The last time I donated dollars was 5+ years ago and I never got any sort of
response when I did it. The money did debit from PayPal, but for all I know
it went into an account Tim abandoned and he never even received it.
Per the last time we all discussed this, a US non-profit was going to cost
something like US $1,500(ish) to setup and an unknown amount per year in
overhead. So, the USA isn’t an ideal location.
My thoughts, if Slávek has his own company, then just pay Slávek directly and
let him pay what/who he needs to pay under that umbrella.
If I still had my full C Corp, I’d offer the same, but I dropped it and am now
under a Sole Proprietorship. One of the downsides to Sole Proprietorship is
that one of the US taxes is on your gross income, so nope, not going to pay
taxes on monies that are just passing through...
The easiest at this point is to just pay our dev’s directly, but that can get
ugly and create equity issues.
At least with the NAT VPS front end to home TDE mirrors, someone other than
the home mirror person can pay for the VPS.
