Has that changed? shouldn't we talk about it first? I can now provide solid information on this: * The site lists the support per month. Minimum is 5$, but it can be split over several months. https://www.bountysource.com/teams/freenet * It accepts PayPal, Bitcoin (though not listed) and Credit Card. * we can disable bounties and only use monthly payment by simply not letting others suggest bounties. That’s what I did. * There are two existing issues. The only way I found to remove them I wrote a description which I hope makes this clear: > Why Bountysource? > Freenet has been primarily financed by donations since 2000.

Did we have other issues with it which aren’t addressed? If it’s not beneficial, I’m perfectly fine with removing it again.
