3778 :: Problems with Bounty Source: unable to make recurring donations

  I know this is a Bounty Source problem and not a Nim problem, but I thought I would share here anyway as the Nim community is probably more responsive than Bounty Source lol.

  I set up a Bounty Source account to contribute to Nim monthly, but seems to have only taken a one time donation.

  I almost didn't notice as I usually leave these things on auto-pilot, but I was perusing my Paypal statements for an unrelated reason and noticed the anomaly.

  When I went to check my donation settings in Bounty Source I was unable to modify my payment settings at all. I kept getting errors. I was finally able to cancel the donation after some effort.

  I could try to set up a new donation, but if the software is that buggy it makes me wary of sending money through them. Also they just were bought by another company that does not seem to have good tech support....

  Do the Nim core devs have a preference of donation platform?

  I see direct Paypal donation as an option on the site. I think I may use that instead.

  Same issue for me. March payment was processed but not April's.

  Opencollective is also an option. (Got issues with Bounty Source too)

  You should put the problem you are describing in the title.

  Personally, I prefer to donate to people in person without the help of platforms. I don't really trust outlets that pretend to be charity companies. Most of them are just schemes that steal people's money. The best way to donate is when you help a poor person who has come to the street. However, not all companies with harmful intentions, such as differents platforms, actually do charity events. I am currently part of a charity team, and we help street people and try to bring a bit of color to dark and bitter lives.
