:

Bitcoin (address: 1LxowEgsquZ3UPZ68wHf8v2MDZw82dVmAE) Ethereum (address: 0xA5f9a4f9E024F6D727f7afdA9257e22329A97485)

Thank you for being up for supporting - it is very much appreciated!

That's encouraging, thank you for still keeping lights on. Will make sure to follow up.

FWIW, I did do a cursory look around and search before posting GP and still didn't find those. Might do you well to make those if not prominent then at least discoverable from CTAs.

Please see my parallel reply to the parent about some Donate page suggestions. I think your page is getting in the way of people giving you money.
