I'm wondering if we should have a new donation thread on a release basis. The latest release being kept sticky. Thoughs?
 
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the developers/recipients could always share a bitcoin wallet address, which would make payment much easier and avoid any taker's fees etc.
 
I decided to set up a small, but recurring monthly donation. I have been using DD-WRT, OpenWrt, Merlin… But it’s the FreshTomato that’s in some ways the coolest of them all. Continue the great work, Piotr.

On behalf of the project, thank you so much! If 10% of the FT users could donate even $1/month as a recurring payment, I'm sure we could get more resources to deliver!

BTW I have modified the poll in the OP here to allow users to specify the "recurring" option if that's what they go for.
 
One thing about small recurring notations: the way that Paypal works, they take a flat fee + a certain percentage out of every donation. For us developers, the difference between receiving $5 or 5 x $1 is pretty significative, as they will retain five times that flat fee. Out of $1, I get to keep around 65 cents (so, $3.25 in total), versus around $4.50 out of $5.

Thank you, Eric, for pointing this out. Happy to change my recurring donation to quarterly for the combined 3-monthly amount. However, after checking on PayPal, it looks like it’s the recipient of the donations who has to make this option available. At the moment the only option for FreshTomato is monthly.
