Donate

A systray icon encouraging donations.

DRAFT!

Introduction

Implementation idea for a donations based Open Source business model.

Status: Stalled. No specific plans at this time.

related: Open Source Business Models

Donation Verification vs non-Verification

• Verification: No, the actual donation status will not be verified. This is to avoid having to invent code that does that.
• honor based: Yes.
• fake donate: Will use be able to select "I donated already" without having actually having donated? Yes.

Systray Options

Left and/or right click menu:

• I donated already.
• I am eligible for an exemption.
• Remind me in 1 week.
• Remind me in 1 month.
• Close.

Screenshot Issue

TODO

• issue: If the user makes a screenshot, the systray icons should not look different for users who donated vs did not donate yet.
• solution: The systray would have an (invisible) countdown from 60 seconds to 0 seconds. Once 0 is reached, the systray terminates itself so it vanishes from the systray.

Qubes Specific

• In Qubes-Whonix:
  • Undecided. Perhaps,
  • show donations systray inside anon-whonix only to avoid duplicate systray icons.

Non-Qubes-Whonix Specific

• Avoid duplicate systray icons in different VMs.
  • Only run in the default VM.
  • Skip if running in a "multiple VM". I.e. not the default VM but a VM with a different local internal IP different fro the default internal IP.
