Development time
The parity work is slow by nature: every system is checked against what the official server actually does, not against what seems reasonable.
Donate
Pay for the work,
Pay for the work,
not for the software.
Basalt is GPL-3.0 and always will be. There is no paid tier, no licence to buy and nothing held back for people who give. What donations buy is time: the hours that go into a server rewritten from scratch instead of forked, and the machines that test it on five platforms.

Test machines
A binary is only proven on the platform it runs on, so every platform needs a host of its own to be tested on.
Everything stays free
No paid edition, no licence, no feature behind a tier. Donating buys the project time, never you an advantage.
Other ways
Money is not the only thing that helps
A parity bug reported with the steps to reproduce it is worth a great deal, because finding one is most of the work of fixing it.
- Report anything that behaves differently from the official server, with the steps that showed it.
- Send a patch. The server, the proxy, the network layer and this site are all public.
- Improve the documentation. It is its own repository and every page has an edit link.
- Run it, and say what broke.
Companies
Building something on Basalt?
Hosts, networks and studios that depend on it can sponsor the work directly.
It does not buy influence over the roadmap or a feature nobody else gets. Vanilla parity is the acceptance criterion whoever is asking.
