Why? We don't have any secrets. Actually publishing that stuff now was the right thing to do by GDC.

Just a heads up here...
I went to do a bank transfer today....
In regards to the bank transfer info...
In Canada our 3 national banks will not simply do a bank transfer with only this info:

Account owner: Neo900 UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
IBAN: DE55 7607 0024 0043 4332 00
BIC (SWIFT): DEUTDEDB760, Deutsche Bank
Customer reference / payment details: your e-mail address

None of the national banks will send money anywhere without the account owners address. In their words sending money blindly without knowing where it is going is unaccountable.

If there is no physic address I can't do a bank transfer.

And you will have to pardon me here ...but I'm not about to do another credit card donation...that simply isn't happening.

Hopefully there is an answer here that will enable myself and others to get the funds to you guys.

Sorry to hear that it caused problems
Of course there's an address, it's in the details in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...29#post1426929 in http://handelsregister-online.net/ne...cfm?cn=3966641 but of course it should have been mentioned in our letter and everything.
So here it is for now:
Account owner: Neo900 UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
______________Untere Kanalstrasse 7
______________90429 Nuernberg
______________GERMANY


IBAN: DE55 7607 0024 0043 4332 00
BIC (SWIFT): DEUTDEDB760, Deutsche Bank Nuernberg
Thanks for the headsup and sorry for missing on that detail, we updated it in our newsletter and the donate page.
cheers

That smells like total BS from CDN banks.
Above IBAN/BIC code is european wide the only interesting info.
You could write as receiver: 'Peter Pan and Wendy' and the money would go to mentioned account.

Nevertheless here is the desired info:

Neo900 UG
Untere Kanalstraße 7
D-90429 Nürnberg
Germany

from handelsregister

BUT maybe you should ask your bank clerk whether he will deliver it personally to that address?

Yarg! I thought I saw it...even hunted through a few threads looking before I went to the bank...just to make sure I had all pertinent data.
Hehehe
No worries ...If I had to take a tramp steamer with the money clenched in my fist ...I was determined to get it there somehow.

I'm going back to my bank this afternoon...I'm sure it will be no prob now...all the other posted info was fine with the bank so it was just an address detail.
Perhaps editing the 1st post of the prime thread with the bank transfer details ...or the neo website ...somewhere real prominent would be easier to find after all this gets buried by future posts.

Crisis averted and sending funds

Hahaha
THAT was my problem!!!! I put the receiver down as "Mr. Smee" !!!

Nobody ever takes poor old Mr. Smee seriously...!

I always thought he was the misunderstood one ....hence the banks would be sympathetic. Nix on them.

One of the reasons why the banks must have addresses nowadays could have something to do with the fact that scrutiny has found that our rich have been trying to funnel money out of the country to avoid taxes...Our gov't has been trying to close off these "rat tunnels" and make sure that even the rich (who pay the least in taxes compared to what joe-blo must pay) pay what they are expected to.
Hell just recently it came to light that the new head of our national mint was found to be in hot water after trying to help some family friends move assets off-shore to avoid taxes.

So yeh... ...our people had enough of that crap.

Done and done...money sent...20euro/30$ banking fee though...(sigh).
There must be a cheaper way (fee -wise) than either credit card or bank transfer.
Even paypal doesn't gouge THAT much for 1 transaction of sending money.
'cause the fee-weevils () are REALLY sucking gallons of blood I could be giving you guys.

Sorry, I started reactivating that whole stuff only a few days ago, and so far didn't even try to create a paypal account for the UG. While I guess eventually such thing will happen, it won't be this week for sure. Also I heard *several* stories about paypal freezing accounts particularly when they receive lots of payments immediately after being opened, and I guess that's something we want to encounter the least, right?
Another huge problem is: I have no shipping service yet, and thus can't tell which regions might be problematic, and I think it would be dishonest do accept donations without even being able to tell if we can deliver a device to that region, or at least clearly explain that problem, which is not exactly easy to do for paypal. I wonder if I could send back donations when it turns out we can't do service to that region.
Please also see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92428 which deals with that problem which existed since beginning.
Please stay tuned, stuff is likely to improve, slowly but constantly.

cheers
jOERG

I was thinking would simple money transfer service work ?
something like : http://www.riafinancial.com/global/s...-transfer.aspx
it has locations all over the world : https://www.riamoneytransfer.com/ria-locator
This might simplify the whole donation process
You can even send ca$h

Could the community perhaps help ? Residents of the various prospective destinations are the most likely to know - among each other, individual experiences can of course vary - how their customs work.

We did something like this at Openmoko:
http://archive.today/jlt53

Also, people living in a country with unpredictable or overly restrictive customs may bring the device with them when they travel abroad, or ask friends to do so. A strict filter based on country of residence would therefore exclude people unnecessarily. It would make sense to show those at higher risk of encountering problems a warning, though.
