shoma on Nostr: Bitcoin fixes this ...

Bitcoin fixes this

PayPal has restored our non-profit GrapheneOS Foundation account. We should be able to withdraw all donations made through it in the past few weeks. We received no info on why our account was permanently banned with funds held for 180 days or why they now restored our account.

We understand people want to donate via credit cards and bank transfers. GitHub Sponsors has worked very well for us as the main credit card donation option. GitHub covers processing fees for donations from individuals so we pay 0% instead of 30¢ + ~4% fees for most donations.

We're going to open a GitHub Sponsors account for the non-profit GrapheneOS Foundation. It's currently the only remaining donation option not yet moved over to the GrapheneOS Foundation. It may take a couple weeks to approve us based on our experience with PayPal and our bank.

We also plan to add support for Wise in order to support local bank transfers internationally instead of only within Canada.

We could also add our own Stripe donation option, but it would have 30¢ + ~4% fees instead of 0% fees for donations from individuals like GitHub Sponsors.

Now I understand the above isn't of any consequence to our Nostr community in the main, due to our appreciation of Bitcoin but posting, however I am ensuring communications are contigious across platforms. Not only that but it has no impact on our Bitcoin donation channel nor plans for our own LN node.
