95% of my security research is not paid. I fix gems, libraries, websites etc. Donated money go right there, through beers and coffee I need.

Perhaps you could clarify that part in your future posts, to appease the Internet haters on both sides. "I do paid contract work. However I also spend lots of time fixing open source stuff for free. If you want to encourage me to keep doing the latter, here's how to donate."

Agreed. If it had said that, I'd not have been concerned by it in the first place.

This makes sense then for sure.

You are giving people that you have helped an opportunity to pay you without having any kind of contract with them.

Nothing wrong with that at all.
