Gratipay

Gratipay was a website for sharing money, used primarily as a way to support writers of free software. On December 29, 2017 gratipay.com switched to a static webpage and no longer accepts new accounts or payments. Sudoroom has an account, and it's the way many people donate money to us. Here's how:
