@Edent Maybe via Ko-Fi or Patreon, but I also wish that I had managed to make better micropayments work when I was doing #fintech!

@DamonHD Kofi is just PayPal on the back end, right? I never quite got what the point of it was.

@Edent I think that I have made payments via Ko-Fi other than with PayPal, but I can't pinky swear.

IMHO, a point of Ko-Fi is that it is a meeting place, and that you don't need to exchange eg bank details with all counterparties, though the difference between that and (say) PP is maybe not huge.
