[Solved] Donating to Linux Mint -- Help!

Post by nalinratnakar »

Hello all,
I've been using Linux Mint for the past few years and it has been my daily driver since then.
Linux Mint is just awesome. Fell in love and diched Windows for good.

I tried to support the project by donating a small contribution now and then but it seems i am unable to do so.
I tried donating using Debit Card/Credit Card option as i'm not keen in opening a PayPal account just for donating.
But it seems that i cant send donations to this recipient as it is not supported in my country.

Screenshot is attached for reference-

You could add more options as well other than PayPal and Bitcoin. Maybe payment through Skrill or other such online payment options.

Anyways keep up the good work. We all really appreciate your efforts.

Regards-
NalinRatnakar

Thanks for wanting to support the Linux Mint developers! Unfortunately Paypal doesn't work from your country. Please consider using Patreon or crypto currencies instead. Both are also on the donor page. While Patreon is for monthly recurring payments, you could cancel after the first month and that immediately stops all future payments—effectively making it a one time payment. Patreon should work from your country. If this is not possible we recommend donating to upstream projects or local open-source initiatives.

I wanted to do it just once, but then decided to go monthly for the minimum amount, at the end of the year, it was about the same as I wanted to help out via Patreon
