Donation fund for P1tater

[size=+2] NO MORE DONATIONS NEEDED[/size]
[size=+2] Phone purchased from leoiden[/size]
We all know how much P1tater has helped and contributed to this community. I thought it might be a good thing if we all chipped and showed him some support after all the help and support he has provided. He unfortunately had an accident and his phone ended up destroyed. How about we all chip in a little and get him a refurbished phone? What do you guys think???
I will be accepting the money on P1tater's behalf. Whatever you guys can chip in would be greatly appreciated.
$320 US Dollars donated as of May 5th, 2008 9:00pm PST.

I dont trust my money in your hand !
kidding , I am actually working out some hot deal for a brand new tilt . If it went through, he will get a tilt for deep discount. If not , my money in your bank.

i know its not much but i just donated $20. he's never personally helped me, but i certainly do appreciate what he does for this community
EDIT:
oh wait, i have downloaded from his 4shared folder......so there you go, thanks for that tater

Nice work guy's we are already up to $75

Can you outline what he has done for the community? I am up for donating by all means.
However, I don't believe I've ever used any of his ROM's, and I don't know what other contributions he's done. Has he made tools for use to developers and such?
Sell me with the points and things he's been credited for and I'll definitely donate. Just curious for what he's known for here. ;-)

P1 has done a lot for this forum including support a lot of people that needed help. Aside from that I am sure he has helped many cooks testing their work before they published it to this forum. He has done beta testing for ROMS that you might have used in the past or might be running now. I see him as one fo the key people that keeps information moving in this forum. Those are just my two cents.
-McMex

Here are my 10$!
Pleased to help the forum.
Still no need of specific help, but doing my homework - who knows for tomorrow???
Indeed, an oiled phone lets you always make very fluid calls.....

$25 sent just a minute ago. Don't ask about the email address... it's left over from my days of running a Video Game Emulation site...

hi,
Ok, donation made, you can add another 15$
This way he can buy a brand new castrol... ops, i mean another kaiser...
glad to helt such a great member of this community.
cheers

ohhh myyyy gooood, you have got to be kidding me, the man dropped his phone in oil, if you want to donate then do so, if not don't, p1tater has a BIG reputation, the fact that he has a FTP site for everyone to use was well worth the donation i made. you can find all kinds of cool FREE software to download for FREE. If thats not justification for a donation i don't know what is. Also if you had dropped your phone in oil and helped a bunch of people on here wouldn't you hope that others would donate. Just for the fact of being able get him a new device so he can help beta test to make the programs you download work properly. you should be ashamed of even righting what you did.

For Tater I'll throw in $40.
Tater is the bomb.

Nobody need to sell you the idea because this is a DONATION.
Engrish is my 2nd language but I do understand the meaning and spirit of the word. If you dont , please look up in the dictionary.
Extra money in the pot is good , but there is no one come after your ass for this donation. If you care, thanks for your support. If you dont, mind your own business mate.
Can you sell me your idea of writing your post ? maybe penis envy or small man complex. You aint losing no money so drink your anger management pill and relax. Or just spend that extra money on some grass and call it a day.
important factor: P1tater himself did not ask for any donation. We doing it not for benefit nor fame , not even to prove that my pocket is deeper than yours. We do it cuz he is our fellas in the XDA care bear club.
Beside working on a new cheap Tilt, I guess $20 would help a bit. Its few weeks until my next pay check , but hey, p1tater may slit his wrist with his V3 by then .
He has not directly help me anything ,but I looted his cab here and there . and we all should not ignore the fact that his ****ty attitude keeps stupid post away !!!
ATW !! you should start doing some smart to keep the pot update man
p/s , ****, my paypal is screwed upon me . will send it as long as I get home to jump on my gf account lol

Will do I will add it to the first post
$165 US Dollars so far

i know its not much but
here is another 5 from me Alltheway. I know its not much but hopefully it helps; if i could i would definitly do more. P1tater does alot on this forum trying to help everyone out and it would be great if i can help him out by my donation.
p.s. we just need to make sure he does not end up dropping this one while working on his hot rod again ...

I'm kickin' in $5 just for all the times I've shot Red Bull out of my nose from reading his flames.
Sorry I can't give more, but they upped the rate on my truck insurance because I manage a business that does delivery in OTHER LOCATIONS!!!

Thank you so much to all who have donated so far
This is truly a great community indeed.

[XDA-Donation]Give a penny, not like you will use it in the store

Closed
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
Click to expand...

