One-off donations

Sorry to post this here, but I just wanted to ask where to make one-off donations to Retroarch? I intend to make them as frequently as I can but did not wish to commit to monthly payments in case of financial issues. Many thanks.

Probably the easiest way to handle that would be to pitch in on a bounty you would like to support. Otherwise, it seems the only way to do it via Patreon is to pledge an ongoing one and then delete the pledge once itā€™s charged, which is a dumb hassle.

We might be able to setup a coinbase for bitcoins. Would that be an option?

I thought you can d on off payments with patreon?

shrug, maybe! I just googled the issue and one of the results was a doc by Patreon that said theyā€™d considered it but rejected it because their goal is longer-term support for creators. They may have changed that stance at some point, though.

I think your probably right

Thanks for your replies people, but no matter. Iā€™m going to enter your Patreon. Sorry for the fuss. :slight_smile:

You can make a one-off donation to libretro via BountySource without having to put money on a specific bounty.

  1. Visit this page: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/libretro
  2. At the top right there is a box with a button labelled ā€œSupport libretroā€ that takes you to the donation page: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/libretro

I thought you might be interested @Twinaphex @hunterk

Well, I made a new ā€˜donationā€™ page on the RetroArch website.

http://retroarch.com/index.php?page=donate

It lists all the available ways of contributing - Patreon, donating directly to our Bountysource bucket, and also a third new option, donating via Bitcoin, for the people that would like to do that, for instance if you just want to ā€˜one-off donateā€™ instead of these recurring donations on Patreon which might drive some people away.
