@ Benefactor: I am sad to be the bearer:
"Dear Mark,
Thanks for your interest in the OceanCleanup. Unfortunately in this stage we cannot accept cryptographic currencies. However we are glad that you want to donate, and if you are still interested to do so, would it be possible for you to convert the unobtaniums to dollars, or any other 'regular' currency?
If so, please donate to:
Account member(IBAN): NL73 ABNA 05294 51824
Bank Name: ABN Amro
BIC: ABNANL2A
Thanks in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Kees van Bezouw "
I am going to be my cynical self and say that if crypto isn't "normal" enough of a currency for them, then they get nothing. Sorry. I am sure there are some stupid legal loopholes or something if the donation is made directly to the foundation or what ever. If you were to donate it directly to a person, spouse or other immediate family, things might be different. I am all about working with them so that they can receive their uno, but this wasn't just a monetary donation thing for the sake of being altruistic. This was to help people who help, and to help uno while helping people. Or am i off base, and this was just a way to donate? I would have rather just donated u.s dollars if that was the case, just saying..
I am a stickler for word use. Terms like "regular" piss me off. Regular to who? Who sets these standards? That ONE word is what is making me say screw them. It is just as ignorant as saying "i only support regular marriage, between a man and a woman, ya know, regular, normal marriage." It is ignorant. Am i being ignorant with this, yeah, a little. Then the nerve to plaster your banking info there. "Sorry, your internet funny money is no good here, but if you decide to trade that in for real money, you can feel free to send that here" really? How about just, "thanks for your thoughts and considerations, unfortunately we are unable to accept cryptos, good luck with your projects and getting your coin recognition" That just rubs me the wrong way.
