> Donations these days are via Liberapay, an obscure French non-profit organization, and YC-backed startup BuyMeACoffee.

I am not sure why Liberapay is qualified as 'obscure'. Their website's "legal" page [0] clearly identifies the organization and its legal representative, while providing contact details. The status of the non-profit organization can be verified in the French government's website [1].

It isn't; it's been around for ages and is specifically a trusted organization handling donations for open source projects.

Chalk the snotty comment, and irrational YC worship, up to your basic herd mentality. The author is, I would bet, a typical HN poster.
