Since my last $DAYJOB was canceled 12/2025, I'm working full-time at IzzyOnDroid – without any pay. Living on prior savings, I'm now slowly running out of funds. So if you like our service & support, and want it to stay at the current level (and above): any help is appreciated! This can be donations (see: https://android.izzysoft.de/help?topic=support_us – everyone $/€ 1 per month, and I'm covered) – or part-time remote freelance jobs (apart from my IoD experience, I'm an Oracle DBA).:boost_love: #FollowerPower

As I was asked for "order of preference":* OpenCollective for maximum transparency also on expenses* SEPA for ease of access (and no fees, so the full amount reaches us)* Liberapay (3rd only as withdrawal requires Paypal or Stripe, which most of us refuse to use)* Anything else if none of those 3 are fitting youBut also consider your preferences. We can SHIFT (oops) things where needed 😉And thanks to all who already chipped in, or plan to 😍 🤗

@neuron As long as I can. It's somehow "my baby", so I won't give up easily 😉 Still hoping one of our Grant applications gets through 🤞

@mro You can "rewind" such surprises easily within the first 6 weeks (tell the bank to reject that and get your money back). Works reliably, to my experience. But I can only speak for Germany here, and even there I haven't "tested" this will each and every bank, of course.To be on the safe side: ask your bank how it handles it. But I'm pretty sure it does it as described. The one drawing the money must also prove you permitted them to, btw, and otherwise runs into trouble when found out.

@IzzyOnDroid why don't you put a WERO QR code on the website ? * no fee for anybody* instant transfert* no infrastructure neededWERO is available in France, Germany and Belgium at the moment, and as of september in Luxembourg and Austria.As of 2027 The Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Portugal will have migrated their own system (iDEAL, Bizum, MBWAY, etc) to be compatible with WERO. Soon all EU.Check it out. It's the simplest way to transfer money.https://wero-wallet.eu/

@FrankauLux And how do you use WERO without Google or Apple? It requires a proprietary app on your mobile device – and you only can get this app in the two major proprietary stores, via their proprietary app, unfortunately.So much about the "sovereign" EU alternative to PayPal & Co. Unfortunately, not sovereign…

@IzzyOnDroid You can use wero either with the wero app or with your bank application. I agree that this is not ideal at the moment, but considering the speed at which wera is changing, I'm not sure the situation will be the same. It is sovereign in the sense that the money no longer transit via the US but uses the SEPA backbone.I thought this was about giving people a simple way to fund you, didn't realize it was about sovereignty.Feel free not to use it, I'm not getting any cut.

@FrankauLux The bank apps you get where? 🙈 And apologies if it came over wrongly. No offense meant, I was only explaining its difficulties. But yes, I will check with our bank how it looks on the "receiving end". After all, we are not telling YOU what to use. If you are fine with it: no complaints! But we need to see if we can, technically, accept it. If we can, why not? So: thanks for the suggestion!

@FrankauLux As promised, I've checked with our bank. WERO is not _yet_ available there (we will be informed as soon as it is, they're currently working on the integration). To my knowledge, for _receiving_ money, we won't need any app (that's only needed if you want to _pay_ with WERO) – the service person on the phone confirmed that. No ETA yet, though…So thanks again for the suggestion! We'll definitely check that as soon as our bank has it available.
