Provide More Donation Options

[dktzde]

Hi grote,
I really like this app and I'm so happy, that there is an oss public transport app, so I would like to invite you for a beer - but I don't use flickr. Is there an other option to send you some money?
For me it would be easy to use either paypal, send you a "snail mail" letter with money, Euro bank transfer or an posteo voucher. Maybe we also could see each other when I will be next time in Berlin - but I don't know if I will be there this year. Which way would you prefer?
You can contact me under the following mail adress:
grote-temp@posteo.cz
Regards dktzde

I second that. Thank you very much for making this app! It's really useful to me. With version 1.0 from today this app is really a good peace of software. So I'd like to donate, but I don't use flattr.

Keep up the good work!

What donation options would you like to see? PayPal, Bitcoin?

[dktzde]

for me personally paypal would be fine. I thing it's really nice, when there are options which can be used without any additional registration.

[DJaeger]

I would prefer options without registration.

[motatuc]

+1 without the need for registration.

[grote]

So then Bitcoin would be the only option?

[DJaeger]

And in addition a simple money transfer, as most people already have a bank account

[grote]

I'd be reluctant to publish my bank account information online.

[dktzde]

What about having a second bank account, with no money on it, without the possibility to overdraft it.

[grote]

Alright, I created a Bitcoin Wallet and an address that can receive donations: 12JaQp8zfqRb83JfSwVjH4rZWsZnWRPoyG
If you want to help me test that this actually works, you can donate a small amount to that address. Thanks!

[DJaeger]

Have send you 5 Cent as Bitcoin.

[grote]

Thanks @DJaeger that seems to have worked! :)

The address will then be the official Bitcoin donation from now on.

I'll close this issue, but will leave it open for further comments.

This is exactly the application I was missing from f-droid, and it is awesome! Thanks a lot for your great work on that! Keep on!
Unfortunately, I don't use bitcoin or flattr, but I would absolutely buy you some beer with paypal

Hey guys,

Would love to donate you a bit. Your APP is just awesome <3

Best regards Form Berlin,

There's an existing pledge of €0.01 per week on liberapay. When It is at €1 I'll sign up there.

Transportr is now on Liberapay! https://liberapay.com/Transportr/

@grote, thanks to F-Droid integration you can now even show a donation button in F-Droid.

[Tonat]

@grote You can sign up to Liberapay now :)
Please add a logo to Transportr, since it provides quick recognition when browsing through Teams there. 👍

[grote]

@Tonat there's a logo, but your browser's tracking protection doesn't show it, because Liberapay includes it from a remote side. Unfortunately, it is not possible to just upload a logo :(

[rugk]

Until some time ago you could include/upload it from/to Libreavatar, which likely tracks less than Twitter, where it is currently included. Maybe they are changing that system: liberapay/liberapay.com#1044

[grote]

@rugk Thanks for the link! I hope direct upload will be added soon.

[Echolon]

I really appriciate your work and new version is very nice and I really wanna support your work. Is it possible to get an IBAN via email or so? I dont have bitcoin and Liberapay is shutting down maybe end of the month...

[rugk]

Liberapay is shutting down maybe end of the month...

They likely/hopefully will not directly shut down, but they will have to stop using Mangopay. Before they do, you still have the chance to donate via Liberapay/via the current system. Just "empty your wallet" afterwards, so you have no money in the wallet anymore.

What is the Flattr link to support you?

[publicmoneypubliccode]

Can you send me a bank adress so I can send you some money via bank transfer? Don't have bitcoins and don't use liberapay but really like your app.

[grote]

I really appriciate your work and new version is very nice and I really wanna support your work.

Thanks! That's nice to hear after all these complaints about the new UI.

Is it possible to get an IBAN via email or so?

Yes, you can request an IBAN from t at grobox dot de

What is the Flattr link to support you?

I used to have Flattr, but they changed completely, so I dropped it. Sorry.

Do you plan on accepting Monero?
Bitcoin is not an option for me due to the lack of privacy and fungibilty (the risk of unknowingly having "tainted" i.e. "illegal" bitcoins).
Additionally XMR has low transaction fees and is a lot faster.

I love your great work on this app and would like to support the development, but I don't want to waste money on transaction fees / fixedfloat conversion fees.
