We have been using it for MX donations without problem for the last 6 months or so. Weird.

Hey anti: the MX one works, do you want to share it? I could just track the antiX donations separately (or see if I could add you email address for notification) and transfer to your PayPal acc't on some schedule.

You're welcome! You already have received some donations from MX users who recognize the importance of what I have taken to calling the"code-parent."

How it works: the donations go to Paypal, and I get an email about any deposit that is tagged"MX" or"antiX." I keep a running spreadsheet on the account's status, and report to the MX moderators about once a quarter just so there is some oversight. anti is shared with that spreadsheet, and can see that report as well since he is a moderator over there, but if there is someone besides him who should get that report for the antiX group please let me know.

What it is used for: the primary purpose is to be able to cover out-of-pocket costs for maintaining the distros, and more generally, to promote development. I am just paying now MX server and domain registration costs for 2014.

Better: I will post the spreadsheet to Google Docs and share with anti, then he will always know what the status is and can share it if he wishes.

EDIT: I just made a $1 dontaion without problem, so it is working correctly. Are you using
