it is written in the declaration of Stripe and Paypal's mails signaling those transactions. Some other transactions were disputed right after being made, without mention of stolen cards. Such foul transactions by now amount to 30-40 on which I need to act upon, one by one, declining them through a few clicks. > and second, I can't believe that someone is trying to put down this > project and these people. no offence taken, but this is a bit naive. I will just speak for myself, but many people here may contribute sad stories. Nevertheless, I'm not calling for such a thread now. In the logs of this mailinglist you'll find some track record of direct personal aggressions I've suffered just by being a representative of the foundation that is hatching this project. I'm in F/OSS since pretty long now and people have done wikipedia pages talking about me and some of our projects, translated in various languages. As of today almost all of them have disappeared, as they did all mentions of me or dyne.org contributions to free software, in the arc of only one year. My conclusion is that we were targeted by a few deletionists with a clear agenda. Some of them first started deleting Devuan related pages, then crawled on... > Who funds this? Devuan is funded only by donations right now. We are documenting the finances, but I'm a bit late on the task. I'll likely updated the balance this week, we are at around 11K eur donated in 1 year. If you are asking who funds trolls, then the only wild guess here is Red Hat but I personally don't believe in that. > My universe is innocent. Really. The definition of a universe transcends that of an individual... But I do believe you're not asking in bad faith :^) ciao
