great :) the dyndy link looks really interesting. i'm sure there must be
a lot of people/groups out there who are dealing with similar dilemmas &
it's only a matter of time before a realistic alternative economy emerges.
when you put on the paypal button for donations, can you also include
info for those with UK bank accounts to make online payments direct to
the furtherfield bank account?

Hi All,
Thanks for your ongoing thoughts on this.
We have found no up-and-running, "clean" way to gather donations. The
visa and paypal button is the portal to a pervasive network- and that
is where the problems lie. There are some good starts in thinking
about this here http://www.dyndy.net/bank/
...and we will be keeping our ears open- so do tell if you find things.
Our approach will be 3-fold once the new website goes live.
For the first 2 options, our focus will be to raise money to run and
develop the website. So we will be asking people for money and feedback: )
1) The first is Visa and Paypal-free! (for the donor at least) - We
will be asking people to send their old mobile phones to us- we will
then send them off to be green-recycled for cash!
2) We will probably have a Paypal button for straight donations too : (
3) for project funding http://www.kickstarter.com/ looks good. This
uses the amazon visa payment mechanism. Donors only make the payment
if the amount pledged reaches its goal.
This is also an interesting micro-payment facility- not quite right
for us at the moment though it could be in the future if we start to
organised differently http://flattr.com/
Cheers!
Ruth
