Support the main developers with patreon.com #393

Closed eliabieri closed 9 years ago

It would be nice if the main developers could set up a patreon account, so I and mybe others can support them financially. I see theres a lot of work to do and maybe theres just not enough time to raise money for their lives and invest much time in this awesome project. What do you think?

@eliabieri Eilia, I think that Patreon is the wrong way to go -- it's too specific a funding vehicle and not addressing this usecase. However, it the nodeMCU site were to include an adhoc PayPal payment link then I for one would give them a donation. Alternative, just remember that they do sell product and by buying one or more of their Dev kits, you are funding them indirectly.

I second the motion for the ad hoc paypal donation button idea.

@drv53b6, IMO this list is for raising bugs / issues which directly relate to the NodeMCU firmware. It is not a forum for end-developer support, and it is not for begging.

@TerryE иди нафиг со своим форумом со своими спонсорами
