monthly donation alternative way

[qu...@ixls.eu]

Good evening,

I am not really technical.
I use qubes for some time now and I really have the feeling to "get back
the internet" a littly bit again.
I would love to support qubes more on a monthly basis. It is totally
worth it and you earn it.
_But_ I don't have a credit card and it would not be easy for me to get
some bitcoins.
Isn't there another way? Paypal (don't like it of course), some
non-profit organisation ("Verein" "e.V." in Germany). Anonymity is not
important here in this case.

(Actually it would be cool to have a Qubes-OS e.V. in Germany.... Well
but this is probably a German speciality :-) )

Well, I could find someone with a credit card and make him send some
money... but not on a regular basis. I would like to do it myself.

Keep up the good work
d.

Qubes donations are possible via bitcoin or opencollective (the credit
card option). The later also works with PayPal not only credit card. So
if you have a PayPal account it should work.

Of course it's a shame that you will pay a percentage to PayPal and
OpenCollective so that the final amount that arrives for the Qubes team
will be somewhat diminished.

There are no easy ways to buy bitcoin in Germany? Well, I guess they
want a percentage for that too. :-(
