I'm going to start doing some user research for #ActivityBot. I'd like to pay participants £20 / €20 for an hour of their time. This has to be a voucher (no cash or cash-like cards) so which would you prefer?

    Woo! It's now official 😊 I'm getting some grant funding to further develop #ActivityBot. If you have any feature requests or suggestions - or just want to build your own ActivityPub bot - check out https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot

    @Edent@mastodon.social Sorry for straying a bit from the actual question but I'd participate without compensation. Also if you insist on money changing owner how about having an option to designate a donation instead of personally receiving compensation? If those are somehow not compatible with the procedure excuse my disruption. 😅

    @Edent@mastodon.social guessing something electronic to keep your logistics reasonable? How about https://www.nationalbooktokens.com/ (covers £ and €) which would cover physical books (and maybe some eBooks options?)

    @Edent@mastodon.social een kadobon, maar let op geldigheidsduur: https://blog.gifty.nl/cadeaubonnen-wat-je-moet-weten-over-geldigheid-en-vervaldatum/

  • @Edent@mastodon.social Amazon voucher might have the widest appeal, unless you prefer not to support that company

    @Edent@mastodon.social the Office for National Statistics, when they do surveys, give you one of these vouchers -- https://www.pluxee.uk/products/evouchers/ -- which the recipient can then choose from a bunch of different stores and restaurants and such. I turned mine into an M&S one one time and had a lovely dinner :) No idea whether you have to buy 10,000 at a time or something, mind, or whether it'd work for you, but I found it useful, and the ONS presumably (hopefully?) did at least some due diligence on them being OK :)

    @Edent@mastodon.social I voted books, but https://uk.bookshop.org/gift_cards rather than Kobo perhaps?
