These are good points, Svaksha. I don't think we should go with one of these tipping platforms. Julia is part of NumFocus – a 501(c)(3) that can accept donations. If anyone wants to donate to Julia development, you can do it right now from this page:
http://numfocus.org/projects/index.html We can figure out a membership plan too, but it's already possible to take money directly for Julia development.
