Thanks, Achim. I forwarded this to the folks on the team who handle the accounts. They looked into it and have informed me that switching from OC to Stripe wouldn't be cheaper at this point because the accounting costs for the large number of small donations we receive would exceed OC's fee. We're approaching the point where switching would be cheaper, but we're not quite there yet. It's worth noting that Bitcoin donations and payments from Qubes Partners both bypass OC, so the largest amounts tend to avoid that fee. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEZQ7rCYX0j3henGH1203TvDlQMDAFAlvsDpEACgkQ203TvDlQ MDAnRw/+PH4+R3vSnDeeoPG1hD3MjzYC3eAr2WpScNKiO46dHpBf3T44vH9NgMNW VC8whh442Sz2nRPfFA+tYbI8VR2l85Wg7Y5C/BNRcmHnqL8BjdayVNCepgribi7L SUacJrgUCshGJ+k74iR+OWl9c6vLV6uocUGN5GVdcuA5LhAGF8bIBi9d1dXYzrJB +kMwH9hm588xVLKfxzAiO+7NQ3FjNoU8PV36fPo6xXk5pCR6SZ1SR7C86zBSIuDc Yd2l4l3zJs9/9a5mPTMVEwNwdHAlMDE6UY64ZELw2vzUShrOil27fDwz+SgHwiYS cAdrDLu0wSJYN0XBfB0SEpCReL/cu61WgZLCbbrxXSXwKzGdQxEDrySPnBX6L5GH Zjo/YIEaeKXWEzCuS63ay5QZkGtAQehgS129My22c7eN/VCx9VtEgno5Fk6uo+ui LvWlTtqEquBzEowuazICvma20uUDhWI44yXFp7KJq7nb7tgvadl7aH/BIGYNeU9i a3S5IuEyqD84eMh5zJgqwegeE/XehPospJzyyo8huX/7ukqi+1DbmDmpzvZO6W0D VZP1KczXYFesQ9ZHUmtazp1VaBbnR0/uJZxTUx/wGaKtnFBI77MA2K3M3/KSZIdv i4yvM32yULFAECe8JkfgXXfpolpPZi3SGYxHCSPBrAGRLcEyHPM= =ZV8s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
