Thank god we can finally give money to support you folks. For the past year I've been waiting for the day that I can fund the development of Matrix (for context, in the past they made it clear that they didn't feel they needed funding because they all had jobs working on Matrix).
I have just pledged 50EUR a month (kudos for providing two free software systems for donations -- though GNU Taler would've been another nice addition). I would also pledge my time if I wasn't already working overtime on other free software work. To everyone who just reads HN comments and skips the articles -- if you have the means, donate: { https://patreon.com/matrixdotorg ; https://liberapay.com/matrixdotorg ; 1LxowEgsquZ3UPZ68wHf8v2MDZw82dVmAE }.
Matrix is truly a very revolutionary piece of technology, and they deserve far more support than they're getting. I'm gladly investing now in the hopes that the Matrix of the future will deliver on what I see them doing. I'm really hoping that one day people will switch to Matrix because of its features and not because I badgered them to do so. Here's hoping.

Wow, thank you cyphar! That is very generous and hugely appreciated :) We will be doing everything we can to keep Matrix growing and evolving as fast as we possibly can.

Good luck.