OK, so I made a donate button, hopefully the mods approve (it is for a good cause). Input your donation amount [for now, we are doing pennies, maybe we might increase it a little later on(now that I think about it, if 100 members donate 0.01, that's only $1.00 lol w/e)]. We'll see how this works. I'll try to list the people that donated, for (Sugar Honey Ice Tea)'s and giggles. (The forum needs to be family friendly.)
No donate button. I don't know when my bank statement will come in.
Just go to your account and send the penny as a gift. No charges and I don't need to verify.
*Mod Edit: Link removed*
P.S. Add a note with your XDA username, so I know who you are.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You all know that idea, and you always thought about it. I was thinking about it as well. Now with internet it is much easier to do. Would like to know if it would be ok with the mods/admin to start a donation account where members would donate a penny (or whatever the lowest donation amount is), and then me wee how much is collected in a given amount of time...and then of course donate all of it to XDA to pay for server space, etc. What do ya'll think?​
CURRENT BALANCE:
$4.15
DONATED LIST
Jaszek ($0.01)
DirkGently (£1=$1.52 Thanks)
Archer (£0.01=$0.01 Thanks)
BazookaAce (€2.00=$2.61 Thanks)

I'll donate for teh lulz
even if was just for you xD
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)

I'm in

4 million members..perhaps 100 Thousand of them active..
£1000.00 in pennies..
Not a vast sum but could probably feed a few third-world families for a year. Let's do it!

Oooor, lets bump it up to $1.

Well you guys can chose. I guess I would need a mods permission to do this first.
If we bump it up to $1, I take 25% for coming up with the idea .

I remember a website where you can give money to raise a bar to reach the top, but I forgot what its called. Anyone know?

In for a Penny, in for a pound!
Happy Xmas.

And thanks everyone for donating so far (especially the people who killed the point of donating a penny and donated more [and also its only Europeans donating now, americans show them you arent cheap ])

Sorry! I'll be MUCH cheaper next time!

okay, thx a lot

People are saying the owner put the domain (DroidHive.com) up for sale and skipped off with all the donations so I would think twice about donating, would also be concerned if you use the same login and password on anything else.

This is not accurate. Please refrain from spreading rumors.
edit:
DroidTh3ory changed his twitter handle to @KillDroidHack
DroidHive is no longer DroidHive, the main contributors have set up at least 2 new sites, one of which is Rombot.org (krackflashers.org)
Donations are donations; if you appreciate the work that someone has put into a ROM, or an app, or a website, then donate. Donations are not a service agreement. If you like a site, and then donate, but the site operator decides he can lo longer support the site, this is not 'skipping off with the donations'. The developers on DroidHive, and many other android developer sites have jobs, families, and other obligations that sometimes cause their hobby of developing for Android to take a backseat.

At least what I posted is what has been said by some of the staff on Twitter and in the chat part of the Hive, if it's inaccurate maybe you can tell us why:
1. It has been operating under http://krackflashers.com,
2. The domain is up for sale @ godaddy.com?
3. The forums are offline?
4. The DNS as well as displayed sight names have been changing daily?
5. DroidTh3ory was the site owner, is that correct? what happened to his twitter account and why has he all of a sudden gone missing from everything?
You'll admit any website displaying the above listed facts should be approached with caution.
So what's the scoop then???? If your saying it's not accurate please inform us, the Android community (especially those who have contributed money) have a right to know don't we?

KDH did not just vanish and I highly doubt donations have been stolen. Unreal.

Cool, then what's the real story with DroidHive?

under new name and look, but droidhive community is bulletproof. we take care of one another and frankly *i dont even care* what my donation was used for. it was given as a sign of gratitude.

Why do people insist on spreading crap about which they know nothing about? If you MUST know what really happened, he went on vacation with his family and all this crap happened while he was gone. And people just made up rumors based on what they assumed happened. He was very pissed when he got back as he should have been. Believe what you want but stop spreading rumors and conjecture as fact. Honestly, I never understood why people get into this kind of nonsense...

Agreed...these people spreading rumors are idiots. What does it matter what he does with the donations anyways? People donate to him because he spends his time making amazing ROMs for people, and he has made countless amount of ROM's for us people who have no clue what we are doing. So we donate to him in appreciation for what he has done for us. So he can do whatever he wants with that money. It would be different if we donated to him in anticipation for something and then he bounced, however that is not the case.

MEMBERS, WITH THE LAST HACK DROIDHIVE SUFFERRED THE DONATION MONEY DISAPPEARED AS WELL... WE HAVE $200 NOW AND NEED ANOTHER $400 TO KEEP THE SITE OPEN FOR ANOTHER MONTH. IF NOT THE SITE WILL SHUT DOWN MONDAY MORNING.. IF U CARE TO OR ARE ABLE TO HELP PLEASE CLICK THE DONATE TAB TO THE LEFT IF YOUR ON THE CONCISE THEME, AND HELP WITH WHAT YOU CAN EVERY DOLLAR IS APPRECIATED THANKS FOR ALL YALL HAVE DONE IN THE PAST YOU GUYS REALLY ARE THE BEST!!!
So it looks like no money was stolen, it just disappeared cause of wherever it was that hacked the site and now they need another $400 to stay open? How do we know the money won't "Disappear" again?
I make donations for ROM's and feel people need to support those who develop for our devices. However I wouldn't put to much trust in Droid Hive right now.

