You mean having privacy? I thought HN crowd is all about privacy. Also donation, as in opposite of having a gun to your head to part you with your money.
Yeah no I wasn't talking about privacy. I was talking about "Hey please donate, you cant contact me for any other reason, nor will I tell you if this is run by a developer who wants to help people out or if its a springboard to an unrelated commercial product that you will be funding."
It's not exactly a bizarre concept to want to know who you're donating money to.
