In today's blog entry, I discuss why I have changed the
link for making MaraDNS
donations, and discuss the two ways MaraDNS users can contribute.
PayPal is not the most friendly company for processing donations for open-source projects. Ever since the Diaspora PayPal incident and the Regretsy PayPal incident, I have been looking for a viable PayPal alternative. I have now found one.
My good friend Sean Lynch pointed me to WePay. I am now using WePay for accepting donations for MaraDNS. Donations are completely voluntary and I currently do not sell extended technical support or any other MaraDNS-related services.
Students, teachers, retired and other people on fixed incomes, or plain old cheapskates who do not want to make a $25 WePay donation can make a Flattr donation instead. Yes, I would prefer a WePay donation. But I have also opened up a Flattr account so that more people can donate, irregardless [1] of their income.
Since MaraDNS is an open-source project, all donations are of course optional. However, donations are the best way for MaraDNS users to show their appreciation for all of the hard work I have done making MaraDNS and the work I continue to do maintaining MaraDNS.
Adios PayPal

If you would prefer to make a smaller donation
