No worries, I have no paypal or any other means setup to receive donations anyway, no matter if I'm broke or not, for me opensource is a way for me to give back to the communities and projects that I use and are also free as in free beer to me for that end.
I wouldn't also like to guilt trip any of my users that choose or can't donate.
If anyone should pay for opensource developer time are the companies who benefit from the healthy opensource ecosystem and make money doing so. Like the Rufus developer says about donations.
Other projects I have been part of in the past, they have yearly developer/community meetups, and then in this social act, I wouldn't mind accepting a nice cold beer or cup of coffee or whatever.
