Go fund me doesnt take paypal and charges 10% or something on the amount funded. Thats why I asked if there is a paypal account I could send money to instead.

Take PayPal and you certainly have a donation from me.

Heres a message to OttoCBD and NizmoKush,

Its because of people like you, that I made my donation.
I have been in your shoes more than once in life.
Today I can afford to make a donation.
I did so with the thought of the moment, thinking about those that may not be able to (but wished they could).

The communal attitude on this site ,and the rewards I get in knowledge makes me happy to contribute, because others cannot.

Payment is appreciated by all to keep the site going (pretty obvious).

In the mean time, chin up and pay with knowledge and experience.
I for one will accept that as proper payment until your means change for the better.

Wishing you both better finances down the road of life,

GC

I found this site just after it opened in 2011. I was searching for somewhere to rest and none of the others felt right or even tolerated an open and informed discussion about auto-flowing plants.

Since then, it has been a joy to share my efforts and see those of others in an open and honest environment, without all the posturing and negativity.

The site has only got bigger and better due to the volunteer work of the admins and staff. It is a privilege and honour to play my small part and keep the site going...though it will have to wait till after pay day.

@GeorgeCloney, you are awesome! Thank you so much for your compassion, generosity and understanding. I live on a very limited income but I always try to carry my own weight wherever and whenever I can. Unfortunately, as this is the end of the month, any expendable funds have already been expended. Anyway, I really appreciate your note and I'm grateful to be a member of this great community. Thanks again!!

PayPal held Hobbes' money 6 months last time he used it. All of these services have lots of rules against Cannabis sites! So PayPal is not an option.

It asks for 10 percent as a tip. You can change that to 0.00

I'm not a qualified pot head per-se.
Just a part time teacher, full time grower.

So I'm sure we have a member that has more legal experience than myself to advise us
on going about payments in a somewhat creative way.

Such as buying a pencil from Hobbes on Amazon for $10.
(delivery optional).

And how do I pay to stay annon you ask?

Visa Prepaid Cards – VCIB

If you have to register the card, how do you remain anonymous? I got one of those cards a few years ago and thought it would be as simple as one of those prepaid phone cards that were all the rage back in the 90's. After finding out that I had to register the and 'prove my identity', I gave up on it.

 

[GeorgeCloney]

Great question Otto,
You bought it and register the card, but lost it by some pothead pickpocket.
Buying the card, and actually using it are two completly different legal matters.
We have to prove YOU used it? If taken to court.
Which won't happen.

Walk into any major hotel,public library etc..etc.. and use their courtesy computers and buy pencils on amazon.

The papertrail and tracking to the cops is worthless time spent for such a menial purchase.

The reason I proposed this is, in todays age,...folks are reluctant to buy online with their regular credit card.

Or use your regular credit card and buy a dozen pencils $2 each.

Did I happen to mention Hobbes pencils write green and smell kinna funky???...thats a completly different conversation.

Sorry Hobbes,
