Hi,

I use Proxmox for my home lab. Great piece of software. Lots of learning I am doing. Recommended in Linkedin and at company. Want to contribute financially. I am unskilled to do it otherwise. My home use does not justify a subscription.

I went through the forum and I saw there is already some "hot" controversy around this. Not my intention to create distraction on important things.

I saw banking details are published and I thought on just wiring some money (SEPA). I do not do PayPal fraudsters.

However, I am weary though that receiving money this way may create a headache to accounting. Money and invoices need to match. Accountants and tax authorities like numbers match.

I want to do good. Not expecting any services whatsoever. Can I wire money to the account in the website?? or money will be returned and your accountants will question my mother actually doesn't know who my father was ?

Thanks.

JC
 
Maybe contact the Proxmox (sales) office direct about this (and lets us know)? The volunteers and random strangers here cannot really determine whether donating by bank transfer would cause a problem for Proxmox. I do donate like that for other open-source companies and I have suggested exactly this in the past for Proxmox users (who found the subscription too expensive or rigid) but people always replied with reasons to not spend any money at all.
