    people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.

    you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.

    if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

      They could even donate and post a screenshot of their receipt in the name of whatever user as a thank you to them.

        that would be a really cool trend to start

        well, it would be very geeky, but still cool
