I've got some software creators that I'd like to send some money to because I use their stuff often. But I'd like to maintain my privacy. What's the best way to do it?

I think that depends on them because they would have to set up some way for people to pay them

spend hours/days finding out their personal addresses. tie the money, and a note to a brick. also steal a bicycle.

park your car a few blocks away. put on a balaclava, and remove the stolen bike from the bike rack. bike to the house, launch the brick through their window.

done.. you're privacy is still mostly secured, and they get money for existing.

everyone's happy.

You could purchase some prepaid debit gift cards and use those, if you want something traditional.

I use an app called "Privacy" to create virtual cards for most things
