@gt the current stage is "waiting for the official approval" but German bureaucracy is taking its time, so no ETA for now.

@libremax
oh ... I see, that is how Librepay works. You transfer some money to the Librepay platform (aka. credit it), an then redistribute it to projects.

My fault, I just misunderstood something. Everything (about this topic) is clear now.

Thank you.

Wonderfull, in only 2 days, 2 more people (42 versus 40) are now patrons of UBports on Liberapay.

That's five times faster than in the previous six months.

Let's accelerate again in the next days, weeks and months until all UBports users are part of this glorious club.

To be continued...

Just a quick quip, be sure to note that you are donating by week, not by month on Liberapay!

libremax

@unisuperbox
Only payments are done by week. When you create a donation, you can choose an amount, and a period, (week, month or year). So for exemple, you can choose 1 €/$ as amount and "year" as period.
In any case, it is impossible to give more by mistake than the amount you have credited to your Liberapay account.

Today 44 patrons, +2

I forgot an important element, with Liberapay all donations are anonymous; fixed now.

BTW Thanks to the unknown guy who donates me €0.02 each month or so

@flohack in just ten more years, you'll have a pint of beer for free! XD

@libremax I also tried this argument. To now avail
I asked for the the Liberapay widget to be put up at least which shows how much UBports is getting. A much better idea would be to ask Liberapay to create a widget which will only show the amount of supporters. So you do not have the names present but at least visotrs to the UBports page can see there are people who support this.

In fact you receives €0.02 per week from 2 "guys".
Well, it's still 1€ by year.

flohack

@libremax You are right, it might be 2 donors xD

Updated, to date 50 (+6) forgot to procrastinate.

That leaves only a few tens of thousands of procrastinators to wake up.

twinkybot

@libremax Just FYI, the widgets are ready to be integrated. There is one which just shows the number of patrons.

libremax

@twinkybot Exact for one of the two widget proposed only :

Just a little up, 98 patrons only now, 3 years later !!!
And 10€ per year instead of 1 will not kill anyone

libremax

@keneda In fact a few more because UBports is now also registered as an organization (UBports Foundation) and not only a team (UBports).

And yes, if all Ubuntu Touch users can donate 1€/$ by year to UBports foundation, obviously most of them can donate more. The barriers are more psychological than financial and it is a matter of helping everyone to overcome them serenely.

Update done

In fact we could do much more things if we had more money flowing I had to put a contractor on the waiting list, he would work on Morph Browser at least part-time, but we cannot afford it atm.

libremax

@flohack It may be a good idea to

increase significantly the goal displayed currently (150 € by week) to an amount more in line with UBports fundation needs,
improve communication to make it more inciting without becoming insistent,
add translations,
publish the detailed accounts of the foundation so that this transparency can give confidence to newcomers (those who "frequent" the members of the foundation for a long time have much more to trust)
