Ideally we would like to see everyone that uses thirty bees just donate $1 to these crowdfunding campaigns. If everyone did, it would only take less than 20% of the users to fund it. I don't want users to feel pressured to donate to thirty bees though. Its like in America, tipping is optional, but its not really optional. We don't want to be free and open source, but not really free and open source.
We want to make software so awesome people use it, make a ton of money from it, and say hey, let me help these guys out. The more money that thirty bees brings in, the more we can stay in the forum and help users by answering questions. The quicker we can fix bugs in the software. The more time we can just spend working on thirty bees.
We are just normal guys everyone in our community. We all love working on e-commerce and making cool things with it. Lets keep things civil here and don't point fingers or call people out. Everyone has their own reasons for donating or not donating to thirty bees.
