Update Uganda

Do you have a list of ways you accept donations? Apart from my BP, I don't have much, but maybe there is a way to contribute or ask my followers to donate.

The easiest way for us is to get Euros.
We often collect for a specific cause, e.g. school fees, water tanks or solar panels and then open a donation account via Paypal.
It is not worthwhile (at least from Germany) to send clothes, toys etc. because the postage is far too high. We buy everything locally.

Donations have also been collected on the blockchaines, which have helped often enough.
As a result, many children have been able to go to school and graduate in recent years.
This year, too, some pupils are taking their exams and we are paying for it.

Okay, so the answer is: you accept direct transfers of BLURT, HIVE, and STEEM. I assume you also accept the other tokens found on those platforms, like SBD, HBD, and TRON?

I have a suggestion. You mentioned in this post that you aren't getting many donations. I couldn't find anything about how to actually donate. I had to ask you, and then make replies, in order to finally get an answer from you. My suggestion is stop making it so difficult for people to support your cause!

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple.
We are not an association, we are private.
In Germany, you have to pay taxes on donations above a certain amount and we can only exchange crypto to a limited extent.
That's why we have no interest in things getting too big and getting out of hand, also in terms of administration and time.
The whole thing has to remain feasible for us and we have managed this very well in recent years.
Not to forget: we also have our own lives and we don't earn any money with it.
There are no administrative costs from the donations or a salary for me.

So far, everything has been feasible for us, even the donations that came in cryptos.
The people on the blockchaines have simply joined in and got involved.
And we have always regularly opened a donation account for a specific purpose.
And for the very attentive..... above in my account is the donation account of Leetchi ( https://www.leetchi.com/fr/c/soziales-von-elke-zaksek )
However, they changed their site and then all the updates were gone. That's why we prefer to do it via paypal.

We have not opened a special account for Boscos mobile.....

Okay, well my PayPal is frozen because PayPal claims they are not sure I am really myself, and want me to perform various tasks in order to prove it. I already tried once and they said I failed to prove I am myself. I have had the account for 23 years and never broken any rules or anything, but now I have a lot of funds tied up in that account. They say if I fail again, they will take the funds and close my account.

But I do have 134 Tron (TRX in the Steem wallet) as a donation, if you could use it.

Yes, I'll gladly take the Tron.
Thank you very much!

I'd love to give them to you, but it turns out that they are not meant to be transferred. The option appears to be there, but it doesn't actually work. I should have known that would happen, since everything else about Steem, and the Tron takeover, was a complete disaster and has devolved into absolute garbage. The "transfer" option leads to a demand for a Tron private master key, which is not available. In the keys and permissions tab, there is a section that says:

"TRON Account Private Key
Please check in the PDF containing public and private keys of the TRON account."

There is no link to "the PDF" or explanation for how to find it.

Why is it so hard to send TRX? Has anyone ever successfully done it? What a useless currency. Everything to do with Tron is a scam. I can't imagine how it has risen to be one of the top 10 cryptos in the world. I've never heard of ANYONE talking about it, and I've never seen any website, business, or platform that accepts it. It is the highest ranking crypto that has zero uses and zero value.

If you know how to get these 134 TRX, you're welcome to them! But it appears they will remain in my wallet forever, just like everyone else's TRX will.

The PDF was offered for download at that time.
You had to save your keys.
You probably didn't do that....

  ·  8 months ago  ·  

No, neither a PDF nor any keys were offered at any time. What kind of idiot do you take me for?

This is what it looked like back then:

At least everything worked back then.
I also received a donation of Tron back then and swapped them.
