Any good crowdfunding platform?

Post by sadko4u »

Hi folks!

After some troubles with Bountysource, I finally get my crowdfunded money not possible to cash out:
https://github.com/bountysource/core/issues/1553

This is not the first and, I think, not the last problem with Bountysource.
I'm currently thinking on leaving this crowdfunding platform.

I know, there are some ways to submit donations:
- Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/sadko4u
- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sadko4u
- Paypal as direct donation service: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sadko4u
- or even an Ethereum pocket: https://etherscan.io/address/0x079b24da ... d554606cc6

But all of them are not exactly what I understand as a good tool.
For example, Liberapay accepts the regular donation but performs a one-time payment for the whole period of subscription. This is not very predictable and I can not plan the income for each month.
Patreon looks like a good crowdfunding platform for content makers but not developers.
Paypal direct is good but not all people have Paypal.
Ethereum is also good but not many people use it.

So I'm looking for different crowfunding platforms for developers.
