      Either that, or country within EU where cash is seldomly used and the person thought “wtf do I do with this…”

      I mean, a letter to the USA surprisingly would only cost me 1,10 Euro. So this is less than the donated sum, but it’s still a bit weird to only send 5 Euro with that.

        A donation is a donation. I donate a couple bucks a month to Wikipedia, and they kiss the earth I step on. XDDD

          I mean, people are free to donate as they like, I am just pointing out that more than 1/6 of the donation goes to the post service.

            Yes, I get it. It’s the same reason why I’m paying for the VAT of my Wikipedia donation. If they have to discount the VAT from my meager contribution, those poor lads will be left with pennies… :P

    The fact that signal does not accept cryptocurrency donations in their own Mobile coin is crazy.

    Especially, they also don’t accept Monero which they copied for their own pump and dump crypto, acknowledging it’s the superior currency out there that fits their mission perfectly.

    https://signal.org/donate/#cryptocurrency

    And on the mobile app the donation nag screen only accepts standard payments, not crypto payments.

    In Canada, typically signal is found on the phones of drugs dealers, wanna be con men and covoy (diet J6’r) fucks.

    In Europe it gets more respect and better usage? Also, if this person doesn’t use internet, how would Signal be of any use to them?

    Confused unga bunga.

      Because they wanted to donate without having a paper trail. So they sent cash via mail.
