If this was a stupid idea, please close this and accept my apologies.\r\n\r\nMy question is the following: I would like to support Crystal with a monthly donation. **Is there an alternative way of doing this besides going through BountySource?**\r\n\r\nMy reason for asking this question is that my experience with BountySource so far has not been great. A short summary:\r\n\r\n- Signing up via GitHub failed with some error message I unfortunately did not record\r\n- Signing up via Twitter asked me for my email address, then gave me an error that my email was already in use (possibly an artifact of my previous attempt at signing up through GitHub)\r\n- I eventually gained access to my account through BountySource's **password recovery**\r\n- Setting up a $10/month donation for Crystal gave me a **meaningless error message** (\"Validation failed: Active support levels count Can't modify active rewards\"), but only _after_ authorizing with PayPal\r\n- Two more attempts at setting up a $10/month subscription had the same result\r\n- The next day, **I see a $30 charge from BountySource**. Lo and behold, they did, in fact, set up three separate $10/month subscriptions.\r\n- The UI for cancelling these subscriptions is broken (the submit button doesn't close the modal), but fortunately, the actual cancellation works.\r\n\r\nI know these are bugs with BountySource and not Crystal (and I've raised them with BountySource in my [slightly angry rant on Twitter](https://twitter.com/hmans/status/991324634695061504)), but at this point, I simply don't trust BountySource enough for _any_ kind of transaction.\r\n\r\nI'd like to put $25/month into Crystal. I don't need a listing on Crystal's supporters page, but I would receive some sort of receipt (something that BountySource also appears to not be doing?), and I don't want to go through a platform I don't trust. What are my options?\r\n\r\n_(FWIW, I'm supporting a number of open source projects though [OpenCollective](https://opencollective.com/), which has been a good experience so far. They even send receipts.)_"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/comments/402682992","html_url":"https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/6051#issuecomment-402682992","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/6051","id":402682992,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQwMjY4Mjk5Mg==","user":{"login":"bcardiff","id":459923,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjQ1OTkyMw==","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/459923?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff","html_url":"https://github.com/bcardiff","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bcardiff/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-07-05T10:46:30Z","updated_at":"2018-07-05T10:46:30Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"@felixbuenemann I think that is the old link that changed on BS side.
