Edit: After seeing the bandwagon, dogpiling reaction from the community for simply trying to donate, I wont bother donating to this project even if they support cryptocurrencies.

Good job, assholes.

      That is unfortunate.

      Hopefully they decide to support cryptocurrencies in the future so I can donate to them.

        It’s possible to transfer funds out of crypto. As long as you aren’t on the wrong end of the constant rug pulls. However your phrasing is oddly passive aggressive.

        If you want to donate. Donate. If them not wanting to deal with the hassle of, or something with the horrible reputation of crypto. Is excuse for you not to. You likely never wanted to. 🤷

          What the heck? There was nothing “passive aggressive” about it.

          If Godot accepted cryptocurrencies I use, then I would donate to them. It really is that simple. It doesn’t cost them anything to accept cryptocurrencies.

          I don’t know why you’re being passive aggressive, when the entire point of this thread is to encourage more ways to support development.

          I’m gonna ignore you now, because honestly I don’t have time for this kind of nonsense anymore. You’re doing your part to make sure Godot has less money.

            Crypto currency is inconvenient for normal people. You have to set up a a special wallet you don’t already have. Which takes time and effort. Which costs money. In order to do anything with it. Most people would have to translate it to actual currency to be very useful. Which again, costs time and effort. Which costs money.

            If someone had a go-fund me for medical debt. And you told them you would have donated. But they don’t accept funko-pops. It wouldn’t be much different. Or donating your old car to a food bank. It’s a lot of unnecessary hassle. Which diminishes returns.

            Between the passive aggression and the projection. It’s clear your more focused on evangelizing crypto currency. Which most people have no use for. It’s good to have a hobby. It’s immature to act upset when others tell you they don’t want to participate in it.

    No-where in the Community Sidebar is it stated or implied that the Godot project is officially tied to this community or its members in any way, so your edit is petty and stupid, even though I agree downvotes you’ve recieved suck. Calling your arguments with a total of three commenters “dog-piling” or a “bandwagon” is pretty outlandish as well.

    Yeah, welcome to Lemmy. Personally, I believe that any donation matters. And if you wish to use crypto currency for that it’s a completely legitimate thing to ask for. They couldn’t have the option and that’s totally their choice 🤷🏻‍♂️

    However, I see no harm in asking for it politely.

      Hey man, when you’re older you’ll realize why it’s a good idea to make it as easy as possible for people to give you their money.

      I’m just gonna ignore you until that happens.
