I am reading lately ugly news about fraud on Paypal and banks stopping making payments.  Besides I despise profoundly these folks based on past experience which contributes to my skepticism. When I saw their web  in the donate page I backpedaled.

I wish I could just do a SEPA payment. No need for Visa, mastercard, stripe or anything else.

Apologies for the out topic.

Yes, same experience here, just actually wanted to donate again (did so last year) and saw PayPal and card payments with a form that looked like my resume (although just empty) --> backpedaled as well. I won't say anything bad about PayPal though, my only concern is that I can logon that thing once out of ten attempts, effectively locking my own account, needing a landline, a mobile phone, my grand mother ID on top of mine and god knows what else.. This is in fact technology that doesn't work and I prefer to spend my time on things that does; work. An alternative would be welcome, yes

Hi,

If you want to use SEPA just ask for details via contact@deciso.com -- also keep in mind the GitHub sponsor page is also available https://github.com/sponsors/opnsense

Unfortunately there's no single great platform to pull this off and adding more options will just cause more maintenance overhead.


Cheers,
