I need to check, but it might be free for some of us (possibly me for example) to do a direct bank transfer (at least inside the euro zone).

I don't know how much paypal charges, and more importantly if there are security issues with giving your iban to someone you don't know.

Sorry, yes, Euro.

I'd be happy to wire it to one of the other well-known donnors so they can paypal it together with their donation. Sorry for being a pain. :)

Well in the UK we can do bank->bank transfers for free. All that is needed is account number, sort code and a little trust!

It's supposed to cost as much as national transfers, so it's free to e.g. wire from Germany to within the EU.

I wish I was so good/useful that my contributions incited people to work to get me devices. But I choose compersion over jealousy, so yay for the people who are.

Now that Stefan has thrown in $50 (USD I presume, I think some other countries use a dollar sign too), does that cover it, or are we still in need of more funds?

Maybe within Euro area? Or depending on which bank? Because last time I wired some money to Sweden (and I had to pay in Swedish kronor) my bank charged me a lot (payment in Euro would have been cheaper but still cost something).

Hotdog we have a weiner! For the princely sum of 100 Euros, a friend of gregoranderson Has offered his second hand N900. Which means, stop pledging money now!

We have collected 110 euros. In less than an hour. You guys rule.

The extra 10 will go towards shipping. Any remaining funds will be sent back to StefanL as he is the biggest donor.

The crazy thing is, it turns out gregoranderson and I live in the same city! So when I have collected all the loot I will go and see him personally and claim the N900. I will then solder the USB port down and flash it. I will then mail it to Zeq (who lives in the same country as me).

To all those who donated, thank you! Rest assured you will see big benefits coming to cSSU as a result of this.

I will now PM all the donators with my Paypal details and collect the funds.
