We're currently reassessing how want to handle project donations in the future.


The current favourite way to help diaspora* development with money is to use the [https://www.bountysource.com/teams/diaspora Bounty Source plateform]. This platform allows you to put money directly on tasks (github issues). When a developer writes the code filling the task (fixing the issue) and its work is accepted by the diaspora* core team, he then get the money attached to the issue on bountysource.

That means you are now the ones driving the priorities of the diaspora* project! Of course, if you don't have a specific issue in mind, you can give money to the diaspora* team directly and we will attach it ourselves depending on our priorities.

Some of the volunteers who are working on diaspora* have accounts on a donation platform called Liberapay. It's a patreon-like website but its free software and with minimum fees.
If you want to support directly a person, you can give him money there.

You want to help diaspora* by giving a few bucks? Awesome!

The pod administrators are the ones who make the diaspora* network alive. But each node has a cost. To help your podmin keep the server up and running, you can make a donation.

You can there choose the donation system you prefer between those made available by you podmin. The diaspora* software allows to set Paypal, Liberapay and Bitcoin donations.

diaspora* is developed by volunteers. You can still make donations to show your interest and encourage them to invest more time in diaspora* development.

We're currently reassessing how want to handle project donations in the future.
