    Nowadays I tend to only donate to projects that have full transparency on what the money is being used for.

    If you believe he’s spending $5k/mo to run the server, even if you send him $20 and he blows it on blackjack and hookers, it means he has to spend $20 of his bj/h money on the server. So I don’t really see an issue. Does that make sense?

      The transparency is needed to know if the server is actually costing $5000

      Not that the server cost only $500 and the rest go to cocaine and hookers

      I don’t need to keep track of my bill precisely, what I want is budget transparency.

        If somebody says it costs $5000/mo, how could they say it in a different way that you would define as “transparent” - do you want receipts?
