- Founder of Baqqer

I don't have a problem with self-promotion, but if you're more interested in supporting Gmane than in promoting Baqqer, it shouldn't really matter if the donation is via Baqqer, Gratipay, Patreon, a Bitcoin address, or even just a PayPal donation link.

We built Baqqer for this reason. I wanted to know if we could get them on there so we can actually help. I can't really help them set-up or maintain their presence on other sites, but on Baqqer I can instantly provide them with support, features, or even minimize fees if it helps. It's win-win.

Just a member of the HN community trying to help out how I can. :)

Edit: According to your resume you've been a contributor to Gratipay.

Totally awesome, a true philanthropist.

I can't tell if you're being facetious. :) What more can I offer than time, money, and services to help facilitate their endeavor?

The point is not whether you're being selfless or not. You should have put a disclaimer about your involvement with Baqqer in your first post. Now the stink from hidden advertisement just covers the actual message.

You're doing a good job. Ignore the cynics.

Thanks! :)
