Nice! Do you know how much of a cut Flattr takes? Wikipedia suggests 10%, which is just too much.

Hey, EFF, if you ever read this: An option for being sent an email monthly with a link to a one-click payment of the same amount as last month would get people like me donating!



I've read 10% too, yes.

I don't think that's too much though. It's not just a tool to donate, they provide the infrastructure for an alternative model to earning a living online. Their approach replaces the incentive to create artificial scarcity by an incentive to share. I would love to live in a society that worked like this.

Try to put some credit on a flattr account and donate to a few projects you like, I think you will get a better feel of what I meant. : )


> which is just too much.

Compared to what? Surely the competition?

For micropayments they're cheap.
