donate to cadence

why donate?

I have spent a lot of time creating a lot of things. I don't want to exclude people based on their ability to pay, so all of my work is free for everybody to use and enjoy. However, this means that I haven't been paid for the time and effort I've spent to create these things.

Therefore, I ask for donations, so that people who are able to pay can do so.

I currently have no income and am living off savings.

how much?

Whatever you feel my labour is worth.

If you want to know how much my work costs me, here's the breakdown:

Out Of Your Element

$13 NZD ($7 USD) per month for the servers, plus several hundred hours of my work

CloudTube

$11 NZD ($6 USD) per month for the servers, plus hundreds of hours of my work

BreezeWiki

$11 NZD ($6 USD) per month for the servers, plus around 200 hours of my work

send me money

Bank transfer

Ask me for my bank account number. If you're in New Zealand, you can transfer directly. Elsewhere in the world, you'll have to use some third-party service such as Wise. Last time someone used Wise there were no fees.

PayPal and the other apps

I haven't registered to use any of those money apps yet, but if you ask, I'll go ahead and do that. How bad could it be!

Gift cards

Otherwise, you could buy me a gift card for something that I like. That's basically like giving me cash, because I was going to buy that thing anyway.

Here's a list of companies that you can get gift cards for:

Hell Pizza

Video games

Music
