| # Donate | |
| Apache software is free software. | |
| For those able & willing to support my work, I can be sponsored via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/hexgrad). I also accept *unconditional, no-strings-attached* donations in the form of **GPU cloud credit**. This helps me run experiments and train models. | |
| Please do not "attach strings" (e.g. model requests, consulting, brand sponsorships) to donations because some of these channels are anonymous: I may not be able to see who sent what. | |
| Also, along the lines of "Never buy a product based on the future promise of updates", I would discourage you from donating because you expect a specific model to come down the pipeline. Hopefully, donors broadly believe that good things happen when [someone gets this man (yours truly) a GPU](https://i.redd.it/r8dtt3n9rc431.jpg). | |

| ### Vast.ai Referral Link | |
| Vast.ai is a vendor I use for cloud GPUs. I "earn 3% of all referred customer revenue as credits": [https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=79907](https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=79907) | |
| ### Vast.ai Transfer Credit | |
| To **anonymously** transfer $5 of credit directly to my Vast.ai account `[email protected]`, you can use `transfer credit` in the Vast CLI like so: | |
| ```sh | |
| vastai transfer credit [email protected] 5 | |
| ``` | |
| The usage of the `transfer credit` command is documented here: https://docs.vast.ai/api/commands#voyTE | |
| ```sh | |
| usage: vastai transfer credit RECIPIENT AMOUNT | |
| positional arguments: | |
| recipient email of recipient account | |
| amount $dollars of credit to transfer | |
| Transfer (amount) credits to account with email (recipient). | |
| ``` | |
| Note that `transfer credit` seems to be an anonymous command. If I don't say thank you, its because I can't see the sender! | |
| ### RunPod Referral Link | |
| RunPod is another vendor I use for cloud GPUs. I earn "5% from serverless and 1% from templates": https://runpod.io?ref=pup8o2ly | |
| ### RunPod Credit Codes | |
| After signing in to RunPod, under `Account > Billing > Credit Codes`, you can "generate a code that allows you to gift funds to another RunPod user": | |
| > Simply give them the code and they will be able to redeem it for credits on their billing page. Please safeguard your codes as they are worth money! | |
| > Credits will be debited from your account immediately. You can redeem the code yourself if you want to recover your credits. There is a 2% transaction fee for payment processing! | |
| If you wish to send codes, you can do so by emailing `[email protected]`, or DM me on Discord `@rzvzn`. | |
