Hi! Is it possible to donate Bitcoin? Cheers

No, unfortunately. Bitcoin is banned in my country and it is very hard to convert it to fiat money.

Look up Bisq. It's an anonymous trustless exchange that's hard to censure. Disclaimer: I contributed to it.

Maybe suggesting to someone to break the law to receive donations is not really helpful.

Whether something is lawful does not decide whether it's useful. To some people bypassing currency censure is a good thing.

That UI system looks really nice!

Thanks! It took half of year to build it, it was a hard task especially for a newbie Rust programmer I was back in the day. I was able to find right desing from fourth attempt.

Do you support github donations? (If not, I'll sign up for patreon.)

This is amazing and is something I'm interested in using for my startup. I'd be glad to pitch in!

Thank you! Unfortunately, GitHub donations is not supported in my country, so Patreon is the only option for me.

There is also https://liberapay.com/mrDIMAS - see the right panel on the rg3d repo. AFAIK it should be better than patreon because it doesn't take any cut but for some reason people are not using it.

I couldn’t help but notice the RG3 reminds me of the NFL player Robert Griffin III whose nickname was RG3. Was this just a coincidence?

What exactly do you think the overlap is between people interested in a Rust game engine and people who watch american football?

Well, I follow the NFL and am interested in game engine design, so...non zero?

I can also vouch for this perspective as, I remember RG3 (and I am Canadian, btw :) ) and thought of him when I saw the name (or rather sounded it out). So definitely non-zero. Just my 2 cents. I like this engine also, just to be clear :)
