Re: [qubes-users] Re: Setting up regular bitcoin donation / buying support case?

2017-06-23 Thread taii...@gmx.com
I agree - setting up a team of non-developers that are linux support 
specialists for the business users of qubes would be a great way to drum 
up cash.


This should be made to happen, maybe cc ADW?


FYI There are an incredibly large amount of detailed bitcoin howto 
guides on the internet, there isn't any need for the devs to waste time 
making another.

Yep, setting-up a bitcoin wallet & exchage plus high commisions on other 
channels kept me from donating. Plus the donation is terrible tax pain for 
enterpreneurs in PL. The easiest would be to receive a monthly EU VAT invoice 
for "Software development" and SEPA bank transfer.

How does it look from your side dear Qubes team?
