Request granted.
I've set-up a regular Patreon payment.
Thank you for creating such a fantastic piece of software.

I'm an old guy who somehow ended up going down the 3d printing rabbit hole. There are a lot of unethical or at the very least, misleading links out there that are just a click away. I for one, would like to see a link to the various legitimate options so that I am selecting the correct process. I know I am currently using Patreon to support Octoprint and it's a known entity. Show me how to use Github and I'm there. A reliable Octopring is too important to, I think, so many of us. Oh and by the way, thank you!
All the legitimate links you mention are easily obtainable at the official OctoPrint website, as originally linked on the first post.

Octoprint is amazing, and therefore you are amazing. Stick those support links up front so people like me have no excuses... just signed up as a patreon supporter, and while it's not much, I hope "every bit helps."
Thank you!

I can't remember if I replied to this post when I became a patron, but if I did, it's ok to be repetitive regarding encouragement! In the past three years, I've witnessed many examples of the extraordinary accomplishments people can achieve when they find support from crowdsourcing rather than big-budget corporations. The power of many people with similar interests coming together to support something great cannot be overstated but too often goes underappreciated.
I'm happy to support foosel in the small part that I can. If possible, I'll be increasing my support in the future simply because I don't want to see this great program fail or irritating ads be added to my interface. 
If you're using OctoPrint and NOT supporting, please do consider it. Even if you can only afford USD$2 per month, every bit helps, even when common sense might say it couldn't.
And I'd also like to point out and support the MANY plug-in developers out there! The innovation and convenience I've found with my plug-ins is just as amazing as the foundation of OctoPrint itself! Bravo, thank you, well done, and if you could use some financial support, don't be shy, speak up!!!

I want to express my gratitude for the exceptional effort put into making OctoPrint accessible to many users. Nearly looking to get the printer for my art printing work to reproduce in 3D.
I'm pitching in a monthly amount to help!

Gina - I think you should incorporate a "Donate" Link right on the Octoprint main control page. There is no shame in this. We all appreciate your efforts. Just made my second donation.
Ding. One more recurring sponsor has been added to your Github sponsors list.
I should have done this a couple of years ago when my wife asked me to set up Octoprint for her.
You have provided the 3d print community a great gift, and you deserve to be compensated for that wonderful gift. I'm glad that you have been able to support yourself full time working on a project you love, and I hope that you will be able to continue to do so as long as you would like and are passionate about the project.

I see how many are using your work. If only they sent $10.00, you would be a millionaire. They do not; shame! I will give you a donation every year I use your software and thank you!

My OctoPi is right now at the left next to me, connected to the printer and only waits for me to start a print! @foosel this is a GREAT, no, probably the BEST idea that you ever had! And by the way, I didn't know the creator is German like me until a few weeks ago. My reaction was like "Ja moin". But if i could i would send you every month 10-20€ for this awsome work!
