Hello:  I will donate what I can on payday with PayPal, which will probably be this Thursday or Friday.  Keep up the great work, people!

Go to home page http://chaosempire.info/web/
There hit Itemlist which takes you http://chaosempire.info/web/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,8/
Top dead center of the page (excluding the Joomla wrapper) is the spende/donate button.
Hitting that takes you to a donate page which is NOT a new URL.

I only see a paypal sheet there, getting dollars -> Euros might not be simple.  I've never done any such, perhaps C.E. knows how to set up a store-front secure pay center here in the USA to collect dollars and credit him Euros.  My wonder is how much that would cost to implement (what percentage or flat fee).

I get irritable waiting for the next month to make the next donation... wish I had more to put into this delightful addiction.

paypal is able to handle dollar to euro
i only need to pay the the fee...

but thats paypal..

also thats the reason for my bank connection with german and european format, cause it is faster, and it wipes no money into other hands..

but thats paypal..

Paypal does the $ to E conversion, 5E is about $6.20.

Are you (C.E.) able to set up a store front in US or Europe that would take an american credit/debit card also?  This is (IIUC) what bdpf is asking for.

[ChaosEmpire]

i thaught that paypal accepts credit cards...(they take fees when credit cardas are used..)

[satye]

You are correct Chaos. I donate just about every month and I use my Debit card that takes funds directly from my account. PayPal handles all the american/euro changes. Also they send me an e-mail conferming the transaction. It is never a problem, takes about 2 minuetes .

[back2toxic]

but what about ppl without debit/kredit card?

[ChaosEmpire]

it spossible, but in germany you can directly transfer money to me..without paypal

[satye]

Toxic has a good point. I do not know if you have Cash Cards in Germany, but in the US a person can purchaase a Card to use for internet transactions of any kind. You get them at convience stores. You Load the funds on the card and use it for what you want. My brother uses one to purchase stuff online, without the any risk to his back account.
