I believe that I've found the easiest solution, and it should be transparent. PayPal has a Fundraiser feature that allows for friends to raise funds for some shared expense. I started the application process to create this fundraiser (it requires a lot of ID authentication) and apparently will have to wait 2-3 days now for them to approve things.
If it all works out, I will be able to post a PayPal link here that you just click on to make your contribution.
I'm also updating the Patron list, which is only missing three people now who had stated in the poll they would contribute $20.
PATRON LIST:
Pete E. $50
Uwe $20
SoucekFan $20
mikeytap $20
? $20
? $20

skywatcher $15
Typewriter Man $15
