I'm sure there are many on here who feel invested in SN and would like to contribute sats to its continued growth and innovation. What's the best way to do this? Would a simple "donate" button solve this?

Why not open a channel with SN and push the desired sats to their side? You've donated while also adding liquidity to their node.

We should have some kind of donation mechanism.
- Opening a channel is a good suggestion
- @cointastical has recommended we let people donate into daily rewards, which would be cool
- Further, I'd recommend just tipping other users more, engaging thoughtfully with their content more, and sharing SN with other Bitcoiners. This is probably the best thing stackers can do for SN right now, but I totally get its relatively high effort.

Good idea. I will do that. I still think the site might benefit from a donate button.

I think it's fine if SN takes a small cut of the LN payments made on it in some way. Nothing wrong with for-profit companies.

Would love a setting that lets you set a "tip" %. So if i set 20% and I upvote 10 sats, it sends 2 sats to SN (or to reward users if that's an option).
Or something like acorns feature where it rounds up to the closest 10 sats (or X sats) and donates that to SN.
For some reason as a user I feel like there's so much inertia to using a donate button (perhaps you get conscious about the amount to donate) but a more passive option like one of the above seems more fun.

Sure, that could work. Just make it default to some small % and I'm sure most people wouldn't change it.
Most of the sites like Bandcamp that I regularly buy MP3s from let you pick your own price for the MP3s. I routinely round up from the suggested price.
Now Bandcamp, if you're listening, please accept Lighting...

I would support this idea.
