Some good news on the donations! zehjotkah is kindly looking after the monies and will be treasurer for the competition
The link is now up and running, and if you would like to contribute you can donate using the link below:
I'll send everyone on the bounty pledge list a pm soon to let them know.
When you click on the link and sign into Paypal you will see a screen similar to below (this is a screenshot of my donation). There's a place to enter the amount of your donation (please note, it's in Euros) and a place to enter your username so we can track it.
After sending you'll get a confirmation code and an email, from Paypal, to your registered email address to confirm it.
Please note a couple of things, namely euros and fees.
Originally we were collecting in dollars, ofcourse euros are worth a little bit more than dollars ( 1 euro is currently worth approx 1.2 dollars) so if you give the same pledge amount in euros it'll actually be a little bit more.
Unfortunately we were not able to avoid Paypal fees, even with donations. We did research into it and along with zehjotkah and dj_steve's help we found that paypal will take a fee whatever the transaction. Using my donation as an example, it breaks down like this:
The entire money sent:
€41,00 EUR
Fees:
-€1,13 EUR
What zehjotkah got (and goes into the bounty):
€39,87 EUR
This will probably affect the bounty total a bit by making it lower, but it's unavoidable unfortunately
If you are able to give a little more to help cover the fees of your donation that would be amazing, however it's not expected - we're genuinely very grateful for everything you contribute
