[SOLVED] Money makes the world go 'round

danielbmartin · 10-01-2023, 08:03 PM

I use Linux Mint and want to make a financial contribution.
This page ...
https://www.linuxmint.com/donors.php
... deals with contributions made with PayPal or credit card.
For personal reasons it is important for me to pay by check.
How may this be done?

You might try directing you query to this email address: root@linuxmint.com. I found it on this page at the Mint website.

Find someone else who accepts checks in the project you want to support, inform a crowd about your intentions, then send the check.

If this does not work, you will have to live with it.

Three days is not a long time to wait, especially if someone needs to make a trip to their bank and say "hey, this guy in another country wants to send me a cheque, will I be able to cash it?"

When one considers that two of the past three days have been a thing called a weekend...

How about giving it a week from now, and if at that point there hasn't been a reply, asking the moderators of the Linux Mint forums if they can escalate the matter accordingly. (Because nobody on LQ can!)

Exact. I live in France and should have answered in the same way. After a week, I get a confirmation, that a check is received. Another week later the announcement, that the package is on the way.

Wait and see...
