In the interests of their long term sustainability, I would like to see them figure out what they need to deal with that, and charge it. Probably somewhere around 1-3% from what I gather. [..]
I really appreciate their current model: they ask for a voluntary amount of long-term donation right after sign-up. The default value is zero. I was impressed by this and committed a small weekly sum.
The statistics show that currently the users of liberapay honor this open approach: the group [1], the founder [2] and the organization [3] of liberapay collect a combined sum of 420 Euros per week. This is quite impressive, considering that currently approximately 2200 Euros are distributed per week [4] among all creators. This funding ratio (currently almost 20%) will surely drop with a growing number of users. In general the strategy looks very healthy and honest to me.
Cheers, Lars
