I like the idea of having easy to use Paypal buttons to send a volunteer programmer money, like with the webpage for
Visionary TV card software. However that is really different from a bounty. With a bounty all the money is collected and the incentive for the programmer is to finish the project and get the bag of loot. With a button to send individual donations directly to the developer, there's a drip drip drip that is nice but there is no bag of loot.
PS: Yeah, in my opinion there should be a button on marcik's Sputnik page to take individual donations for continuing development, just like Frank Mariak does with Visionary.

I might like to add (since you've taken my
Visionary project as some sort of reference) that I only received a single donation this way so far and this button is available for quite some time by now (Thanks to the single person that donated, you know who you are). :)
This form of donation buttons can't for sure replace any kind of bounties to get things started or guarantee continued development if all people seeing it rely on someone else donating to the project. :)
