Title: Donations?
Post by: ptaczek on 23 March, 2005, 19:35:27
Hi, today I've got a mail concerning ptokax. My answer I finally wrote could be interesting to all of you. But it's not easy... :/

Hi,
it's because the old JET_DB_based statistics were buggy on heavily loaded hubs. All statistics scheme is in process of rewriting, the old is no longer functional and the new is not yet ready :)
I can understand that some hubowners need this feature but for now you will have to wait a little. Im solving crucial things in my life such as money, permanent home and good job. I have nothing mentioned above and most of the time Im spending into keep myself alive and PPK is experiencing very similar life situation :/
If there will be anybody willing to support me I will greatly appreciate it and the developing will be faster. Im not just blindly calling for money, Im crying out for help! The project is three years old now without any donation and even with almost no explicit will to support me in any material way (excluding great ppl hosting dozens of forums, websites etc.). Wich is really sad concerning the fact that there is about 1700 registered hubs running ptokax and more than 2300 members on the LUA forum :/ If there would be 500 or more users able and willing to support me with only 5-10? I would be able to get a mortage, start to live normaly in own home, be relaxed, happy and able to reallocate my powers to have a little fun with ptokax and maybe other DC projects. And if such support will continue in any way I would be more than happy man with dozens of happy users all over the world!
I don't want to make ptokax a paid software. But with a financial support of others I could have had really better life (and english) and therefore you (users) could have had better ptokax. For now Im really in very bad situation and it lasts for almost one year which is exhausting both physicaly and psychicaly and I really love ptokax and ppl around it. Thanx to a great heart of my friend I can share his little apartment and internet connection for almost nothing but I can't do that forever. Moreover I feel like a parasite :o(
Please, feel free to spread the word between ptokax users.

Sincerely
Zdenek Stangl aka Ptaczek.

Post by: Bertee on 23 March, 2005, 21:25:29
I've been using PtokaX for nearly two years now and have enjoyed the support of this forum and the use of the software for no cost.
If you let me know your paypal details I'm sure I could rob the wifes paypal for ya   :D  
Seriously tho, lemme know your details and I don't mind sorting something out.
Hope things get better for you real soon.

I'm using Ptokax for over an year now, and i'm also in a bit of a critical monetary situation, but if you give me your paypal details, or if somebody helps me to find it, i would be happy to help out... cant help much, but i guess not many ppl can, and if we all support with few it should be enough, since we are so many...

Oh, I didn't expected so quick rections and Im close to cry... :'( Really THANK YOU ALL!!!
Unfortunately, PayPal is not available in Czech Republic but I've got a bank account. The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is CZ2324000000000378576001
And another option is to use ugly MoneyBookers system (//www.moneybookers.com) and use my mail address stangl@svamberk.net to send the money.
It is wise to send it always as a gift or something like that.
If anybody has got an idea of other payment method Im open to any suggestions.

Also I found probably important information about receiving payments on my bank's website:

Instructions for received payments
The condition for crediting a payment to your account is the proper completion of the bank and account number by your business partner, therefore a payment order from abroad received to your account at eBanka, a.s. must include the following data:

Number of the receiver's account:    CZ2324000000000378576001
Name of the receiver: Zdenek Stangl
Receiver's address: Ibsenova 1, 638 00, Brno, Czech Republic
Name of the receiver's bank: eBanka, a.s.
Address of the receiver's bank: Na Prikope 19, Praha 1, 117 19, CZ
Swift address of the receiver's bank: EBNKCZPP
Purpose of payment: goods, services, gifts, etc.

Hi, Ptaczek!

   I didn't catch you anywhere else and I don't want to risk your spamfilter elimitating my mail, so I'll post here in English :-).
   I'm glad you're still alive, though fighting with the bad luck. It always seemed to me weird, that you didn't post any way of donation in PtokaX, you should have done that much earlier (I know, everybody's a king after the battle). Think about placing the info you've said here (or at least the donation info) in the about box of PtokaX... maybe you could even place there a message which would pop-up after the first execution of a new PtokaX version.
   Another idea is, that you can keep some kind of record about the people that give a reasonably big donation (they would have to send you an e-mail with info, which would be sufficient for their identification) and provide them with special care and support (like maybe pre-release versions, feature requests, etc.)... that could motivate others to support you =)

Well, the least we all can do is to spread the word about this thread among other PtokaX supporters (mainly to all admins using PtokaX). You know, maybe send a message in the Mainchat of every hub you visit which runs on PtokaX...

Well i can't donate money at the moment (because i'm unemployed and need some myself ^^) but i would help on doing translations to German if needed...(thinking of future Language File Support and so on).
If wished i can give off some of my Webspace for Ptokax related Mirrors (i.e. Wiki/PtokaX Downloads and so forth) free of charge :D
I still have over 300Mb space free atm and dont need it.

unlimited subdomains, unlimited SQL Databases on a Linux 7.1 Server Hosting with garanteed Server uptime of 99.999% based in Switzerland. And best of all NO TRANSFER LIMITS :D :D

I hope to at least contribute something towards this great Hubsoft this way.

P.s i have set up a Ptokax Download Box Mirror for European Users anyways :D keeping it as up to date as possible ^^

I've got a Czech bank account number for Ptaczek, but I don't wanna give it without his agreement - and even if I gave it, there would be no proof it's his, not mine, and I don't want you thinking I'm planning on getting his money ;-) However I told him to update the post and add the info for CZ people, so hopefully he'll add it :-)

That's a cool idea... cause i cant afford to give much, and to make an international transfer is not worth it...
And if you want, i dont mind getting a paypal account for it, of course you would have total access to it... and then it would already be worth it a international transfer or you could even come to Vienna and get it yourself  :P
