so if anyone can donate to the "keep kazan programming" fund please do.... I have paypal you can send to
-
Being a destitute student myself, I'm unable to assist... Sorry to hear that. :(
-
*nods* yeah i hear ya dude
/me has been so stressed out that he's not been going to classes/doing homework... this stress is going to get me kicked out of school.
-
give me a bank account # and i'll transfer $2000 tomorrow.
no i'm just kidding. dude i really feel for you! i, too, am currently jobless, and i'm doing freelance work just to get some pocket money :(
You're an awesome programmer, ever thought of patenting some of your work and charging for it? even if it's just a little bit?
-
i haven't written anything it would be _LEGAL_ for me to charge for
because almost everything I write deals with other peoples IP [file formats]
(if everyone could send me $5 or $10 each - like 100 active users, my ass would be effectively saved)
-
i'd send you $10
-
id send you money, but i wouldnt do it electronicly
if you gave me your mail addy (i woulndt give it to anyone i could probably ;) ;7 ) i could probably find something to send you.
-
ok for those of you that are actually going to give me $ - YOU RULE :D thank you very much, you're literally saving my ass
if you don't want to do it eletronically that's fine - email me and i'll give you the snail mail addy
-
I wish I could help, but I am a very poor university student. Having money is something I dream about. Good luck though, hope you can find a job soon.
-
all university students unite in the need - since universities screw you over at every chance they get

I understand your feelings, I was supposed to begin work this morning, and they keep pushing it back, telling me to call again :mad:
bastards, that is driving me nuts ( I haven't been working for a damn year :( )
-
I do have a job, but i need to donate atleast half of my income to my mom otherwise we need to live on the streets and i got to many bills to pay. Like cellphone costs, insurance, etc. Maby i'll can spare a few bucks if i come out right.
-
I feel for ya, mate - I got a job, but it ALL goes either to my parents or to paying bills and stuff - my mum's just gone off to re-train as a doctor, so that's chopped the family income by more than half. I'll see what I can do, though. :)
-
I don't mind sending a few Euros (Yes, Euros! You'll have to deal with European money! :p) but I have no idea how much it costs to send it to the US.
Mainly cause with a recent bankfraud case here in holland I tend to stay away from electronic transfers untill things are sorted out. Just need your address and I have to know how many post stamps I'll have to use :p
-
Kazan where do you live and what field are you looking for a job in? Maybe someone knows someone who can help :D
-
Ames, IA
Computer Science
bank fraud? ... paypal hasn't ever been accused of that
-
Wish I could help- but i'm in the SAF (singapore armed forces) so my pay is barely enough to keep me going (i have some supplemental cash from my parents back in India, but not much) here. If I do get any cash to spare, I'll try to send you some, but no promises
-
Dude, maybe it sounds weak to you, I don't know - but I offer you my prayers. I've got no physical income. :sigh:
Really hope it turns out to the best for you, bro.
-
Kaz, what's your paypal account? I can't give you much, being a student but I'll do what I can to keep you programming the wonderful tools that make FS modding possible!! :D
-
if i had a credit card, i would send you something. i have plenty of money, but i can't get it to you.
-
*curses lack of credit card and/or American bank*
My personal PayPal account would be working if I had one of the above... and I'm not in a bad way financially.
-
[email protected] for paypal
sandwich: you don't need an american bank for paypal last i checked....

[color=66ff00]You been eating people and keeping their wallets again?
[/color]
-
no, but a credit card is needed, isn't it?
anyways, I'm about as poor as you, but I get to lend money from my country. haven't got anything left this month. had I had a job, I'd have donated some moneys.
-
a credit card it not required by paypal - you can have just a checking account
I get loan money too - but it all goes to tuition, housing and books :(
and i don't get anymore until next january
-
good thing we don't have tuition fees in sweden...
but that almost reminds me, I need to pay the rent for this month...
-
i checkhed my bank today and i got 4 euro's left, just enough to buy a piece of candy. And i still need to pay 120 euro phone bill.

