Software development is changing, I see a future where people work on their own projects and are funded by those who use it (wishful thinking). I want to create a list of places people can get funding for their projects.
- [nlnet](https://nlnet.nl)
- [Github Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors) - [What’s their fee?]
- [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com) - [They take 8-12% of your earnings monthly]
## Payment Processing
- [Stripe](https://stripe.com) - [fee?]

Two others I’ve seen are [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/) and [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/).

It would be great if the likes of Google not only payed for exploit fixes (bug bounties) but also payed to replace vulnerable code with a version in a safer language. I guess performance differences might be an issue.
