The number has been bouncing around quite a bit lately.

I've also noticed that the number on OGA doesn't always match the number on the paetron site.

Although, today they do match and are low  :(

Let's hope it's just some kind of temporary glitch out, like paetrons needing to update their credit card infos or something...

Some time ago, Patreon has changed the way it shows money: it used to show the sums pledged, and now it shows the sums received (i.e. minus all the fees). It can be partially related to that.

You should also deduct taxes.

Also say what countries the taxes are going to and what those countries do with the money (usually they burn people alive with white phosphorus, or napalm, or gasoline, or just amputate limbs via overpressure, also they take away people's children, kill men in their own houses, and demand complete obedience and loyalty while they make the world ... what is it now safe for demo.. no that was in the past... ah: safe for women, girls not brides! etc).

20% fees?...

I can't donate as I don't have money. If I did have money I imagine I'd want to have an option to donate via bitcoin so there would be a possibility of being anon (would have to follow the steps correctly) and having 100pct of the transaction go to you rather than fees and taxes. Is there such an option?

This may have something to do with the Patreon hack, in which a lot of their customer data was obtained by the hackers... naturally people will be more afraid to use their money in that site given that that happened. Specially since "deleted" accounts hadn't really been deleted as promised, and their data was compromised as well.

Hadn't thought of that, but come to think of it, I just had to cancel my card due to some fraudulent charges.

Now you've made me nervous about updating my Patreon account with the new info... 

IIRC Patreon said that the hackers hadn't gotten any financial data, but rather personal data like emails and passwords. This sort of stuff is bad, but I suppose it has the potential to happen to any web service - what really disappointed me was the retention of data even from accounts supposedly deleted. I'm not sure I trust Patreon anymore after that.

It's been bouncing around by $150, sometimes from minute to minute.  I have no idea what the deal is with it, although in all honest I doubt it's the Patreon hack that caused it.  Most likely a software bug.  I'll find out what the real number is next time I collect Patreon funds, which will be at the end of the year.
