By the way, Paypal is the most widely used paypent processor, but also
the most expensive.

Well, in the open social networking space, sure.
There's all sorts of traditional commercial processors such as:

Back to the Kickstarter idea, while I fully understand and agree with most of
your points, my thought was one of publicly creating awareness of need.
Whatever the appropriate platform, I really think it needs to move in that
direction.
Let's hypothesize for a moment that a suitable basic

Well, assuming that it is only a technically-minded userbase that installs Tor,
then maybe! Do you guys have any sense of whether or not that's actually true?

This is not an entrepreneurial proposition all. I'm merely talking about
exposing the end-users to the financial realities of operating the service, and
inviting them to help in a more obvious way. I'm NOT suggesting blatant

So long as more nodes come online, and those nodes have proper family
statements, particularly regarding physical/geopolitical location...
I don't really see any problem with any form of organization doing
this. For profit or not.
Nor any problem with any level of transparency. From open books
Hi,
I was asked by mail if I was interested in $5 a month. To make that one
clear: Yes, I am! I want to fund a node. Depending on the number of
people, amounts of money, wishes for services, I will try to find the
best suitable hoster. The three posted were just examples of what I have
in mind.

If you look closely, at the bottom of the page a pie says what the money
is used for.
Basically, torproject donations are used for development.

Kickstarter has three disadvantages:
