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.
Democratic intent on the excess
If you contribute to ProleWiki, you can join our Discord and democratically decide on how we spend our money. You will get the contributor role which gives you access to a specific channel without having to do vetting.
Our current strategy is to hold 2 years' worth of hosting (currently 530 USD) in a bank account expressly created for ProleWiki. After that, any excess will be discussed and voted on as for what to do with it.
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.
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:

Cryptocurrencies
Monero
Monero is a privacy cryptocurrency, which is is used to keep donors anonymous.
Donation address:
44BsTH5AVfqKrTTQjLsSwoTUv6iNYqaj8hEqUdmrKFbf23AqxYTRKsg1mphJXbMADS8oqdWnfrdi5USC2Sph7jb5VaiJYyt
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:
bc1q8k83tj80rfes007k7juxm3rzhyvyx3dnn90fx9
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.
