Discovered TiddlyWiki just today, would like to contribute however I can. I do not have a PayPal account or any means of donating fiat currency, but I always have bitcoin and would like to help out whatever bit I can afford into the future as I use TiddlyWiki. Is there a bitcoin endpoint setup currently for accepting donations? The main thing is that I'm banned from PayPal and typically slack off obscenely when it comes to selling the bitcoin, banned from most major exchanges due to affiliation with an old roommate of mine, so electronic fiat is pretty difficult most of the time (have to sell on LocalBitcoins and then deposit to bank, usually only happens when bills are a month overdue)... point being that I'm not just a blockchain-thumping "why don't you accept bitcoin?" guy, but more of an "it's all I've got" situation. I get annoyed when people ask things like that, so I felt compelled to write this massive paragraph to explain.

Love the experience with TiddlyWiki, really appreciate all the effort put in even though I'm just getting going; it's really helping me to get my thoughts in line and in a format where I will probably be able to revisit cool ideas I've had sooner than the typical month it takes me to accidentally be reminded of them somehow. Notebooks never worked that well for me and my living room is absolutely saturated in "wtf" scribblings from some other month. Anyway, it's good stuff. Kudos!

I don't think there is any way to donate bitcoin to the development of tiddlywiki in general. Jeremy (the guy who created TiddlyWiki) may use bitcoin, but if he does I haven't seen anything about it.

Individual developer people may take donations, but I am not aware of anyone other than Eric Shulman and I do not know if he takes bitcoin or not (he maintains tiddlywiki classic, and is writing a book about tiddlywiki, and makes neat stuff).

I make stuff for tiddlywiki and try to maintain a reference site that has stuff (I am so very eloquent).
Recently I have been waffling about if I should ask for/accept donations for the things I make or not. I do like being able to eat and pay rent, but it seems weird to ask for something in return for things I do anyway.

I am actually very curious how people feel about this, and if anyone else is asking for or accepting donations for work they do.
