I've got some software creators that I'd like to send some money to because I use their stuff often. But I'd like to maintain my privacy. What's the best way to do it?

spend hours/days finding out their personal addresses. tie the money, and a note to a brick. also steal a bicycle.

park your car a few blocks away. put on a balaclava, and remove the stolen bike from the bike rack. bike to the house, launch the brick through their window.

done.. you're privacy is still mostly secured, and they get money for existing.

everyone's happy.

I was absolutely gonna say "wrap money around a brick and throw it through a window."

Of course I'm from the anarchist instance so brick hurling is my love language.

(Pro tip. Make sure there's also enough to replace the window.)

I think that depends on them because they would have to set up some way for people to pay them

I use an app called "Privacy" to create virtual cards for most things

You could purchase some prepaid debit gift cards at a store with cash and use those, if you want something traditional.