I've tried - it won't allow me to verify me address (and therefore send/receive payments) w/o either an American bank account or a credit card.
Actually, it may just require some certain numbers off a check from said bank account, but that doesn't help me any.
-
requires routing number and account number
darkage: ouch, i feel for you man! why so expensive of a phone bill?
-
how much money do you need all together, kazan?
-
$100 to be secure for now - but more would be even better
this is paying the rent im worried about
-
... Holy crap, I just noticed that since Kazan's in Cedar Rapids I'm all of ten minutes away from at least one person here.
Which means nothing. Certainly not that I'll show up at your door with a fat envelope of $20s. If anything, it might be a begging tin. Anything but money, I can do. Money, and things that lead directly to money... not so much. Else I'd actually have that tank up and running by now.
And yeah, CR is a ghost town, innit? I tried to get work there, too...

Take 'im out to lunch. :)

I called allot with people i know and with some bungholes from work to let them pay my sallery, that effort costed me more then i got. But i'll manage.
-
Kaz, you'll find a nice present coming your way, courtesy of me! :D
-
Is there not some sort of hardship loan available in the US? Over 'ere, the Uni keeps a spare wad of cash for emergency assistance. thankfully I've never needed it so far........
-
aldo: nope
killfrenzy: thanks dude!!!!
-
I can send you a £10 or so, if you don't mind squids(that's "Pound sterling" !)
I've yet to go back to collage, so I'm unusually flush!!
I've got a debit card (hehheh, read it and weep under-agers!)
worth it for PCS alone.
:)
-
Well, I didn't say before because I've only been here about a month or so. College and all, which explains why I too am freakin' poor. Have to arrange something sometime, though- scare up a bottle of Stoli, watch the corn grow, something like that.
Anyway. Sooner or later my repair work'll start actually paying, I'll send some cash off. That could be a few days from now, or it could be a few months. Have to see as it comes (kinda the problem with freelancing- you're always employed, you're rarely paid), but gotta keep the resident codeslinger up. :D

if you have a debit card then you can directly send me funds via paypal that will be converted to USD automagically
-
can you give me your details, or whatever I need to make the transfer ?
Never used paypal.
-
Just sent $10 your way.
And I live only a few hours away from Cedar Rapids. :ha:
BTW you're lucky I just transfered money to my paypal account too. :)
-
hotsnoj: thanks dude!
megatsu1 and everyone else
here is a direct link to paypal form for sending stuff into me
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/[email protected]&item_name=Keep+Kazan+Programming&item_number=0&no_note=1¤cy_code=USD
if it doesn't work then tell me - i don't always format those urls quite right

So? I'm 14 and I've got a debit card. It isn't abnormal.
Anyway, Kazan, I'll try and send you something when I get home from work.
-
k odyssey - thanks :D
-
Making out like a bandit, eh?
-
Sorry Kazan, it'll have to wait until I get my next bank statement. Bloody paypal won't verify my card until then, and unless it's verified it has set a $0 sending limit. Which is kinda useless, unless you want $0, which you probably don't...
-
I do :p
-
There, you just got it. Enjoy your $0, Raa...
Damn, I must be in a generous mood today...
-
raa tor'h - hardly -- trying to pay bills
odyssey - ok, don't you have online banking?
-
Nope. That's one of the only limitations of accounts that are legal for my age - no online statements. Sorry. When it's all sorted, I can send you something. How urgent is it?
-
not extreme ATM
-
bad thread.. no falling!
-
Give it a tripod. 1-2 legs are inherently unstable, and it's bound to fall.
-
lol
-
I feel for you dude, but without a credit card, I don't think I can do all that much on Paypal.
-
how much do you still need?
i am afriad i can't send you anything, since i don't have a credit card, nmo paypall, and i'm just 15.
-
i still need as much as I can get... job situation here is still sucking donkey balls
[who ever peter m. is on here - thanks!]
-
that'd be me. Got my "expanded use" number this morning.
-
magatsu1: ok thanks :D
-
no problem.:)
-
mm... critical time approaching.. more job applications out.. *crosses fingers*
