The extra stays in our PayPal account. In the past, we came up short of our donation goal on occasion. Fortunately, we had the extra funds from where the donations exceeded the monthly goal to cover the shortfall most of the time, but not always. The money that is donated is only used for server and software for DP.What happens when donations exceed the $ 290 monthly target?
Do they rollover or does the staff kick up their heels?………
There isn't really a "right amount". We are funded entirely by user donations, which is why you don't see ads anywhere on the site. Fortunately, we have quite a few who have been kind enough to contribute towards the cost of maintaining DP. We're not struggling to pay the server costs at this time like we once were. If you wish to donate, donate what you can, but every little bit helps and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the kindness of so many members.About what is the right amount to donate yearly?
I recall years back when the donations did not meet the costs. I get the feeling you and others ponied up?Would like to add that the overage is used for upgrades and licensing. A good example is last weekend we had a major memory upgrade. The site "pops" now and feels great. Plus, our nightly backup's only take about 15 mins compared 1.5 hours!
Thank you!

I have been receiving beer and pizza gift cards, now I know where they came from,thanks to everyoneI would hope that if they have a red letter month that there's free pizza and some six packs for everyone.
So...if the monthly nut hits $329, go get some beer or Chinese takeout.

We have had swish for quite some timeI suggest you get swish. (I know, not in the US yet, but I am sure an american multicompany will steal the idea soon) It is the best way to give or recieve money for smaller amounts. You just need to connect your phone to swish (which you connect to a bank account of your choice and you can recieve and send money, just knowing the phonenumbers(both need to have swish off course) It is unbeatable. In Sweden even stores and resturants use it. You identify yourself through a bank ID you have on your phone.
Simple the best....
Swish
"But as one official pointed out, you'd be foolish not to wash the barrel out first."
Didnt know that. It is a swedish system launched in 2012. So that would mean you hade it almost from start.

You will change your mind. I promise....Old rum/whisky barrels were put to good use
Myself I will not use a phone for payments
FFS, Venmo and PayPal predate Swish. If anything, Swish is the copycat.You will change your mind. I promise....

(the resaon I published it on this thread is because I don't use paypal it is just to complicated and the risks and complications are to high...) I can't send from my charge card and I don't want to use creditcards online so (to high limits).... I can't donate...)
Well, I am sorry to say I do not agree with you. I got my account closed without warning (discovered it on my own one day when I wanted to use it after a long break) and they "stole" the money that was in my account (not much , just about 100 dollars). I am not opening a new account.We have literally had 0 issues with PayPal. You can donate through PayPal without even having to create an account. PayPal is very secure.
