Agreed many times over!

Btw, you can tell Luke that Basilisk-browser has a new developer in charge of it and that 32 bit is being supported!

Just in case he isn't already aware.

If he is and you are, then disregard this message entirely.

And peace to you and good night to you and all here!

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

I am in the mood of doing a new donation to Hyperbola. Is the wire transfer method still available? I know that the bank details at the website are not updated anymore, so I requested the updated information to Emulatorman and also donate@hyperbola.info. But until no answer.

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

Hey, you can use Wise for the wire transfer: https://wise.com/
I have talked with Emulatorman: Yes, Wise is not the best idea for privacy et all but foremost it is also a support to handle the transfer easily.

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

There are multiple ways to donate, not only money. Yes, money is support for further financial safety towards developers for HyperbolaBSD. But you also contribute in other ways: Packaging, documentation, testing and so much more. Just to remember that Hyperbola is and will be always a project from the community for the community. smile

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

I would like to remember everyone that "free" does include also personal engagement: Supporting Hyperbola means doing "donations" on multiple ways.

You have interests in writing tutorials? Feel free doing that and share your experiences.
You have interests in development and building? Supporting the package-development is a good thing or even come to the weekly meetings in the IRC. HyperbolaBSD is going to get better and faster support when you support for sure.

Or you support elsewhere: Here in the forums with publishing your ideas. Just because Hyperbola is providing a "free system" does not mean that giving back something is not needed. Free and libre software and also culture can only exist with doing that. Without engagement, also financial support, free projects cannot exist. Yes, this means also altruism in one way. But you can get much back. Depends on your decision!

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

We have received a late donation via wire-transfer (from the older noted details of the wiki-page for donations): Thanks for the 150 EUR supporting the further development for HyperbolaBSD. smile

Re: Hyperbola Project needs donations!

Yes, it sounds quite annoying when I note again about donations being missing. But let's be clear: First things first Hyperbola as project is oriented onto transparency and can only support operations going directly towards HyperbolaBSD. We will never use the financial for something else as this is the absolute basic guarantee every patron and donating person can be sure of. Besides that to count in:

We have for the moment ...

€2.18 per week from 1 patron on Liberapay
€7 per month from 2 patrons on Patreon

I like to remember every community-member that Hyperbola needs quite more financial support also as we like to have the funding for the development of the HyperbolaBSD-kernel working. For now we work every free minute as hard as possible within our free time. But our team is small and so are also our time-resources. We don't search for the "next big thing", we just want to bring out a system working on the will of its users fully, oriented on the free and libre culture on its roots. So it would be fine to get support for the project to have it running as it should. Thank you!

It is okay if people are no longer interested, but it would be nice furthermore to have you then elsewhere engaged? Financial support is needed, but we need also helping hands. So for sure we like to involve everyone within discussions and give a warm welcome. Documentation? Ideas for development? Support within HyperbolaBSD? Testing and QA? Improving packages on your own and share them here? So many choices, so much to do and so much hope you have fun here developing Hyperbola.
