Hello Forum,

I just wanted to raise awareness, well for donations.

First off, I don't know anyone from the project personaly (or online), nor do I or will I have or get any benefits from this post. I'm not even a Developer.

I could not imagine what else I could need, besides GrapheneOS on my Pixel (well in this context), with recent patches and maby assorted new features.
And this not only this year, but maby in 5 years etc??!!

So since the project is working very hard, because of a passion, and dedication to deliver the GrapheneOS experience to Pixel phones I think it is time to raise awareness for donations.
Think a small, regular, donation won't help?

Think again:
Take 0,50c regular monthly donation times whatever number (users) you come up with. Times 12.

What would happen with 1$ monthly?

While I won't say what I'm donating, it actually doesn't matter what a individual donates as long as it's done regular, I can share how I came up with my amount:
I'm paying for a VPN, Private Email Account and Cloud Storage.
Why? Because I have to if I want to use the service. I'm somewhere in between.
GrapheneOS is free download, free use and free "services" over at telegram and here.
Should I not show some appreciation?
Exactly that is what I'm doing, and exactly that is what in raising awareness for.

At the end:
Not calling anyone out, not trying to make anyone feel bad, not needing or wanting likes or friends, not wanting to know that you do or do not donate, and not wanting to know how much you donate.
You are free to do whatever you want (or dont want for that matter).

Just think about it, and consider it.

That's all.

Great week everyone

Appreciate the post. :) We do appreciate all donations. People should donate only if they can comfortably afford it, but know that it is very much appreciated.

And again 😉
Still (mostly) on digital detox BTW. At least from privacy subjects😂
GrapheneOS still running strong, with play store etc.
