Remember the thread from yesterday where a fellow gopher in Tanzania asked to borrow a PC for a year? Well I have good news!

A lot of people were willing to help, but most needed a way to contribute small amounts to a bigger pool since shipping an actual PC was a bit too expensive.

So I have been in touch with /u/gernest_ and he told me he has access to a bank account that can receive money via SWIFT transfers. So, what now?

  • A few of us found some online retailers in Tanzania that accept cash on delivery, e.g this one or this one.
  • OP mentioned he needs a 64bit machine with decent RAM. Among laptops with 8GB RAM, this is the most expensive laptop available at ~$1000 USD. The second most expensive is this one at ~$550 USD.

I'm willing to contribute the majority of this myself but if you would like to chip in as well, that would be great! More money, better specs :smile: Let's do this!

Quick FAQ

  • How do I contribute? I'm willing to collect contributions for a few days (a week, maybe?) before sending the SWIFT. So if you'd like to contribute via PayPal etc., PM me.
  • Why should I trust you? You don't have to. I'm offering this because I'm willing to absorb all transactions costs (PayPal withdrawal, SWIFT, banking etc.) and as proof, I will PM the SWIFT transfer confirmation email to anyone who donates. Still, feel free to contact OP and make a transfer yourself :smile:

EDIT: If you want to receive updates, please mention your reddit username in the PayPal note! I have no way of contacting anonymous donors :smile:

I'm a bit suspicious of sending money, especially via bank transfer.

But I did offer /u/gernest_ $200 for a 1-2 day PR work on an opensource project.

I haven't recieved a reply up till now - this may very well be a scam.
