@Lucien_Lachance Just an update. I did make some changes that may help, however I was able to download it successfully regardless. I am 100% open to working to improve it and provide other mechanisms for OpenCollective members to download it though!

    Hello everyone! I'm Georgiy Bogdanoff known as Dr.Sheppard, i'm living in Russia and i have one question. Fintech is not well developed in Russia (i knew, because i'm working in one of largest bank of country). 2 payment methods are available on OpenCollective: credit card and PayPal (working in Russia). What is the best way to donate so that Solus gets the most out of the amount?

    update:
    $3.00 USD Stripe fees $0.39 USD, PayPal fees $0.42 USD;
    $5.00 USD Stripe fees $0.45 USD, Paypal fees $0.50 USD
    $10.00 USD Stripe fees $0.59 USD, Paypal fees $0.69 USD

      George Generally credit card processing fees are lower, however IIRC OpenCollective refunds processing fees regardless.

        GeorgeYou have to consider the amount you are going to donate.
        Looking at the current transactions we can see that, Solus get:
        for 1$ - 0.56% of 1$.
        for 3$ - 0.75%
        for 5$ - 0.8%
        for 10$ - 0.83%
        for 25$ - 0.84%
        for 50$ - 0.85%
        for 300$ - 0.86%

        So I think one time 12$ is better than 1$ monthly.

        Not sure about Credit Card and Paypal.

          Been looking forward to this (weirdly) for a while, i've been a big fan of Solus since the early days, its my daily driver for work and home, glad i get to give something back even if its just a few quid to keep the lights on, keep up the frankly awesome work

          Signed up for the Beta tester tier, bumped it to $11 dollars to cover the fee's and stuff!

          Do emails get sent retroactively or do I need to wait til the next email gets sent.

          Thanks for all your work 🙂

            @JoshStrobl Thank you for the awesome work you do! Solus has ended me distro hopping! Also got me to sign up as a Beta Tester so I can see the new goodies before everyone else! 😃
