   _ck_, do you accept paypal? You only have an amazon page and I don't use that (nor credit cards online).

   Would like to appreciate you for the plugins you did

   I don't use PayPal because of numerous complaints about them and a lack of privacy with their service. However you can use the built-in PayPal virtual debit card to pay Amazon Honor without additional charges.

   First sign into your PayPal account and then go to this URL:
   https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_vdc-hub
   Click Secure Cards in the middle-left under Plug-in home.
   You do NOT have to install their plugin, it works without it.
   Just click on Generate Card on the final page.

   It will allow you to make temporary, single use credit card numbers for free, directly from PayPal. It's supposed to work on any kind of PayPal account, even personal accounts.

   Okay, that link didn't work but after a lot of searching, I finally found some meaningful information (here). This won't work for me because the Paypal Plug-in that they require only works in US and on Windows.

   :\

   You don't actually have to install the plugin, the link works with any OS
   (the link is the same one the plugin uses and it works without it).

   But I didn't know about the USA only thing, sorry.

   I appreciate the thought though!

   ps. Hey what happens if you leave the /us/ part out?
   ie. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_vdc-hub
   Then click on "Secure Cards" in light grey under "Plug-in home"
   (remember to sign into PayPal first)

   Doesn't work. I don't even see a "Plug-in home" option.

   There currently is no donation method until I figure out an alternative to Amazon which closed their system (and trying to find PayPal alternative).

   What don't you like about paypal anyway? :p
   It's super easy to donate to anyone and is used by nearly everybody.

   PayPal has zero privacy and readily gives out all your info to anyone.

    Hi _ck_, I wanted to throw a donation your way via Amazon, but the Amazon honor system is now defunct. I really appreciate your work on bbpress and the plugins.
