PrimeGrid: Donation drive for the server move

[RSS]

As you all may know, our datacenter is closing down and we are moving the servers of PrimeGrid soon. We are taking the opportunity to move to the cloud, which will reduce our costs and will allow to purchase additional resources when needed (for example, during the challenges). However, PrimeGrid does not have any financial backing from universities or organizations. For the last year we have not been receiving enough money from donations and Google ads. Therefore, we have over 800€ debt for the last year for collocation of the servers, and this year we have already added close to 300€. We also need the money for the purchase of new cloud services. Because of this, we have to ask for your help. If you can help, please head to the donations page (http://www.primegrid.com/donations.php) and make a contribution. Each contribution, no matter how big or small, will earn you a donor's crown. However, we kindly ask you to keep the donation above 2€ because of transaction fees. We have also added a direct transfer in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, United Kingdom. We now also accept WebMoney. These donation types will be handled by our new payment processor, mokejimai.lt. One tiny note: because of the server move, all donations will be handled and entered into the database manually, therefore it may take some time until your donation is processed and appears in the donation page. So, once again, if you can - please head to the donation page (http://www.primegrid.com/donations.php) and make a contribution. It is you who helps keep PrimeGrid running! Thank you for your support in advance. And if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact any of the staff.
