Is it possible to contribute to Elysium/Nost?

[Winterflaw]

I'd like to set up a monthly standing order, to contribute.

I've looked over the E. site, but I can see no way to contact them.

Anyone know?

Just wait until it releases, then I'm sure they'll set something up.

Thanks for that, lurk.

My account is there on Valk/Ely - I'm not quite sure how; it might have been I tried them back in the day, or they have already performed a limited import of Nost.

Either way, I could log in, even though I have no memory of making an account and could not in fact see where to make an account!

So, you can donate - problem is, it's by Paypal.

Paypal are *shit*. I mean, total utter fucking *shit*.

I have had 100% pain, sorrow, stress and THEN failure, ALWAYS, with Paypal.

Many years ago now I stopped trying, because no matter how much I tried, no matter how much stress, pain and effort occurred, I would always STILL be unable to do whatever it was I was trying to do and have to find another way ANYWAY. Afrer that happens several times, you wise up.

Simple quick example to start with - because I'm in Germany, their page is in German. I do *not* know how to read German. There is NO option, EVER, to change language. Because, you know, the Internet means we all live in the country we speak the same language as - oh wait, NO IT DOESN'T. Fucking *morons*.

I would have to make a Paypal account to pay - I can't just pay with a card - and that is a deal breaker. I will see if I can transfer money to someone else, who can then transfer to Ely.

You should be thankful, when I shop at Out Of Line, it's 27$ for them to ship to me here in United States.

Use Chrome, and there's a funtion to translate whatever page you're on to the default language of your computer. It's not bad, although in the case of different cultures / regions the translation can be pretty fucked-up but still understandable. German to English is not one of those cases though, it shouldn't be a problem.
The other solution I can think of is to just use a VPN back to the US (or wherever you want Paypal to show for you.) Kind of a pain just to contribute to a private server though, especially since they're providing you the service anyway...

Norjak, when you're using Chrome, it reports your unique ID and each URL as you visit it back to Google, who store that information forever. Using Chrome is as such utterly inconcievable. I shudder to know that untold hundreds of millions of people are using Chrome.

I could use Chromium, which has this behaviour removed, but this problem with language is alas only the tip of the Paypal ice-berg. There has been an endless array of insane problems over a considerable period of time, such that I am now on an emotional level utterly allergic to Paypal.

But! thankyou for making a suggestion and trying to help.

The same way as before yes
