Hi!
- What are people's thoughts about new
payment processing solutions?
We've
gotten some notices from gratipay that
they've fixed their issues, but
that
we'll have to re-apply as a "team".
We *could* roll our own stripe
system,
but in my experience using stripe to charge
credit cards is easy, but
properly managing recurring payments is not that easy. I personally would
prefer to continue to allow a third-party to do that work.
Why not use Flattr?
It allows both single donations (one click on a button) and subscription
(double click on a button).

Founded by one of PirateBay people.
You could also ask FSF for source to their donation page. They really
have everything:
https://my.fsf.org/donate
We should accept as many options as possible. I recently set up sudo room
to accept credit card (stripe) and paypal, both recurring and
non-recurring. Add gratipay and bitcoin and that covers most of our bases.
Flattr would be good to have. I'm also close to done with this:

The box is cut, the software is mostly written, the hardened raspberry pi
is ready to go. I'm just waiting for the knobs to arrive from china :)