Then don't donate. Who's holding a gun to your head to do so?

The OP asked about the web site and I answered the question with what I have heard in the last few weeks. I'm not saying anyone shouldn't donate (just I wouldn't @ this time) or the site owner shouldn't do whatever with the money, Just that everyone should look at whats going on and make a informed decision based on what they feel is happening.
And Sorry, I didn't mean to quote you in post #17
I support and wish the best for everyone involved with the hive, and will continue to support it with donations if it's still around in a month or so.

It appears that rombot.org is now gone as well.

[Donation Request] Imoseyon LeanKernel on the Nexus 7 - [Current: Goal!]

I'm greatly missing my favorite kernel developer on the Nexus 7.
I recently got the go-ahead to make a thread for this purpose:
Twitter Link
Donations should be sent to this Paypal account rather than Imoseyon's default account:
Link Removed. Goal reached!
Reasoning for a separate account:
I will be managing this account until the goal ($200/250 depending upon speed of arrival) is met; where it will then be forwarded directly to Imoseyon himself with the explicit intent of his purchasing a Nexus 7. Any other donations would be considered for his current or previous work which should be used however he pleases.
Please list your donor ID in this thread or leave a note in the "Special Instructions" box so I can add you to the list of Donors below.
New Stipulation: I'll match the highest donor up to $50.
Hate me? Awesome! Donate a lot =]
Holy Bat-Bananas! Milan616 brings the heat with a $50 donation. I'll match it!
Donors:
Byrong - $20
Allen Vogl - $10
Headcheese - $20
Craig Webster - $5

Imoseyon is a huge name in the Kernel business.
I provided a link to (essentially) his twitter account.
I figure that (for now) my recognized contributor tag would suffice...
Or that by browsing my guides/posts that I am trusted here.
And I don't necessarily want XDA users money. I just find it funny that a few weeks back I had a huge falling out on Rootz...fight with two admins...and lost a lot of respect for the community.
XDA has always been the more pleasant home.
When the goal is reached I plan on filming my laptop screen via On Screen Recording and via my phone (seems, in my mind, harder to manipulate) of the Accounts screen on the Paypall account so that it's well-known that no funny business is going on on my end.
Every penny will be sent directly to Imoseyon.
I actually opened a new Paypal for this reason and am not using the one linked to my bank...it's linked to a bank account that I haven't touched in years. I don't even have a card to do so if I wanted to.
I understand the concerns.
Trust me, I do.
But I can assure you they'll be alleviated.

Imoseyon only has threads and notoriety on rootzwiki... and you're surprised that donations only came from rootzwiki?
Also I believe this is very much against XDA rules. I believe on XDA donations can only be requested AFTER the fact.

Sending to imoseyon as we speak.
I already sent my personal $50 (which is more than I can afford...but hey...I'm no thief!)

Nice job he is a great dev and will provide a great kernel. His lean kernels runs great on my gnex.

No funny business:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbP6-7x5zE

I wish we could see 007 kernel on the N7.

Maybe ask the developer if you could create a thread...
You never know.
All this time; I had no idea Imoseyon had told someone "if I had the device I would develop leankernel for it" (paraphrasing).
When someone repeated this information to me...
We got him a Nexus 7 in 60 hours.

Andromeda Epsilon Smartphone startup

Hi everyone!
Now I have bin designing a lot of phones as concepts and with that i keep learning more and more. Now i get a lot of mails about people asking me to join them in there bisnuss and design for them. Now I had this before and that was all a social test which cost me a lot of time.. But now! It's finally time to start something with a group of people.
Ryan of Andromeda came to me asking me if I could be there designer and well that's what I have bin doing now and I have bin working hard on creation a great design but also one that is great in the hands!
With that we started to go to the first fase and in this we started a Gofundme page, If you guys have time it would be great if you could look at it for now I will place renders within this thread and I wish to invite you to watch the phone and maybe help us get there by either donating or sharing the page! every single bit of help is welcome!
Mod edit: Link removed
It would be a great honor.
What I am doing in Basic is designing the phone and I would also do the commercials, animation and right now also wallpapers.
I worked hard on getting here and I truly hope it can go furder then this and do this as a job!
We will also send when all is furder devices to good reviewers to make the best device we can in design and experience!

Okay, why should I (or anyone) fund you? It looks like the only thing your company has now are some renders. You're throwing around all these high end specs but your company has no experience designing phones. You're in the early stages of development and you're already quoting $549 as the price? You seriously think you can offer a high quality phone with these high end specs? The other major players in the market already have tons of experience, tons of connections. I suggest instead of trying to crowdfund, you try to get actual investors on board. Good luck!

Sorry, but XDA isn't here to help you make money, regardless of the cause.
