Donating to ProleWiki

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia
Revision as of 02:20, 19 February 2023 by CriticalResist (talk | contribs) (re added liberapay)

This page will be used to list various ways you can donate to ProleWiki to pay for the basic hosting costs, and with whatever surplus we come up with, we can democratically decide what to do with it.

Please use the discussion page to add ideas of other ways ProleWiki could accept donations.

Financial movements will be updated on the bottom of this page.

Donation methods

These are sorted by most recommended first.

Recurring payments

Liberapay

Liberapay is similar to Patreon, but it allows donators more control over their spending (choosing their amount as well as a weekly or monthly donation) and respects privacy. As such, we recommend it over Patreon.

Patreon

Patreon is easy to use, but since it's closed source and US-based, we might risk becoming de-platformed for ideological reasons. But please support us there while you can!

One time transactions

Stripe

We have a Stripe account to process donations made through Patreon. Through this widget, you can make a pay-what-you-want donation (recommended amount is 10 USD) to ProleWiki. Links below redirect to Stripe's secure pages:

Can't see your currency? Contact the admins (CriticalResist or Forte) and ask to have your currency made available! We are available on Twitter as well, or Lemmygrad.

US Dollar (USD)

Euro (EUR)

Canadian Dollar (CAD)

Chinese Yuan (CNY)

Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

British Pound (GBP)

Russian rouble (RUB)

Japanese Yen (JPY)

Vietnamese Đồng (VND)

Turkish Lira (TRY)

Indian Rupee (INR)

Pix

Pix is a direct payment processor found in Brasil. With it, you can make donations in Brazilian Real (BRL) directly without fees. This is the random key to send it to:

PayPal

Cryptocurrencies

Monero

Monero is a privacy cryptocurrency, which is is used to keep donors anonymous.

Donation address:

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a little less anonymous if you're not careful,[1] so donate at your own risk. Due to Bitcoin's transparency, anyone is able to verify how much is in the wallet.

Donation address:

You can verify this address and its transaction activity here. Again, donors' addresses are publicly visible on the blockchain, so if you'd like to avoid that, please use Monero.
