    Hi folks,

    I've been afraid of looking at my bank account for the past months but
    finally had to do so.  For the last three months, the payments from
    LilyPond users were stable: one paying €100 monthly, one paying €75
    monthly, one paying €10 monthly.  Thanks, you know who you are (I hope).

    When adding in the payments arriving via Paypal, I am at about €200 per
    month.  Which doesn't pay for a whole lot of bills in Germany.

    Now obviously I am not currently providing a whole lot of value in
    return but at least enough that we will hopefully be seeing a reasonably
    tolerable stable version 2.20 soonish and it's not like I have nothing
    to do with it, either.  And it's not like when I wasn't yet hampered as
    absolutely by the blood pressure medication until skipping it gave me a
    stroke and not burned out as much that I earned as much as a software
    developer of my productivity then.  Or even as much as a janitor.

    I'll go looking for a menial minimum wage job soonish where I don't need
    to be creative on command.  In the meantime, try thinking about whether
    my contributions to what LilyPond is have been of value to you.  And if
    they were, consider giving some back.  And if you can't think of
    anything better than money, that's ok with me too.

    All the best

    David
    Hi David,

    I've sent something to your bank account. Should be available soon, if
    not already.
    Not as much I'd wish and with huge delay (sorry for that) ...

    Thanks for all you've done and do.

      @ all:
    I'd like to invite you to consider joining (if not already done).
    Well, I'm not a native speaker so I doubt I've expressed myself
    accurately, so you may reread the mail I reply to.

    Thanks,
       Harm

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've not had a lot of
    experience sending money via Paypal (using *only* an email address
    as a destination).
    So I would like to make sure I get this right. :)

    To confirm:
    We can just simply send our contributions directly to David's GNU
    email address and he will receive the money on his end, is this
    correct?

    I'd like to setup a system where I can easily give more frequently
    and regularly to show support, now that my situation has changed
    as well.

    Thanks.

    Ben

Is it better to use *his* local currency, I assume? Or are there fees on his end that I can avoid? USD vs. Euro

Thanks.
