Contributions

If you are a reader of a website you appreciate, which is hosted on Bluebox, then please consider making a contribution to cover the costs of colocation of Bluebox. The people who administer the server and the websites on it, do not only have an unpaid volunteer job, but they pay for the costs as well. (Some websites are hosted for free because of the financial situation of their owners. The association that owns Bluebox is incurring structural losses on the colocation cost vs. income.) You can lighten their load and show some support.

Ways of contributing

You can make donations in one of the following ways. You can talk to us by e-mail first if needed.

1.) Through PayPal

You can send money from your own PayPal account to the address admin@blueboxserver.net. (N.B.: only PayPal to PayPal transactions are guaranteed to work; this is a basic account and we currently have no intention of investing anything in PayPal to change that. PayPal has blocked our former accounts once already without a proper way of getting it unblocked...)

2.) Through the normal bank account system:
From The Netherlands: Postbank (Giro) account 5459646 (owner: Vereniging Martijn, Amsterdam)
From outside NL:

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) = NL77PSTB0005459646
BIC (Bank Identification Code) = PSTBNL21

3.) Through wire transfer:
We have experience with at least MoneyGram. Please e-mail us first, to make sure we're in town to pick up the money.

4.) Through the postal system:
Send anything you want to:

Vereniging Martijn
Postbus 93548
1090 EA  Amsterdam
The Netherlands
However, cashiers checks / money orders for small amounts are useless. The bank charges about EUR 10 handling charge for transferring the money from an international check into the bank account.

(until now, we've had no problems with cash getting 'lost' in the postal system.)
