I already pretty much wrote this in a comment on the last post on this topic, but I figure this might be a bit too buried...

I'm looking into alternatives to Patreon that would allow you to set up recurring payments without those insane fees attached. I have already taken a look at librepay but am also looking at further alternatives that were recommended to me over the past couple of hours. I won't manage to do this today though (pushing 1.3.6rc3 out took longer than expected) and most likely also not over the weekend. But I'll see that I have an update for you on how we can proceed next week. And who knows, maybe - just maybe - Patreon will come to their senses. Hope dies last ;)

Some more words on possible alternatives: What might be a problem with available options is the lack of perks, which from your comments on the other post I understood are in fact important to you (hooray!). So this might be something that I have to setup manually in some way or the other and I haven't even remotely had the chance yet to even think about how this might be possible.

This whole situation was dumped on me pretty much at the same time as it was on you, so please be patient with me a bit longer while I'm looking into how best to proceed now.

Well, if I get hand on your bank account number...

Keep us posted on your changes in sub numbers. I don't really pay attention to them, so I can't tell you if they've gone down since the change. I like to support your work, and would be happy to double my sub to try and help offset any losses you see because of this.

I guess we need OctoPledge next, haha

Hi Gina, at least for Europa I think it would be perfectly fine to make an automatic monthly bank transfer. I looked at Paypal and (beside again taking fees) they don't offer something like automatic monthly transaction. This is from my point of view a "Must have"

Thanks for making these posts non-patron only since those of use that were already billed for this month and have canceled the 18th fee hike day, loose access instantly to everything.

Send ya 30USD via PayPal. Was only $0.60 in fees versus the at least $4.56 Patreon would have been for 2018.

If they decide to come to their senses, I will be back. Until then please understand that my cancelation is due to the Patreon change and not your efforts, which I commend and will find another way to support.

Nothing changes for me. Gina's work is worth it for me.

Just added my monthly pledge. I'm not a fan of the new fee structure, but I am a fan of OctoPrint and I'm hoping to offset some of the folks who had to cancel over the shakeup. Thank you, Gina, for your work and for staying connected with the community.

I am bumping my pledge up to make up for someone that may cancel - because this is important to continue.

I'll follow with support, no matter the perks. I love this project beyond words.

Regarding perk levels: I already have al the perks I need - running on my RasPi and beeing usefull every day :-)

I'm also not really here for the perks, but bank transfer is missing the back channel for communications like the ones we had in the past about Hangouts, release planning, etc which I care for very much.

Thank you Patreon for pausing this change and deciding to work with the creators for a viable solution for all. Feels good to be a patron again. :)
