Hi all. The contract that distributes donations also transfers a fixed fee to my account. For instance, see: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc27a96a1ed705b03604b91287d0e2cf76f...

The fee is flat and priced around a buck, mostly to help recoup some server costs, hosting costs, etc.. which I thnk is fair.

My main motivation was to make a cheaper version of GoFundMe or Patreon. Both of those sites charge a percentage on top of whatever credit card fees.

Please make the mechanics and fees clearer on the website. Linking to and explaining the contract would be great for transparency. With that done, I think your service can be useful.
